I took that into consideration. Spock brought over a portable replicator which was modified to interact with the Mr. Fusion unit to provide on-the-fly atomic realignment of the C5 fiberglass atoms to stainless steel and then immediately back to fiberglass. It worked just long enough for the flux dispersal to work and then it went back to stock. He used some parts out of his communicator to modify the circuits. Live long and prosper! He did mention not to ever allow myself to meet my earlier me as universe-ending paradoxes would ensue should that occur. On a side note, he showed me how to mind-meld with the EBCM should mine ever fail and it would self-repair.

This thread is too funny. Lol. Here I am wasting my money on a LS3 and a cam when all I needed was stickers. Silly me. What happened to the OP?
