how to assassinate a...

chemist: just keep challenging them to make more and more unstable and/or toxic compounds. if they've made it past FOOF gas, up the ante by saying "ok now do a 1-pot synth"

microbiologist: accidentally a little pathogenic virulence factors into their E. coli supply and poke some holes in the laminar hood HEPA. (don't do this if you share a bathroom with them)

particle physicist: take a couple screws out of one of the hundreds of ladders around the facility

theoretical physicist: remove a manhole cover in one of their usual walking paths, Looney Tunes style

biochemist: sabotage all their grant proposals and they'll take care of their own assassination

computer scientist: fucking don't they're an endangered species now

entomologist: literally indestructible don't even bother trying. these motherfuckers raise botfly larvae in their own limbs for shits and giggles. i fear no man. but entomologists... they scare me

mathematician: use a gun

Molecular biologist: repeatedly spike their samples and reagents to cause random failures. Eventually lack of sleep from running it "just one more time" will kill them.

Marine Biologist: You can't kill a 13 year old girl, no one actually becomes a marine biologist, they just all want to.

Sociologist: Trick them into going to a psychology convention, the crowd will do the work for you.

Psychologist: See above, reverse it. Might be harder to trick, tell them someone in there said they're just an anthropologist who's bad at math.

Anthropologist: Take away their teaching license, can no longer feed themselves because no one else is hiring them.

For anyone wondering, Galois was a mathematician who postulated that you could simplify any problem with a gun

I wish I'd known about this strategy when my rival picked geologist as his starting Pokรฉmon.

Fun fact: you can kill most anyone or thing with a baseball bat at any time you like.

That's cool. Obsidian is the strongest block so I bet it's a very effective weapon.

Obsidian has been used extensively as weapons for hunting and tools for preparing food for thousands and thousands of years.

But yea like other stones, it breaks.
