[At Speed Inc.]

*Thomas enters the building and greets Professor Rush*

Thomas: Hey, Professor Rush

Andres: Oh hey Thomas. What's up?
Thomas: Guess what? I just saw Professor watt yesterday, and he was riding on some kind of weird jetpack

Andres: What? You actually saw the Steelwing Jet?
Thomas: Steelwing jet?
Andres: Yeah, Charlie invented it by himself

Thomas: Wow

Andres: Tell me, does it work?
Thomas: It totally works!

Andres: So then, he did it! Wow! (Rushes over)

[Meanwhile, in Andres's office, seemingly possessed by Moler looks through the computer]

Charlie: Different chemicals gives me so many to choose from (Searches through the interest for some chemicals) This one will do (Selects his chemical) Access complete, now I'll make them pay for trying to steal my inventions

Andres: Hey Charlie!
Charlie: (Back to normal) Huh?! Wah?!

Andres: Congrats! So did you finish working on it yet?

Charlie: WHAT?! (Gets up)
Andres: Yeah, I was asking if you finish your invention yet?
Charlie: NO! (Hugs his invention) It's still hasn't finished yet, and I'm not even close! Anyways, I should go now! (Leaves the office with his invention)
Andres: Wait! Charlie!
Thomas: Hmm? What's up with him? He's been acting this since yesterday

Andres: It's okay, just go easy on him next time.

Thomas: Hm?
Andres: Charlie had a really bad experience at the last company where he worked. One of the experts there, stole a brilliant idea of his, and took all the credit for it

Thomas: Oh

Andres: No wonder he has a hard time trusting people after getting burned up like that. But still, I have no idea he could trust me, and I have no idea he can trust you too

Thomas: Yeah, that's what I thought. Well, if you excuse me, I gotta go now (Goes outside)
Andres: Okay, nice meeting with ya. I better go check on Charlie

[Outside, Thomas sees Pola and the others]

Thomas: Hmm? Pola?

Pola: Hey Thomas, ready to go?
Thomas: Huh?
Mitch: It's Christa

Thomas: Christa?

Mitch: Yeah, she got discharged from the hospital for no reason, and then she got sent back to the hospital for some rest

Thomas: What? So, when are they going to release her?
Mitch: Probably a few more days

Thomas: Alright then, I hope she gets better

Pola: Yeah me too, and after that I hope I can chat with her the next time she does a livestream

Jack: Yeah, me too

Desiree: Me three

[Meanwhile, Andres finds Charlie standing out the window]

Andres: Aww...come on Charlie, you don't have to be nervous. If you just put your invention on display, then your genius will finally be recognized, and you'll be the one to take the credit for yourself
