Spock Mountain Research Labs: A Short Primer

Who is SMRL?

Founded in 1989 by a rogue splinter offshoot of the notorious TELEfriend Gang, Spock Mountain Research Laboratories has flourished under the harsh light of recent media attention. Easily identifiable from long distances by their distinctive hats and white labcoats, the SMRL scientists have trekked back and forth across the country promoting the twin causes of Spock and Beer, and their resulting condition: Bad Crazyness. While an SMRL technician may indeed be spotted at any event capable of drawing sizable crowds, they are perhaps most often encountered in their natural environment: the smoky confines of a cheap dive bar suits the SMRL man best. Accompanied at all times by faithful monkey robots, it is best advised to approach the SMRL agent in the field with the utmost caution. There exist reports - unproven - of strangers being forced to climb ladders or suffering the indignities of a sudden punch to the gut simply for behaving in some way the SMRL operatives found provocative. Little is currently known as to what motivates the SMRL to such unnecessary acts of hostility, so caution is strongly advised at all times.
