      It’s 2023. Every possible scientific venture has been the subject of a science fiction/horror movie.

      The recycled steel in a kid’s braces was exposed to radiation, now she’s “The Thing With X-Ray Teeth!!”

      Apparently magma chambers have accidentally been drilled into before.

      Edit: That’s actually in this article, too.

      You may find that getting your cautionary tales from a bunch of old, established powers might be flawed if you think about for a bit.
