"Hope you all had fun in Greece," Miguel said. "Some of us were off saving worlds to cheer up our friends. So this week - a memory scanner!" He showed them the requisite movie scene. "You should be able to give it a time, put on the helmet, and have it show your memories. Then show me something fun you did last week. If you didn't do anything fun, why the shock not?"

Demonstrate your machine!

Consider it the highest-tech version of "what I did on my break" ever.

Well, going back only as far as last week didn't sound too bad, at least, and Astrid, biting her lip, managed to show off just a lot of Astrid sitting in various spots around Greece, drawing things, which was fair, because that was pretty much all she did the whole time, so maybe it wasn't so bad.

Miguel watched for a few minutes. "You do art, too?"

And Astrid was going to give her teacher a bit of a confused look, because she felt that art was pretty much all she did in this class. Way more art than science, anyway, by her estimation.

"I...dabble," she said.

She was also a master of understatement, that one.

Miguel shrugged. "Cool."

Hey, science was science. He wasn't an art guy, but he could appreciate it.
