So The Hero and his Ragtag Band of Misfits are storming your Evil Tower of Ominousness, your Evil Plan has failed and all you have left is your untried, unfinished Superweapon. In a last ditch attempt to stop the hero, your order the deployment of this weapon. . . "But Sir, it's not ready yet!" a random minion declares (this may be anybody from The Dragon, to the Bridge Bunnies). Foolishly, you ignore the warning, and deploy the weapon anyway, probably to disastrous results. The weapon can be anything; missile, Super Soldier, or in Fantasy settings, some kind of unstable magic.

The weapon can be anything; missile, Super Soldier, or in Fantasy settings, some kind of unstable magic. If the characters are heroes, this serves to point out how cutting edge the weapon is and may involve a Million-to-One Chance. If the one giving the order is a villain, then it shows how desperate he is to defeat the heroes, and if they are just clueless NPCs then this is the cue for the experiment to Go Horribly Wrong. Can also be used to show that Science Is Bad. See also: Unpredictable Results and contrast with Super Prototype, when the Alpha version is better than the finished product.
