Ideal for: aspiring scientists
Job Specifications: Even the world’s most brilliant minds need someone to
clean up after them. While he’s lost in his obscure scientific calculations,
you dust off the laboratory and run a few errands. If you’re lucky, his
experiments are harmless (if futile) attempts to turn rocks into gold. But
if your boss has inhaled one too many sulphur fumes, and decides to sew body
parts and jolt this monstrosity into life with a bolt of lightning, start
scouring the classifieds.
Drawbacks: A typical workday would include cleaning up toxic poisons,
climbing tall towers to harness electricity, and harvesting the city sewers
for mice. You may be asked to collect corpses for autopsies, or even worse,
dispose of their mangled remains once he’s done.
Perks: The training is excellent, and after several years, may become a
Mad Scientist yourself. You have the experience, you have the equipment, and
you have an excellent network with the city morgues. The only thing stopping
you? A really low lifespan, due largely to the constant exposure to toxic
substances. All for the love of science.
