She simply chuckled...
A couple of hours later... She and Thad came back, the former proudly carrying two dead gazelle over her shoulders.

Thad...didn't look so hot. He'd never handled a spear before and a couple hours of doing it made him just feel even more stupid. Empty arms but a lot of scuffed clothes. Abraham felt sorry for the kid. He simply didn't have anything he seemed to be able to do at all.

She sighed, helping over to the couch, and put down the dead gazelle on the table, "Okay, admittedly, that could've gone better... I'm sorry. I was only trying to help."

Thad frowned, still annoyed. "What's the point...I'm not going to learn how to hunt with a spear in two hours. I shouldn't be so mad but I'm already pissed at myself...I've got a head full of useless facts and half-baked ideas that I can't even make work right. I'm just a failure for this kind of work." Abraham went over to another chair and curled up. He'd like to comfort Thad, but right now...eeesh.

"Well, what do you THINK you can do?" Sekhmet asked. "Surely a young man of your skill and smarts could be able to do something."

"I could take them to court," said Thad flatly.

"That's... Not what I meant..." She said, flatly.

"You asked a question, I gave you an honest answer. My abilities lie in information, knowledge of the legal system. I know cars, I know firearms..." He looked dejectedly at the three-quarters finished prototype. "Though now I would not know enough about it, apparently. I have no athletic talents. I'm only moderately fast because I'm skinny and run around chasing my dogs half the time."

She paused... "Well... Let's start with what you know best. Why don't I run you through the modifications I made and how I made them?"

"I...suppose. I guess I should learn rather than complaining about what I don't know...that's not going to help."

She nodded, and got started... It took a good hour or two for them to do it, but over the long haul, Thad learned quite a lot from her in just that amount of time.

"Hrm, I see." He had pulled out his laptop and was taking notes. "...How do you even know about these yourself?" asked Thad, "I'm surprised that a Guardian like yourself would...well, why would ENIAC make you like this?"

"My brother Horus and I were give such knowledge as a means of being able to reverse-engineer and study weapons that could be a threat to this Digital World," she replied. "to counter threats such as the Digimon Emperor. Our purpose is to protect this world, and we have many means of doing so."

"...Hrm. Obviously Thoth will be given all the data that we brought, he seems to be the scientist..." Thad thought. "Could ENIAC give you the information? I would like to discuss things with you...including the purpose behind this Rod..." He pulled out the Angel Rod again. "The circumstances behind finding these things are suspect."

She chuckled, "Way ahead of you. Explain your reasoning, please."
