Artemis Gray, the Minister of Speculation, is now taking questions from the press.

Q: Was the government aware that Feuer Frei was capable of violence on the scale we saw yesterday in Parliament Square?

Mr Gray replies that the Ministry of Speculation has been monitoring a number of student radical groups for some time now. Concerns about them have proven to be justified.

Q: Is it true that all of Feuer Frei’s leaders are now either dead or in custody?

Gray replies that at least one leader of the movement has survived. Regional police forces have been authorised to track down this individual and shoot him on sight.

From The Guardian Live Blog: “Hunt for Feuer Frei continues.” Eight years ago.

All dead. We were set up. Get out. GET OUT NOW.

Text message discovered on the holophone of suspected Feuer Frei member, from an untraceable number.

Unnatural Scientists owe much to that field of mathematics known as Chaos Theory. Chaos Theoreticians proposed that in any system the interactions of elements was unpredictable but determined. What would happen, will happen, but it would often not be the thing an observer suspected. When we get to the heart of it, this deterministic unpredictability is what underpins the work of the Unnatural Scientist. It is not surprise we named the unstable particle interactions we study as “Chaos”.
