Okay. I watched this Captain America movie you keep yelling about.

Lia
AHHH. FINALLY.

Mason
I have bad news for you.

This is not science fiction. It’s magic dressed up to look like science.
(12:15 PM)
Lia
Didn’t one of your author people say something about how magic is just science we haven’t come up with yet?
(12:18 PM)
Mason
“Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.”
