Down periscope! Dive dive dive! [open, btw. come talk to the grouchy green genius, newbies]

Anyone who ventures near the bathrooms will hear odd, strained clanking noises, to the point of possibly making some wonder if one of the Transformers is trying to go and having a hard time of it.

This is not a sign of one of the 'bots on board needing more robo-fiber, however.

Brainiac 5 is up to something.

Surprisingly, his techie hijinks are something he's been ordered to do--Jaime, the one in charge of the team trying to open up more of the ship has tasked him with building things to scout out where the waste goes, to use that to find out more about Stacy's hidden structures and ductwork, and that's exactly what he's doing--building an array in the bathroom to control and track the sensor-bots he's about to send where the sun don't shine.

"Hmm...still losing signal strength..."

Dani heard the noise and being a curious little girl, decided to check it out while she was exploring the city. She floated into the bathroom, taking a look around before spotting Brainiac. Oooo, that's right! This was the other Brainy person. The non-robot one.

She heard the comment and floated closer. "Need any help?" She asked.

[cabbage-butt.livejournal.com]

"Not particularly," says the green fellow absently as he fusses over his machine.

This one is apparently nowhere near as jovial and friendly as the other one.

[thethirdhalfa.livejournal.com]

"What are you trying to do?" Dani asked. A bad attitude wasn't gonna drive her away that easily, at least.

Fitz just stops for a second and stares.

"...What the bloody-flying-f@#& are you doing t'the bleeding toilets?"

[cabbage-butt.livejournal.com]

"Trying to determine the best means to infiltrate them."

[literaryloser.livejournal.com]

"...They're toilets."

Kyle's been wandering around, not-lost (by his reasoning, one can only be lost if one wants to go someplace), for the better part of an hour, or so he guesses. So far, it's been quiet; the odd clanking sounds are the first he's heard in some time. Out of sheer curiosity, he pokes his head in to look.

Machines? He can work with machines. And this must be the 'supercilious green boy' that the old man mentioned. "Excuse me," he interjects politely, "May I ask what you're building?" Questions about labs and supplies can wait a bit. He does have manners.

[cabbage-butt.livejournal.com]

"I'm trying to calibrate this device to track and sensor probes I'm about to send through the sewer system, to map out Stacy's inner structures."

[tincanbombs.livejournal.com]

"Is there a problem with it?" He's been edging around to get a better view, without impeding the other's movements. Sensor probes and tracking - like the chips embedded in the resistance's clothing. That he can get.

Cielo knew another grouchy green genius. Well, his hair and eyes were green anyway, and to Cielo he certainly seemed like a genius. Though in The Junkyard, coming across someone building something just didn't happen. Stuff... just existed in his world. Taking things apart though, sometimes that happened.

Though that usually required explosives.

"What's goin' on here, mon? Makin' a mess?"

[cabbage-butt.livejournal.com]

"What you call a mess, I call scientific progress," Brainy responds, fiddling with the machine.

[dyausa-pita.livejournal.com]

"Dat like an experiment?" He still didn't like that word for reasons still unknown to him. Yet he still wanders over and crouches next to some mechanical bit and reaches out to poked at it.

[halfa-hero.livejournal.com]

"Okaay, do I wanna know what you're doing to the toilet or not?"

[cabbage-butt.livejournal.com]

"Possibly not."

[halfa-hero.livejournal.com]

"Eh, hit me with it anyways. Not like I've got anything better to do."

[shes-intense.livejournal.com]

"This explains why I didn't find you in the special weapons lab." Brenda sighed, looking over the array of machinery and Brainy at the middle of it.

"Please tell me this isn't some kind of experiment in work-break efficiency. Like eating lunch at your desk only in horrible horrible reverse?"

[cabbage-butt.livejournal.com]

From where he is, tucked under the machine he's working on, there's an actual snort of amusement.

"You needn't worry. It isn't."

[shes-intense.livejournal.com]

"Hey, with you I never know!"

She crouches down and peers at him curiously.

"So... why the bathroom? Is it the acoustics? The ambiance?"

With an omnicom in one hand and his PADD in the other, the young Starfleet Ensign was on his way to the lab to run a test on his progress so far when he heard the odd words coming from the bathrooms. Now. He was used to hearing the Captain say random things in random part of the ships- that was how James Kirk was. But this?

This he had to investigate.

Poking his head inside the rooms he followed the voice until he saw the green skinned man who had to be an Orion. At least that was what Pavel saw him as. "Ah.. may I ask vhat you are zrying to do?"

Curious Chekof is curious!

[cabbage-butt.livejournal.com]

"I'm currently attempting to fine-tune this tracking device to maintain a connection with exploratory mapping probes to use them to gather more information from Stacy's systems after I send them down the waste receptacles."

There's a pause and he sits up. "Are you speaking Khundian? Your accent is similar to the translation errors that commonly result from the translation of Khundian."

[veinwentedzat.livejournal.com]

"Oh," Pavel replied as he blinked once, then frowned. "But in zee refresher? I mean.. it vould be a vay to check one set of systems, but vhat about zee air ducts?" The possibilities of making the ship that way could be, sadly, limited unless the other kid had an idea of the connections that the pipe work could have- like a junction or something that he didn't think about...

"Nyet. I am from a country called Russia on Earth." Of course, mistaken identities are also being shared from Chekov's end with hopes of having someone else from his time. "You are an Orion perhaps?"

[hero-sting.livejournal.com]

Chris had heard the noise and despite the fact he should've ignored it, he decides to investigate the noise.

"What on Earth are you doing?"

[cabbage-butt.livejournal.com]

At this point, Brainy's had to explain this multiple times. This is why he pulls out his Omnicom and plays back a voice recording:

"I'm currently attempting to fine-tune this tracking device to maintain a connection with exploratory mapping probes to use them to gather more information from Stacy's systems after I send them down the waste receptacles."

"I've had to explain myself to every individual who's come into the restrooms for the last two hours."

He doesn't sound rude or anything, just matter of fact.

[girl-of-steel.livejournal.com]

Those noises meant one thing and one thing only.

There was a Brainiac 5 hard at work.

Clearly, this meant that he could not be allowed to work.

Or, at the very least, the boy needed a break of some sort.

And who better to give someone a break than Supergirl herself?

Kara grins at Brainy as she leans against the doorway, head tilted to one side, a coy smile gracing her pretty features. "I'd ask what you're up to, but really, we both know you'll spout off some long techno-boring explanation, and I'll stand here and nod my head, actually understanding what you're saying, but not so much caring about because really, I'm just here to see you and possibly flirt with you bug you and see what's going on." She pauses, thinks for a moment, and smiles. "So...what are you up to?"

[cabbage-butt.livejournal.com]

When last they spoke, she'd tended to his wounds from the Yeerk debacle and they'd have something of an argument, where he tried to dismiss her.

As such, he doesn't answer her at first, trying to figure out how to--how to deal with her.

Finally, he says, "I'll leave the 'techno-boring' explanation to your imagination."
