Virtual Confusion Reactor!

Usually within a containment vessel constructed of locally available raw
materials, this reactor will be located somewhere near the center of the
vessel. As native fauna approach it, they begin to experience
uncertainty, apprehension and a strong fight-or-flight response.

These responses are heightened as they observe that there are more than
3 operational control buttons on it, and even worse, that the universal
controller often associated with it has a *zillion* control functions.

These phenomena are most pronounced in fauna over 40 years of age,
especially if the "User's Manual" has been perused.

The purpose of the containment vessel is to reduce the chances of being
carted off to an institution for rehabilitation by preventing the
neighbors from seeing the cursing, screaming hurling of miscellaneous
objects, falling on the floor and wailing and withdrawal into a semi-
catatonic state that often results in the "user".

The only known reliable preventative measure is for the fauna to
procreate and wait until the offspring attain an age of 3 or so. At that
time, all functional responsibility for the operation of the VCR is
assigned to said offspring and the "adult" fauna are rendered
irrelevant.
