All Work and No Play Makes Jack a Dull Boy [Open]
Jack Spicer's in engineering at a workbench, repairing the probes the crew damaged when fighting their way through Stacy's immune systems. He has to admit, they're nicer than his own bugs and as he's repaired them he's seen how elegantly put together they really are.
He's a little jealous, really.
Click click click goes the probe in Jack's hands as he replaces broken parts, realigns ones that have been shifted, opens and closes movable pieces to make sure they work smoothly. Who knows what they might need them for again?
And in the meantime, he considers how he hasn't had time to get down to any proper evildoing since waking up here, how there's a guy here who's clearly an awesome villain that he needs to scope out, how there might be nobody but him left from his universe, and (this only occasionally coming forward, but still there) the fact that somebody he had known died on the last mission and that on some deep, human, and entirely unvillainous level he feels bad.

"Okay, well just keep it away from my stuff when you do. You obviously know what you're doing and don't need help from little old me."

"I still would appreciate some help. This is your specialty, after all."

"Lemme see that thing."
He has to know how it works if he's going to be any help, and examining it ought to help him some. Even if it already looks like Weird Future Technology.
Jack's started to get better at Weird Future Technology.
