Alrighty. I hate admitting defeat. I really do.

There is almost nothing in the world I hate more than having to admit when I can't do something.

But here we are.

So here's where I ask all my mechanic/inventor friends if they'd like to help me on a cool, secret project.

How are you at literally creating things that don't exist yet here?

Alright. So... Barbara Gordon asked me if I could build an authentic X-Wing for her boyfriend, who flew one in his world.

Oh wow, that's a big project. I think we could do it.

Most of it's done. I was able to find things in this world that I could cobble together to mimic parts from that world.

Where I'm stuck is the engine block. I'm completely stuck on how to make the d'ast thing have everything it needs and still fit the right way into the body of the ship.

Because I promised someone is build them something and that's more important than my pride?

Yeah, I understood that part. That doesn't explain why someone that said that she hates admitting defeat would actually admit defeat.

Barbara Gordon asked me to build a spot-on replica of the X-Wing fighter her boyfriend flew in his world. Problem is, some of the tech used in those literally doesn't exist in this world, so I'm having to find ways to be creative.

Magnus is helping me with the shape and size of the engine block I need... but when we're done, interested in helping me figure out how to install shielding devices in a ship that was never meant to have them?

SWEEEEEEEET. I know you were clutch as hell when we were making shields for that Kree medical ship back home, so I figured if anyone can figuire out how to get shields in a d'ast X-Wing, it'd be you.

It shouldn't be that hard, not really.

I can see if I can get accesses to one of the ships from their world and work it out.

You know... I'm starting to realize why we pick on each other so much.

Because we're both so krutacking smart that if we got along 100% of the time? We'd probably rule the world.

A ship from another reality called an X-Wing fighter. A surprise gift to a pilot from his girlfriend. Should be a fun one for us to work on together!
