Hunched over a table in the Special Weapons Division is Cale, working intently on the automated assembly system that Brainy had designed to build the Omnicom computers and communication rings that the crew would be using so that they didn't have to 'shout across the ship' as the green alien was want to say. Laying on the table next to him, is a datapad that Brainy had given him, detailing the specs of the system. But, these didn't read like normal specs and instructions that Cale had read. They seemed...dumbed down. Big time!

"Step 752: Use magnetic screwdriver to tighten the screws, securing the..." Cale then started to silently read to himself. That is, until he got to the footnote of this particular instruction: "The magnetic screwdriver looks like this: ..."

It was accompanied with a picture of the tool that Cale was supposed to use. He stared at the datapad as if it had just offended him. It did!

"I know what a magnetic screwdriver is you green-skinned..."

Cale couldn't even bring himself to finish the sentence.

"I worked salvage."
