In the year 20XX, science has grown boring. Humanity has become more interested in other pursuits such as sports and the internet.
In order to gain back relevancy and interest, science has made a deal with the devil and created it's own reality series. Now, in it's 27th iteration, the Nobel Peace Prize Science Fair of the Universe is the most watched show in the world.
The fair works in this way. Every year, scientists from around the world come to compete bringing their latest and greatest inventions. Each day, a worldwide audience votes for who's invention they like least and he is taken out of the competition. This goes on until a winner is finally determined.
While it seemed like a sound idea, over time the competion brought out the less desirables in the scientific community. People who made compelling television instead of compelling inventions. Now it has become a freakshow spectacle of people trying to get their 15 minutes of fame by behaving badly and making crap.
However, in the 27th iteration of the competion, something different happened. Determined to win the prize, 3 scientist have banded together in an effort to win the prize at any means possible including murder. Of course, this was all unbeknownst to the audience.
Now let us turn our attention to the events of that show as we watch the circumstances and situations that went on during the week science went into the crapper.
