The O'Connors and Jimmy are at the Stark Expo, thanks to Aaron and Jimmy's insistence.

They took their seats in the pavilion.

Some jazz music started playing as Justin Hammer danced his way into the middle of the stage and most of the audience applauded.

Jimmy: (whispers) Yikes. Thank God he didn't pursue a dancing career.

Hammer: Yeah!

Hammer walked to the podium.

Hammer: That's what I'm talking about! Thanks for coming! Ladies and gentlemen, for far too long, this country has had to place its brave men and women in harm's way. But then the Iron Man arrived, and we thought the days of losing lives were behind us. Sadly, that technology was kept out of reach.

Brian: (whispers) And for good reason.

Mia: Shh.

Hammer: That's not fair. That's not right. And it's just too bad.

Aaron: (groans) Oh, give me a break.

Hammer: Regardless, it was an impressive innovation, one that grabbed headlines the world over. Well, today, my friends, the press is faced with quite a different problem: They are about to run out of ink.

Nobody laughed at Hammer's poor attempt of a joke, but a few people applauded. A couple of people came from backstage and took the podium away.

Hammer: (mumbles) Get that out of here. (clears his throat) Ladies and gentlemen, today I present to you the new face of the United States military. The Hammer drone!

Patriotic music started playing as a row of drones emerged from the stage.

Hammer: Army!

Another row of drones emerged
