Chapter 36

Am I one heck of an evil genius, or what? I said they would open the door and let me walk right out, and that’s just what they did!

All I had to do was use a little laser to set fire to a bin filled with electronic equipment. Galactic Academy of Scientists, my fuzzy-tailed behind. More like the Galactic Academy of Simpletons!

I should be arriving at the planetoid shortly. Once Zurton is in view, I’ll use the robot’s energy detection scanner to locate the all-powerful Zorb. And because my new plushy body’s not actually alive, it can’t harm me!

Zarfloots! It’s great to be me!

They thought I wasn’t worthy of being on their scientific team-that I wasn’t as smart as they were. And yet here I am, so close to achieving my diabolical goal I can taste it! And it tastes GOOD! Like baked beans! With little cut-up hot dog pieces in it. And a squirt of mustard on top.

Soon, very soon, the universe will be mine to command. And I will have all the baked beans my evil heart desires!
