Nuclear Stress Test?

I’m sure this sign refers to something medical (cause the sign says so), but I can’t help but see something slightly sinister behind its bold, block letters. Perhaps a massive nuclear reactor thrums quietly beneath Shadyside’s Arlington Apartments, providing its secret bounty of electrons to the power-thirsty, Apple-using hordes of hipsters.

This site and its regulation-enforced sign are a small hint as to the office’s true purpose: to occasionally crank the reactor to its highest possible level, just to see if the ancient turbines can still handle the output of a fist-sized chunk of uranium harvested long ago from from a decommissioned CMU experiment in time travel or wormholes.

Yeah. It’s obviously something medical.

    yeah… or it lets a doctor see if your heart has any blockages. not nearly as sinister. but just as interesting.
