There are extremely rare things in the Intergalactic Bounty Hunter Universe known as vials. These vials can mess you up, or give you extraordinary permanent abilities. Crosscheck a Quadlek Bladeskate enthusiast got a Kinetic Energy mutation from them. He knew something changed, but didn’t know what his power was. So he found two mice to test it on. For some reason he waited til battle to test it.
In battle, he charged the mice with kinetic energy and they shot about 65-90 mph into a metal robotic turret. They did some damage, not much. He didn’t know what happened and wondered if he messed the mice up. He said,”I want to walk over and see if they’re dead.” I said well first you need to make rolls to get there, rolls to find em, meinwhile this is a heavy fight you might not survive for putzing around while combat goes on. He said,”BUT MAN! I really want to know what I can do.” I told him,”Well maybe next time you get a super power, practice with it before you go in combat.”
They win combat, but guards come from alert, so they’re running. He asked me,”Jim, did they survive.” I said,”As far as you know, you don’t know.” He said,”Jim, but you need to know.” I said,”Yo, Just, givin it to you straight, you just threw mice into a metal plate at about 90 mph, they’re chances of making it through ain’t great.” He said,”Jim, you roll. You always roll for these.” And he had to be praying cuz…
I roll a 1. Ok critical success, all that gets is another roll. Roll a 1 again… Alright, we’ll see what the next one is… Maybe they’re not super dead. Roll a 1… This is destiny 1 in 20 ^ 3 = 1 in 80,000! I devise a plan. They don’t die. They only become paraplegic. Yet it is so good, they need something special, so they gained super intelligence in the process, and then made little robot bodies gnawing wires with their teeth and putting em together. Crosscheck wanted to know what happened. He didn’t… Until…
Later they then make a giant regenerating robotic mecha, come back to get revenge on Crosscheck. It was a valiant battle, but stalemate. As the robot was gaining advantage, the party fast talked the mice into not killing em because their intelligence was worth more than their appendages. The mice understood that everything was bigger than them… And then decided instead of just revenging Crosscheck, they spared his life. Instead their goal became to take over the universe….
Which leads to the next story about how I wonder who in Yough had a family, friend or friends of family who worked for Warner Bros. 1-2 years before Pinky and the Brain came out, the Paraplegic Mice Team trying to take over the whole universe happened in my roleplaying game: Intergalactic Bounty Hunter. I realized it would make for a good cartoon. So I spent a while telling everyone,”Someone should make a cartoon where two mice are trying to take over the world every episode.” I went on with that for a week, being sure to tell as many people as I could, praying they’d make a cartoon where two mice tried to take over the world. Boom, Pinky and the Brain next year. People say there is always someone with an uncle or distant relative with connections to Warner or Disney, my friends say to this day,”Yeah, someone probably did leak it.” And I’m happy if they did. I’ve come up with many great ideas like this such as telling Westwood to make Dune III multiplayer and add regenerating spice where they disbanded and made Command and Conquer. I just want people to be happy, money is not important to me. If I ever get wealthy with Starfighter General, I’m gonna just help people anyway. Anyway, I have 3 entire classes of Yough High School Pennsylvania 94-96 who will vouch for me that I played Intergalactic Bounty Hunter a custom RPG from 89-95, and most who played it remember the Parapalegic Mice Team. This is verifiable history.
