The classroom today was a bit different. The desks were all paired off, and for each set there was a strange spinny thing, a small set of tools and a question sheet.

Glitch was at the front of the class, standing at a bit of a distance from the desk. It might want some space after last week.

"Today, you'll be taking apart those mini sterling engines , putting them back together, and filling out the worksheet. Don't worry too much about the questions and just answer them as best you can. Sorry, but, you'll have to work in teams for it because I didn't have enough to go around." He gave them an apologetic smile. "When you're finished, bring it and your answers to my desk and pick up one of these packets to go over."

He picked one up from the top of the pile before finally sitting at his desk. "I'll be here to answer any questions during and after class. I'll be in my office tomorrow, too, if you need anything then." He sat back a bit and started to read over the packet again to refresh his synapses if there were any questions.

"Huh," Anders said, craning his neck to get a different angle. "It doesn't actually look all that complicated inside, but frak me if I know what all that stuff is supposed to do."

"Like a piston, really," A.J. said, frowning because, yeah, he was still kind of trying to figure out how holding this still equaled it moving. Whatever it was, though, it was pretty freakin' sweet.

Anders leaned closer and sniffed at the opened base of the engine gingerly. "Doesn't smell like anything's burned in there, so I'm thinking it's a good thing we didn't bet on the heat versus oil question." He was kind of wishing he hadn't thought of holding his cigarette lighter to the bottom of it only after they'd opened it up.

A.J. smirked a bit. "It's always the ones I never bet on. Is that just it, then? Whatever this in here is just supersentitive to warmth and that's what gets it going? Feels a little of a let down after potential rodents."

"Well, like you said, heat is energy. Maybe it's got something that doesn't take a whole lot of heat to get boiling, or whatever, in it. If I thought I could possibly pull it off," Anders said, "I'd say we should rebuild it Fandom style and really do it with magical rodents."

"Air holes might be a construction problem," A.J. said, grinning. "Do we have magical rodents to use? What are the odds of snatching one of those radio squirrels, y'think?"
