( if there's anything to be thankful for on this station, it's the fact that the tech isn't all that unfamiliar. the holotech reminds him of dick, though, which ... is another story for another time. he's still dealing with being alive and stranded in space with a bunch of strangers who are definitely not from his universe first. that, and science. science is always important. stay in school, kids. you might get to blow something up in chemistry.

anyway, he has a bit of a discovery, so he's here to share with the class, like any good scientist. )

Friends, aliens, stationeers, lend me your ears. Or, more importantly, your eyes. ( he holds up a small gun-shaped object. ) I'm not sure what to call this thing yet, but I'm thinking along the lines of Gloop Blaster, trademark pending. Watch closely.

( he aims it at a patch of wall that's seen better days, and when he pulls the trigger, a dark, gloopy liquid attaches itself to the metal. )

It looks kind of gross at first, I know, but just give it a few seconds. ( which is agonizing for a speedster, but he'll live. after a moment, the gloop begins to harden into something more solid and wally pokes at it to demonstrate. ) See? It was sort of liquidy before, but now it's hardened into something much sturdier. Hell, it almost blends in. ( but everything on this station is dark and grimy so that's not hard to do. )

Anyway, I ran some rudimentary tests on this stuff in the name of Science and because I had nothing better to do, and my best guess is it's some kind of rubber, but I can't be a hundred percent positive without better equipment. I can tell you for sure it's heat resistant and waterproof, and if you're a speedster, definitely don't get caught in this stuff. (Sorry, Tommy.) There are a few other tests I have yet to run, but my preliminary conclusion is this stuff is basically like caulk. Space caulk. If you need to use it for any reason, let me know. Sharing is caring.

( he waves, and that's the end of the feed. )

Excuse me-- what is a "speedster?" I've never heard that term before.

if it's anything like what I'm used to back home, it's some kind of silicone adhesive
sealant, in case of leaks

I found one of those, too. It was just jammed in my jumpsuit pocket when I woke up.

I thought it was actually a gun at first. That'd be crazy, right?

Seems like we're not the only ones to have found one of these. Maybe it's a common thing for people to have here?

I have met someone else with a similar device. ( he's not calling it a gloop blaster, okay )

Where did you find it?

Is that meant to imply you have tested it on a "speedster"?

I have one of those. I thought it'd be useful for sealing up anything that might leak atmosphere.
