Meanwhile, elsewhere in the galaxy...
Me: "Tech, I need one of Crosshair's toothpicks, please."
Tech: "Why?"
Me: "It's for science."
Crosshair: "Why are you asking him and not me?"
Me: "Because you'd say no if I asked you and I know Tech knows where they are."
Crosshair: begins to protest until Tech just hands me a toothpick
Me: "Thank you!" proceeds to open oven and check that the cake baking in there is done with the toothpick
"Wrecker, Omega, Echo, the cake's done!"
Wrecker, Omega, and Echo from a distance: "Woohoo!"
Tech, straightening his goggles: "That is not for science."
Me: "Yes, it is, I needed to ensure the chemical reactions worked."
Crosshair: "Do I get cake?"
