PANEL 1: We see a young boy sitting in the middle of the living room, surrounded by pieces of shrapnel. He's holding a hammer and looks like a deer caught in headlights upon Nathan walking in. The boy bears a striking resemblance to Nathan, having brown skin and brown hair. His hair is much curlier than Nathan's, though. The boy also has many freckles, unlike Nathan. He's wearing brown overalls and a short-sleeved yellow flannel shirt, as well as yellow sneakers. He also has hearing aids and a wearable artificial graphene throat. PANEL 2: Nathan smiles, astounded. NATHAN: Joey? PANEL 3: Joey smiles, nervous. JOEY: Yeah? All of Joey's speech bubbles are styled with a little lightning bolt for a tail. PANEL 3: Nathan points to the mess. Joey looks away sheepishly. NATHAN: What, uh...what're you up to there? JOEY: Uh...I'm experimenting? NATHAN: I can see that. PANEL 4: We see the toaster, which has multiple random nails and screws driven into it. It's in pretty bad shape. NATHAN: Is that the toaster? JOEY: The old one, yeah. NATHAN: ...Wow. JOEY, with emphasis: Yeah. PANEL 5: Nathan smiles, still flabbergast but a little endeared to his nephew's antics. NATHAN: Well...Hey! Props for trying! But...why??? PANEL 6: Joey clenches his fists together, looking up at Nathan in determination. JOEY: You know why! I have to find out what my Spec is!
