"Here it is. The digitizer." Beat. "And matterizer. And some other things. Maybe it needs a better name."

"'Open the crashing door'," Enzo replies.
The door is duly opened and two cadets, both a year or two Enzo's junior, jostle for space above the opening. The boy is lanky and pseudo-Caucasian, with long red hair; the girl is shorter and stockier, red-skinned with a shock of black hair.
"That's our VIP?" she asks, while the boy simultaneously blurts out, "That's a User?" The girl thwaps him on the back of the head.

"Soon," says Joseph. "Hugh took a while to get here, he's still setting up."
Enzo nods. "You'll be hiding out in here 'til we're ready," he tells Guppy. "Don't want to spoil your big entrance."

Something about Enzo's smile suggests that this last point may be crucial.

"I'll try my best."
