JD Dreyfus was on his back... building something.
It was a great mass of wiring and unknown substances, JD always sending a surge of energy from his fingertips into it every so many minutes.
He hummed.
He hummed again, three notes, repeating.
After a few minutes of that, he banged the mass, and hummed again.
The banging seemed pointless, but suddenly, the machine hummed back!
JD grinned.
"That's more like it! I'll fix you yet. You'll be fantastic!"
The machine made a slow, whirring noise and half shut down.
JD scowled, then sighed, his face smoothing out.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Long ways to go yet. You can't even properly hear me, can you?"
The machine attempted to turn itself back on, but failed.
JD grimaced.
"Don't worry, my friend. I'll fix you."
He resumed working on the machine.
