The Freeky Geeky Files: The Grand Screen Reveal
Pandora: "RJ, what in the blazes are you doing? We have orders pending. And you're creating distractions? Hanging a new screen? For procrastination and wasting even more time, I presume?"
RJ: "Distraction? This isn't distraction, Pandora, it's... strategic display enhancement! I've had this screen for ages. And besides, we took a vote! Three against two, so we won!"
Glitch: "Screen! Screen! WOO-HOO! It's so big! Are we watching cartoons? Or giant exploding robots?! It's like the cinema! But in the shop!"
Pandora: "Oh, that vote. (Her voice sharpens) You mean you got Mopes to grudgingly agree because you spun it as 'getting a large, dust-collecting sheet out of the TARDIS cabinet for a bit of cleanliness,' didn't you? Very persuasive."
Phobos: (Twitches, eyes wide, from a shadowed corner) "The PVC frame! A terrible idea! It almost fell over five times trying to hang it! And you were stubborn, RJ! You did it yourself! And you almost fell off the ladder trying to fix it from falling apart while hanging it! Catastrophic failure was imminent!"
RJ: (Sighs, rubbing temples) "Details, Phobos, details. Nobody got hurt. Mostly."
Pandora: "So, RJ, after all that... all the procrastination, the dubious voting, the near-death experiences... was it worth it?"
RJ & Glitch: (Both mesmerized by the screen)
RJ: (A wide, contented grin spreads across his face, his voice filled with genuine delight.) "Oh, completely. Look at that screen space!"
Glitch: (Bouncing, totally absorbed by the giant image.) "Totally worth it! WOO-HOO! Bigger ghosts! Bigger explosions! It's so clear!"
RJ: (He looks around the busy workshop, then directly at the audience, a sly smile.) "So yeah, sometimes the chaos pays off in unexpected ways. And sometimes, it just gives you a really big screen to watch movies on. Don't tell Pandora, but my productivity just got a serious visual upgrade. Now, if you'll excuse me, I think I hear the kettle calling for more popcorn."
