eureka!

that's it. all i have to do is connect the red wire with the blue terminal while bypassing the capacitor and arranging for other components to be kept in a state of organic flux. well, i can easily do that as long as i discombobulate the sneg before i attach it to the transmogrifier.

(don't worry. even i don't know what i'm saying.)

well, the answer was right in front of my face all the while.. and i couldn't see it. damn! i must be really blind. now i have a plan that i actually believe in.

neat.
