[Oh, hey, it's Babbage. And he's waving.]

I'm back! And bearing gifts! Not for everyone, sorry. I only have so much budget.

So, first order of business, I had fun at the movie festival. It was good all around. Managed to meet up with some old friends and handle old business. We're going to get together for a project in the near future, so I'm hoping everyone can keep the universe safe until then.

Timber Wolf: I found some crystal statues for the cub. They work as data crystals too, so that'll be useful as he ages up!

[The statues in question are about four inches high. Red, gold, green, and blue. No black, unfortunately. But they're all done up as Legionnaires. Some time went into that.]

Kid Quantum: A non-magnetic alarm clock!

[He just figured it'd be useful.]

Wash! I have a movie! Maybe you can show it at movie night if you like, it might be a bit too old for your tastes. I haven't seen it yet, but it's supposed to be a legendary feature!

And Cortana, Delta, Theta, I picked up something for us, too.

[The camera focuses back on Babbage and zooms out. He's wearing a... very brightly striped polo shirt. Blue with gold stripes. He's holding up three more, one sized for her and the other two in miniature for Delta and Theta.]

I was thinking that if we decided on a team theme, we could go with green and magenta thread for the letters. Green outline, magenta filling?

Everyone else, I got you some mugs! They play soothing jazz when filled with coffee. The hotter the coffee, the more soothing. The lower the liquid level gets, the more energetic the jazz! Or you can just use the controls in the handles, that works too.

What movie?

[hallaifyouherd]

I don't think I've ever had an enchanted cup before. Or...heard this particular type of music.

Does it fall silent when completely empty?

[rokketmann]

There's nothing wrong with a magnetic alarm clock.

[rushing_by]

...huh, sounds like something I might want to bring back for HR once this is all over.

[steelandtemper]

You shouldn't have.

[No, really.]

Team shirts!

[There aren't words for how exciting this is. He's never actually had clothing before - he doesn't get much in the way of gifts of any kind, really - but the fact that it's his takes second place to the fact that it's something that marks out that they're on a team together, a signifier like a uniform or a flag or- wow, he actually needs to get a body of his own so he can wear this.]

They look really good. Thanks!

Why would you make a mug that plays smooth jazz?

The mugs are great Babbage- and here's D.

[ York swings his Omnicom down to rest on the table for Delta to wave into the camera. ]

Thank you for the shirt. I will now have enough clothing to do a small load of laundry. [ What can he say, Babbage was right. There is something in the ritual that's soothing. ]
