As the captain asked for the EMP device, John just scribbled something on the sock and attached it to something inside the device. He sealed it up and responded.
"Just about done, cap'n, so feel free to pick 'er up from my room. Ye can't miss it, it looks like an old missile. I'll suit up in the meantime. Good luck, team."
Heading to the footlocker, John was loving what he saw. His precious toys had been given an upgrade. Of course, the first thing he did was play with the magnetic waistbelt, testing just how strong it is and how he could most conveniently store his tools.
Testing his suit for the extra strength the captain had mentioned, he indeed found his swings a little faster and a little lighter. The sword having an elongated handle was also pleasant to him, and he was more than eager to try it out.
Finding his CrowSword still untouched, John had to supress a wave of nostalgia, it was such a convenient thing, after all.
With a satisfied smile he went back to watch the scene unfold, glancing at his CrowSword, he smiled and mumbled "Don't worry, they'll see your worth one day."
