Kestra walked in with Corrie, catching the tail end of the conversation. "And it didn't help taht a couple of times you backed into me, and I almost went down. Grabbing scrap's fine, Wayne, but please be mindful of what you're around or what you're doing," she said.

"I'm sorry guys... but you'll be happy to know I won't need to be grabbing any more parts for a while, and when I do I won't be on any of your way! Not after putting the finishing touches on it!" Wayne said excitedly yet vaguely.

"Wayne. Sweetie, what are you doing?" Kestra asked. In the last few weeks, she'd taken the Green Ranger under her wing as a "little brother", so her concern was a little high.

"I'll explain when we get to the base." The Green Ranger explained excitedly to the yellow Counterpart.

"Ummmm... we're all already here, man." Paul pointed out Kestra and Corrie who recently walked in. "And I hope whatever you have cooking involves you dedicating more time to sharpen your fighting skills."

"He's not even thinking straight he's been dying to show you." A5 said not enthusiastic whatsoever as Wayne wheeled in something covered in a blanket. He added the last few pieces before unveiling his latest creation. "That's where you're wrong Paul, I won't ever need to fight ever again!"  "I present the Adapt0r! My latest and greatest creation to date!" Wayne was wall smiles as he revealed a bulk human sized robot, it's head tilted down and eyes lifeless as Wayne hadn't turned it on yet he grinned waiting for questions. |

Kestra looked at the robot, raising an eyebrow. "Wayne, honey. Why did you build a robot? And what do you mean that you wont' have to fight again?" she asked. "Do I need to knock some sense into your head?"

Wayne grinned. I've been recording you all. You battle strategies, tendencies, strengths, weaknesses, you name it it's on film thanks to A5, I've uploaded the data into the Adapt0r. Creating the best fighter in the group. And get this it can help all of you improve your skills too to sharpen them! More importantly he can handle the sticky situations that normally I would slow you down in. See obviously I'm better off being the guy behind the scenes. This way we all get what we want. Drago is as good as toast now!" Wayne beamed excitedly.
A5 sighed looking at the others concern on her digital face as Wayne spoke hyper.

"I dunno...." Paul expressed apprehension about this new bot. "Game tape is cool and all, but the most growth comes through experience. Putting so much faith in technology is typically when shit goes wrong." Paul sat down, not wanting to sound mean, but he didn't see the value of the Adapt0r in the field with them.

"Think about it this way, imagine all 4 of you on the field but as one, there's no room for error watch A5." He turned to the AI before pressing some buttons as a piece of her code then went into Adapt0r as lights began to turn on and it lifted its head looking at everyone, Adapt0r began to take several steps forward before speaking.
"Hello Rangers... I am Adapt0r, I look forward to working with you all." The robot said everything so politely.
"He can show you better than he can tell you, wait until the next mission then you'll all see!' Wayne said excitedly as A5 looked to him.
"Wayne perhaps we should-" The AI started.
"It's fine! Just you wait!" He said excited to show it's capabilities.

Corrie folded her arm staying quiet and her eye brows shot up when Adaptor came up. "Whoa." She said with a slight shrug. "We shall see indeed." She said looking back and forth between Wayne and the Adaptor.

"Adaptor... is it just me or am I getting JARVIS vibes?" Lenny said, looking at the team.

"JARVIS never kept Iron Man out of the field." Paul said, not to argue with Lenny but to drive home his point, especially with Wayne seemingly intent on battling less.

A5 sat on Wayne's shoulder as Wayne was all smiles at his latest creation as Wayne Continued to answer questions. "Guys you aren't seeing the big picture, we'll be able to clear more missions and factories or warehouses or enemies with Adapt0r. Wayne beamed excited for his bot to prove itself. "Then I can dedicate time to helping the team the right way!"

While Wayne was busy showing off his pride and jot, the scene on Capitol Hill wasn't nearly as joyous. Director Finley had been called in for testimony regarding Project Nitro Blaze, the details of which were now made public thanks to the spectacle in London and the destruction of Birmingham Palace. Finley had been trying to explain that the Rangers went rogue, but it reflected even more poorly on the CIA, given that Amy and SPD lost control of the powers and the zords. When the grilling was finally over, Director Finley made his way to the CIA offices in Washington, slamming the door behind him out of frustration.
"Mother fuckers!" Finley set up a video call, contacting Brooklyn who was still in Synchro City. "Turner! Where are we on regaining the stolen tech or better yet, where are we on apprehending that team of criminals?"
"Sir." Brooklyn cleared his throat. "Amy almost has the tracking software back up and running and we have 24/7 monitoring. We'll find them soon."
"You better. Those suits on the hill are out for blood after your pet project nearly started World War 3. If I go down for this, I'll make it my personal mission to burn SPD to the ground on my way out." Finley said angrily, threatening to shut SPD down. "Get it done." He finished before ending the call.
Brooklyn sighed, realizing that they were in deeper shit. He walked down to the lab, walking towards Amy who was at her desk.
"I take it you saw Finley on Capital Hill." Brooklyn said.
"Yeah. They really dug in his ass." Amy responded.
"And he in turn dug in mine." Brooklyn sat down in the chair in front of Amy's desk. "He's gonna shut us down if we don't wrap this up soon. Where are we on bringing them in?"
"Actually.... tracking is almost set. Then we can keep constant eyes on them. It's gonna take more time than we have with the neuro bombs."
"What about the other shit? If we can't remote into those zords, we'll need..."
"Yeah. It's ready. We're just doing some final tests."
"Cool. Keep me posted. And hurry." Brooklyn felt his phone buzzing and took it out of his pocket. When he saw who it was, he abruptly rushed out of the lab, leaving Amy somewhat puzzled.
