"Right. It's easy to get overwhelmed---that happened to me when I was trying to learn about technological developments that came after my era. I've only worked through communications technology in all this time." Billy shrugs, thinking that shaking his head wouldn't be a wise move. There was so much to learn, far more than any human could absorb in an average lifetime.

But he isn't here to talk about that, he's here with his car and Jamie. When he opens his mouth again, there's a sharp note of pride in his voice. "This is my Radbug, a car I modified some time ago to be capable of flight and advanced speed. I can't believe it survived!"

One of his hands glides happily over the hood, curling around to the apparatus at the back and patting it fondly. "That's the high-powered fuel accelerator that produces the energy needed for flight---when I activate it from inside the car, a force is generated that pushes down hard on the ground at an angle, pushing the car into the air."
