"JM said that Radar knew that wounded were coming to the Slayer House before they even arrived," Xander explained.

Giles, seen through the videophone, took off his glasses and wiped them off. "Fascinating."

Xander waited a beat. "Fascinating? That's it?"

"I'm waiting for more information, Xander," said Giles. "Dr. Pierce, I'm guessing that this is more than a one-time occurrence?"

Hawkeye nodded. "Radar always knew when causalities were incoming, before any of the rest of us could hear the choppers. He always had all the right paperwork done before being ordered and what words his CO were about to say."

"I won the contest, right?" asked Xander.

"Contest?" Hawkeye repeated.

"There's a contest for who can recruit the most useful people into the Watchers Council and Seers are always useful."

"Nope." Xander's grin was cheeky. "Chopped Doc."

"Now Xander," said Giles. "We'll have to see the extent of Mr. O'Reilly's capabilities. Though he will very useful in organizing your Slayer House, which is always in a bit of disarray . . ."

"Hey!" Xander protested.

" . . . To be named the Most Useful, we'll have to test O'Reilly. See that he can See . . . useful things."

"How am I supposed to know that?" Radar asked, rather frustrated.

Hawkeye glanced from the picture in his hands to Xander. It was a very good question, in the doctor's opinion.

Xander was glaring at Giles' face magnified on the tele-conference screen. "I'm getting Phantom Menace flash-backs."

Giles flushed slightly. "Mr. O'Reilly, please just toss out a guess of what Hawkeye is looking at."

Radar threw up his hands. "Fine. A spaceship."

Hawkeye's eyebrows raised and he showed his friend the . . . spaceship.

"Very Phantom Menace like."

"Yes, well, no one could top Andrew in suggestions to test Mr. O'Reilly's abilities."
