*Quint warps back, backpack in hand, and a metool by one foot. He quickly pulls a small portable computer from the backpack and looks through the files for the scan he'd made of Quick just before they'd gone to catch Air when he was under the control of that chip.*

*He finds it soon enough and works on copying the file to the Predacon computer. Luckily, the problem of setting up an interface between alien technologies had already been solved previous to this*

*The Predacon decrypts the alien data format into something it understands, as the CR grating lowers Quick into the nanite-suspension liquid*

*The CR scans Quick again, running a comparison between the scans. Then, since Quint set the CR to manual, it lists the differences - what it's default setting would assume as damage.*

*It also has a second list of things it suspects are remaining damage in the first scan. And, of course, there is the usual way to tell the CR about damage that it was unable to recognize*

*it waits to be told what to repair*

((One of the things it might list as suspected 'damage' in the first scan could be the DWN marking, since Quint did figure out enough to have the CR remove the RKN marking he had.))

*Elec nods* Those explanations are always awkward. I'd guess we'd be more used to them than you are though, because of the Gallery.

((Would have replied sooner, but I got no post reply notice.))

*softly* Thanks. Elec, the reason it's so awkward really for Flash is that he won't know about him. At all.

*Air approaches the computer, getting up on one of the chairs Quint had moved so that he can actually reach the computer. He looks at it nervously, a bit uneasy with the technology. He's used to just figuring out whats wrong and fixing it manually. Air winces a little as he sees what the big part of the problem was.* Quick might not have deactivated from the damage directly, from the way this looks. He wouldn't have been able to move like this. He might have even deactivated himself to look like he was completely gone.

*Quint looks worried at that, wondering if that would mean anything similar to locking up due to breaking the Laws.*

((Yeah, e-mail notification is being naughty again))

Why does that sound like bad news? *Elec asks, sounding concerned. It's not like they'd have any of the overrides for things like that, like Dr. Wily would.*

[terrorsaur]

You think that even if he's repaired he might not think it's safe and keep shutting himself off? *Terrorsaur hazards a guess*

[rmmayhem]

*sighs* Nah, it's not that serious. As long as he knows that he can move again when he's reactivated, he shouldn't shut himself off. A couple of internal parts that majorly influence movement were destroyed by Flash's weapon.

*Air's words sound somewhat confident, but there is the little key word in the second sentence. Shouldn't. Air's really never repaired Quick in a situation like this, where, for all Quick knows on being reactivated, he could be in Wind's hands.*

*looking over the rest* Not too bad otherwise. A little bit here and there. *pauses, before asking, a bit puzzled at something* Why would it consider the DWN marking damage?

[feathers_in_wax]

*Elec looks puzzled at that as well. The markings weren't damage.*

*Quint looks embarrassed for a moment, fidgeting slightly* Um, I think maybe the computer remembers that because I figured out enough to tell it to remove mine. I was on a Little League team part of the summer and I really didn't want anyone asking why I had a weird tattoo.
