Hiromi: *Staring in shock* "Wow, you weren't kidding in your call…"

Jun: *Equally befuddled and proud* "Told you. My sister is a genius."

Hiromi: "Well, yeah, I mean, I know that…but this is a new level even for her…"

The two observers stand in awe as the Kusanagi apartment is packed with hundreds of gadgets from floor to wall to ceiling. Numerous devices of varying degrees of quality and purpose cover every surface.

Motoko: *Barely notices them as she's welding circuitry inside some kind of futuristic EMP rifle in her room* "Oh hey guys, what's up?"

Hiromi: *Teasing voice* "...someone seems to be in an inventive mood…"

Motoko: "Oh choom, you have no idea! I guess I got carried away a little huh?"

Jun: *Picking up a blue grappling gun* "What even is this?"

Motoko: "Oh, that's my Tachiclaw. I can use it to reach high places super fast!"

Jun and Hiromi: *Internally cringing at the same time* "Tachiclaw…?"

Motoko: *Completely oblivious to their thoughts as she picks up steel ninja stars with a weird spider-like design* "And these are my Tachi-rangs which I can throw at gonks if I don't have time to reach for my gun…"

Jun and Hiromi: "..."

Motoko: "As this is my stealth Tachisuit, my Tachi-dartgun, my Motocomputer for intense calculations, my Tachiglider suit for when I have to fall in style, my Tachi-shark repellent for maritime emergencies, my upgraded Motocycle…"

Jun and Hiromi: "That's it, you lost naming privileges."

Motoko: *Shocked and dismayed* "What?! Why?!"

Hiromi: "Motoko, my bestest of chooms, there's no way in hell Section 9 will be doing gigs while calling your gear…those gonkish names…"

Motoko: *Peeved* "Fine! I'll just keep tinkering in my secret underground lair where I can call my babies whatever I want…"

Jun: *Curious* "Okay, I'll bite. What's your secret base?"

Motoko: *Grins evilly* "The Motocave!"

The prodigy inventor twists a nearby picture frame and suddenly a large segment of the living room wall slides upwards to reveal a secret high tech room with a fireman's pole. She presses her finger against a hidden scanner. Purple lasers track Motoko's body in a dizzying display.

Motocomputer AI: *Synthetic voice* "Scan complete. Welcome back creator-mother. The Motocave is ready for you."

A hatch slides open on the titanium floor around the Motopole and Motoko gleefully grabs the pipe to slide down to her lair.

Motoko: "See you later suckers!"

The living room wall segment slides back down seamlessly as if the secret entrance never existed. Jun wishes he could say he was surprised, but he really wasn't. Hiromi was slightly more fortunate in that she was still capable of being shocked by his genius sister.

Hiromi: "Wait…we're on the twenty-seventh floor! How the hell did she…How tHE FU-"
