[video] RE: The Labs
[Here's that green guy Kid Quantum had introduced. Apparently, he has more to say himself about what he specifically has to offer them. His expression is almost long-suffering, as if he's annoyed at yet one more interruption to his work. Or maybe it's their sheer existence that bothers him -- because now he has to worry about safely getting them home.]
My name is Brainiac 5. Kid Quantum has elected to inform me that I should make it clear that you can avail yourself of certain resources on the ship.
To that end, I want to apprise you all of the fact that you are welcome in my -- [he pauses and inhales deeply through his nose, as if the next words are very hard to say] -- in the Science Labs if you're technologically inclined and would like a space to work on whatever projects you want to...fiddle around with.
Those who are not technologically-inclined should steer clear because there is very delicate and vital equipment that could potentially decohere every molecule in your bodies until you're a fine atmospheric mist.
[And on that pleasant note...]
For those of you that come from such primitive worlds that you don't know what a molecule is because no one's developed a body of knowledge on particle physics -- and for those of you that can't seem to manage the very basic motor functions of turning a vidscreen on -- I will be offering regular lessons on basic scientific principles and on pushing buttons in sequential order.
For those of you that are engineers, I will also be providing tutoring on how to engineer and manipulate technology in this era in a way that's actually effectual.
[He doesn't really seem to be trying to be offensive. There's definitely no malice in how he says these things. But offensiveness is just kind of just happening anyway.]
As the UP government is currently suffering from a surplus of incompetence at the moment, I will be the primary individual responsible for the research and development of technologies that can possibly get you home or to the dimension of your choosing. If any of you have particular expertise in the many sciences that are involved in interdimensional travel and quantum tethering, please contact me so that we can collaborate.
That is all.
[Charming, isn't he?]

[He's not quite sure how his home's technology would be described in this era's terms, so he has to think for a moment.]
Way behind yours, that's for sure. We're still mostly reliant on fossil fuels, but they're beginning to fall out of favor and be replaced by more eco-friendly power. Electric lights and cars are ubiquitous in my corner of the world, and so is the internet. Cell phones too.
My school is really on the cutting edge of technology, though. I've got friends working with magnetic levitation technology, plasma lasers, and all kinds of crazy chemistry stuff that I still don't fully get. My big project is a personal healthcare companion robot, and my genius little brother is working on microbots that people can control with their minds.
[He's proud of his friends and he's proud of what he's done with Baymax, but he is so proud of Hiro finally getting his head out of botfighting and into inventing stuff. So freaking proud is almost makes up for how much it hurts to not know how he's doing right now.]

[Somewhat disappointing, as he was hoping Tadashi might be from a time of more advanced technology, but the fact he went to a "nerd" school is promising. It seems he has something in common with the inventors of the past like the scientists of SHIELD and Doc Magnus.]
Well, you needn't worry. If you're someone with an interest in inventing and innovating you shouldn't find your time's primitive understanding of the sciences to be that much of a hurdle. I should be able to help you catch up.

[Tadashi presses his lips together a moment, looking a bit wistful. He shakes it off.]
I look forward to playing catch-up, then. And again, thanks for taking the time to teach us.

[He said it in a way that suggested he wasn't always used to being thanked. His friends never thanked him for doing his job -- they gave him positive reinforcement other ways.]
