True to his word, Allen has diagnostic exams ready for the taking. A stack of personal screens from the media lab sits next to his work table in the Engineering department, all programmed with tests. Long ones, since they're diagnostic, not cumulative.

One of them is, in fact, programmed with Superboy's name on it. Because Allen is a smartass like that.

"You know Stace, it would be nice if I could have a sign for the door. 'Open Call for Students-slash-Teachers,' something like that," he says, as he roots through the engineering department, looking for just such a thing to make a sign with.

"It's not going to be quite like what you're used to, but it'll be more like pen and paper than what you're working with now."

Allen takes the omnicom and lays it on a work table, then reaches up to a shelf and pulls out a small device that looks like a second omnicom screen. There's an instrument like a writing stick attached to it by a cord - something like a bone on a dry tentacle.

"Think of this as paper," he says, holding up the screen, "and this as a pen. I'm going to connect this device to what you've already got, so that you can write your messages by hand instead of having to type them out."
