Proton pack on his back, black rubber gloves safely pulled on, Ray pushes the back door of Milliways open and strides out in search of devil bunnies. "I could, of course, test this on one of the rocks for you," he says, "but I don't think that'd have the same sort of effect you're looking for. Unless you routinely use your energy weapons for renovation and urban clearance, that is."

Nodding, Ray yanks the goggles down. They'll be recording their own scans of the energies involved in any case. The gadget, now- that's... hm. Interesting set of energy readouts- oooh, that looked like the ionization rate there, albeit not as precisely measured as on the PKE meter-

But there are other things to watch. He wants to see this. And oh, is it ever worth it...

He jams the PDA into one of his pockets- he's got enough of them- and applauds. Honestly, he's never been so proud of his creation in his life.

Silence returns, and K holds his stance for a moment, feeling the proton pack wind down smooth as a silk (by *his* standards, anyway).

He lowers the thrower to his side, lifts the shades, and takes a bow.

Then he strides over to Ray, grabs his hand in a hearty handshake and claps him on the shoulder.

"Genius, kid!! Pure genius!"

Ray beams, just absolutely beams, and shakes back. "Thank you, sir!" he answers. "I can't claim full credit for the design, of course- the actual accelerator was my colleague Dr. Spengler's design- but the rest of it's my work. Glad it meets with your approval. It's the best we could do with purely Earth-based tech as of late 2002."

"Beats the hell out of my 2002 Earth-based tech, Ray, I'll tell you what. Might have some Off-World tech for you to check out some time, though."

"But this," K touches the proton pack almost lovingly. "This is something special."

He slides it off his back and hands it gently over to Ray. "An honor I won't forget."

That devil bunny won't be forgetting it either...

Ray accepts the pack back and slides it on; it's just easier to carry that way. "Glad to be of service," he says with a smile. "Any time."
