"Well, I can't exactly do that, since it is on loan. My dad had some connections. But it can open up its shell to show the inner workings. It's a function programmed inside to allow mechanics to do on the spot maintenance. Magic Eye, if you will, please."

"Of course, ma'am."

One side of the shell slid open revealing a host of electronics inside, most of which were more advanced derivatives of their 21st century counterparts. Fortunately, the parts were labelled for maintenance. A series of cylinders on the bottom were part of the anti-gravitational device. Although, it was partly obscured, one could make out the bottom of the solar cells that were on the top used to gather energy for its power. Many other devices were strewn throughout the body, besides an optic fiber computer. Some of which were sensors EMily had mentioned earlier. The computer itself was a black box, the shape of a Rubik's Cube.

A lot of what the was inside bot was over Homer's head, so he just tried to find things he was vaguely familiar with.

"Do you guys have computers where you're from? Electronic ones? I can tell this is completely alien to you by the expression on your face."

"Well, a computer's job is to do thousands or millions of calculations in a short manner of time. They can store information, be given instructions, and can move around information to analyze it. The first ones ever were the size of buildings, and they were quite simple. But they quickly reduced in size as the technology progressed. Quite fascinating really.

"Big help that is." The creature groaned to themselves upon hearing Robin's reply. The creature began to nervously adjust it's blind-fold, muttering inaudibly and occasionally nodding to itself all the while.

"Aw, you're no fun." Topaz complained, still seeming to contemplate petting the snakes for a while. Eventually, he realized conversation was going on.

"Oh, we probably all just got teleported to another planet. As for how that happened without a warp pad while we were all in different places... eh, beats me." Topaz said with a shrug.

The creature seemed to have forgotten about the existence of anyone else near them for a moment, as they jumped and yelped a bit when others began speaking to her. "Whaddya mean? Ahm a person, same as anyone else here." It replied to Jane with irritation. Running a hand through its scalp, it added, "Ah jus' happen ta have snakes instead'a hair is all..."

"It's not mah fault they don't like it when folks touch 'em. That's all on them." It said to Topaz. More snakes than average seemed focused on keeping tabs on Topaz. Her face twisted into a mask of confusion as she heard Topaz explain his take on the situation. "Ah... don't rightly know what ya'll jus' said thar."

"Glad we came to an understandin' then." The creature replied to Jane, it not being entirely clear if she was being sarcastic, or was sincere and didn't understand sarcasm herself.
It had a tinge of annoyance in its face as it said to Topaz, "It's kinda important I figure out what's goin' on here though."

"But what's really IMPORTANT, anyway? Topaz replied to Sybylla, dramatically gesturing to the sky as he talked. "Maybe you're destined to be here, and leave whatever life you left behind forever. Or maybe what's really important is to take a shower or something, I dunno."

The creature lowered its head and muttered to itself for a moment before answering Jane with, "I-It's so ah don't... well... [sub]kill folks on accident...[/sub]"
The creature appeared confused by Topaz once again. "Whaddya mean 'leave whatever life ya left behind forever'? An' whut's a 'show-wer'?"

Robin was also about to ask what a shower was, but looked at Syb when she explained the reason for her blindfold. "What?"
