You know how in superhero comics there are a bunch of guys whose field of expertise is not "theoretical quantum optics" or "atomic scattering theory" but rather, well, Science? How it doesn't matter whether you're looking for a report on the xenobiology of the twelfth dimension or an orbital laser platform or a palmtop time machine, any one of these guys can help you out? What if there were a school whose mission was to provide a steady supply of these people? Why, wackiness would ensue, of course!
