About this episode

A stegosaur scientist attempts to achieve flight through her own body modifications.

A stegosaur scientist uses her own body in her experiments to achieve a physical feat that seems impossible for a dinosaur of her kind…flight. Genre: Science Fiction Excerpts: "Modifications! Glint, what you're proposing is more than modification." "How?" "Magnets!" "Sometimes people don't know they need an invention until it's invented." "Know your limits, Glint. I'm trusting you to stop if you reach them." "But can it be done?" The Wheel of Fiction Turns. What did it land on this time? Each Season 9 story follows a theme chosen by the Wheel of Fiction. Thirteen spokes. Eight are the themes from previous seasons. One is "Turn Again." One is a wild card. And three are covered in question marks and will be revealed when the wheel lands on them. See a story trailer and a (satisfying) video of the wheel turning here: Flight of the Stegosaur This episode landed on S.T.E.A.M. Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics.
