Ted Kord has posed:
Ted Kord is looking over specs for a special project. Special indeed. One does not leave such things to chance. So he is on his computer, supervising the fabrication personally. Most three dee printers couldn't handle this, the high temperature materials, the diamond component. Eventually he seems satisfied with the result. this was result number 12 in fact.

"Bobo, please be a pal and get that... specimen for me. Don't let anyone see it. It's... proprietary. Okay? Thanks bud." Bots will keep their mouths shut... seeing as they can't talk. However, they can text. His screen gets a flurry of emojis from little Bailey.

"Ah shut up."

Booster Gold has posed:
"Whatcha dooooooooing?" asks Booster as he floats behind Ted's shoulder. For a man who usually barges in as loudly as possible, it is ironic that he somehow finds a way to be stealthy as the most inopportune times.

He peers at the screen and identifies the design. And for a man usually thick, this one is hard to miss.

"Ok, if that's not the focus of a new Ted Corp space laser, don't you think it should be made out of Legos?" He waggles his eyebrows.

Ted Kord has posed:
Ted Kord chalks it up to his distracted state of mind. Then he slams the monitor down. Then he realizes this is NOT his laptop as the monitor cracks. "Right... it's a laser focusing apparatus. Would you like me to explain the uses and how I refined the design for .02 percent more efficiency? I'm using a matrix of carbon nanotubes." He launches into a very nerdy version of mansplaining for Booster. He should buy it. His eyes should glaze over any...

His eyes aren't glazing over.

Ted follows the ABCs of planning, include an Alternate, Back up and Contingency. In the case of Booster, turn the conversation around to himself.

"How has that app of yours been doing? Busy busy busy!"

Booster Gold has posed:
"It's great. I met a fan. We made out in the park. I might give her a bit of a flight later, ifyouknowwhatimean."

Booster grins. "How you gonna do it, Buddy?" He gasps. "You want my help?? I've got a GREAT idea...I mean I'd be planning it to use myself someday and you're I'm not quite sure if you are cool enough to pull it off but worth a shot, right?"

Ted Kord has posed:
Ted Kord deadpans and says, "Do... what?" Goes to rest his elbow on the table and misses. Smooth Ted. At this point Bobo returns, peers around suspiciously for Skeets and goes to hand Ted a small package. Ted grabs for it. He's normally faster than Booster, even when there aren't bight shinies around but... this is a bright shiny and he was getting up from nearly flipping his chair. "Wait you made out, with a real person? A person not erased from history?"

Booster Gold has posed:
A sigh from Booster. "Ted. Listen. You know you can't get anything past me." He does not make an attempt to grab Ted's package.

"So stop pretending, and let's talk through how we are going to ask her the question. Ok?" He looks over at Bobo. "Is he going to be involved too?"
