Sam had just finished a long football workout after school. Sam had showered & gotten dressed then walked out of the locker room to walk home. As he walked out, his science geek friend Ethan walked up to him & greeted him, “hey Sam.” Sam responded, “hey Ethan. What’s up dude?” Ethan replied, “I was wondering if you want to come over to my house? I’d like you see what I’ve been working on in my lab.” Sam replied, “of course. Let’s go.” The two boys headed off towards Ethan’s house. On the way Sam asked, “so what have you been working on?” Ethan replied, “I’ll show you when we get there.”
Ethan is your average science genius geek for the most part. He wears a pair of glasses. He has short cut light brown hair. He typically wears khaki pants & a white button down shirt. He’s average height for 15 years old at 5 feet 7. However that’s where he stops being average. Ethan is actually quite muscular & athletic unlike the typical science geek that is skinny & weak. Ethan is quite powerfully built not as big or as strong as Sam but still really strong for a 15 year old science geek. That helps to keep him from being picked on or pushed around. Plus most people when they see Ethan think he’s a teenage football player or some other teen athlete! Ethan has the best of both worlds! Not only is a genius at science, mathematics & video games but he’s also a very accomplished teenage athlete. He plays football, soccer & basketball (despite his lack of height). Being a well muscled athletic jock keeps him from being bullied or pushed around by the other athletes considering he’s also a science genius. Ethan & Sam have been friends since they were toddlers. But they’ve been best friends since they were in 5th grade when Sam easily out grew Ethan in both height & muscle mass. Up till their 5th grade year they had been the same height & size, both skinny. Although Sam had always been real athletic. Once Sam got his first growth spurt that year Sam made sure no one pushed Ethan around or messed with him. He actually stepped in & saved Ethan when some 8th graders tried to bully Ethan for being a science genius. However Sam wouldn’t put up with that.
Just then they arrived at Ethan’s large house. They walked in & quickly ran down to the large basement where Ethan’s bedroom, bathroom & lab was. Ethan lad Sam into his large lab & walked over to a large vault door (like in a bank) on the far wall. Ethan punched in a code then pulled the large, heavy vault door open. The door was easily 8 feet tall, 8 feet wide & 2 feet thick made out of solid steel! Sam had turned his back so he wouldn’t see the code & started looking at something else so he failed to notice Ethan struggling to pull the heavy door open until it was over halfway open. Sam ran over to help Ian pull the door open. Sam remarked, “dang. That door is really heavy. Why such a heavy door?” Ethan replied, “the vault came with the house. Dad figured I could use the vault for storing my experiments & projects. So he gave me the entire basement as my room, bathroom & lab including the vault. The vault is a lot bigger than we thought it was. It actually covers ¾ of the backyard area under the ground as well as small bit of the basement that’s not part of my room, bathroom & lab. We don’t know what it was originally used for but figured it would be a secure storage area for my projects & experiments considering how heavy the door is. I mean I can barely pull the door open by myself.” Sam asked, “so what is it you’ve been working on?” Ethan walked over to a large cabinet & punched in a code then opened the cabinet. Ethan pulled out….
