Murphy was the perfect Marplot, constantly sticking his nose where it wasn’t wanted, regardless of whose company he was in.
Periodically, colleagues tried hard to stress the importance of keeping his mouth shut or views to himself rather than dare to invoke the anger of their superiors, but it all fell on deaf ears.
However, this was an exciting day and Management had agreed to overwrite the original decision for Murphy to be excluded from the media footage and Observatory broadcast.
As the asteroid crept its way across the wall monitor, everything suddenly went black.
Murphy announced
“I can fix that!”
and started to tinker with a few buttons and levers before anyone could stop him.
There was a bright flash of light and the image on the screen began to treble in size as it gracefully but far too quickly, began a laeotropic projectory towards Earth.
“RUN!”
Murphy shouted.
