They especially liked the simple version of a Gauss Rifle, a grooved wooden board with four gold plated, neodymium-iron-boron magnets taped to it. “Cool! What is it?” Carri asked. “It’s a linear acceleration device for studying high-energy physics.” They were silent for a moment. Then Malix piped up, “Can I play with it?” She snorted with amusement. “Sure. Bring it out to the garden. Carri and Twix, you bring the little table there.” She didn’t think Fallon would care if they used the marble topped end table. It wasn’t like they were going to damage it.
