"Yup! I had a thing for gears in my early science days, no big deal," He gloated, rubbing his finger under his nose, unable to wipe that smile off his face.
"Alright then!" Astra practically giggled, stepping back with an extra pep in her step before grabbing the sample of Ironsand once more, putting it within the machine. "Tanaka, if you would?"
