The Scientific Method

As soon as I broke through the barrier at the edge of the universe, the being was there, reaching out for me.

"Help me!" it said, after a moment of staring at me.

"You speak my language?"

"You've broken through to a place beyond existence and you're worried about that?"

"Well yes, I know the science that got me here, I understand it. I don't understand this."

The being looked at me oddly, I think, and shook its head.

"Another scientist. Well, I'll leave you before It notices you."

I was confused, until It arrived, and punished me quite quickly.
