[Brainy's eyes roll skyward, but he looks more amused than annoyed.]
The omnicom device you're speaking to me on? I made it. The flight ring you were given? I also made that. The threshold gates you'll be using to deploy on missions and travel to other planets? I invented them, and perform regular maintenance and calibrations on the threshold hub to ensure you aren't lost between dimensions in transit. The transuit you'll be wearing in hostile environmental conditions? I manufactured that and tested it for proper functionality so that the next time you're exposed to the vacuum of space, you won't suddenly find yourself sans oxygen or atmospheric pressure due to a defect.
Every single piece of vital equipment that will keep you alive will be made or maintained by me, most of the life-saving mechanical devices that provide a scientific solution to the team's problems will be invented by me, and if there's any means to override the quantum ties the Time Trapper uses to connect you displacees to this universe so that you can go home, chances are it will be discovered by me.
So if you're wondering what occupies so much of my time...
[He wobbles a finger around like he's going to point at something -- anything else -- but then points it straight at the screen. At Robbie. Boop.]
[He's smirking, though.]
I could have free time to do my own high-energy physics experiments but noooo. You all have to travel to locations beyond Legion World, and communicate across large distances, and breathe while in vacuum. Terribly inconvenient.
