[Hank is huddled over his worktable, playing with a small camera.]
I've always been something of a tinker, even since I was a child. [He gives the lens a momentary smirk.] But you'll know this already, you've seen it.
Even with having some sort of block this past month, wondering if I was doing something wrong when all the pieces seemed like they were in place. I know that because I checked, double-checked, ran diagnostics, tried alternatives. Took the every prototype apart and rebuilt it numerous times, trying my best to isolate and work out any kinks.
And even then, we never detected a single Skrull until they revealed themselves. But see, there was still one thing I'd never gotten to tinkering with. Funnily enough, the first thing I noticed when I returned.
[He points to the camera.] I keep this remote camera for Network interface when I prefer to work hands-free. It shorted out while I was gone, and I hadn't had time to repair it. Doing so would require familiarizing myself with the circuitry of the new communicators, in order to copy it.
So, tell me. How many of you had your communicators in Times Square last night? [He holds up a small silicone tube to the camera, almost buried in his large fingers.] And who can tell me what this is?

D'you have that little thingy figured out yet? [ of course, he sounds a little bit hopeless. ] New developments?
action.
Well, I had to put my communicator back together in a hurry. [He gets a tray, and places the module on top, handing it over to Madison.] Tell me what you can get out of this.
action.
Outside of the casing itself, it's all kinda fog-o'-warry. It might be still be inhibiting me from sensing what's inside it, but [ he shrugs, handing it back. ] it's probably a kind of unconventional mechanism, either way. Wish I could be of more help, McCoy.
action.
[He sets the tray down on the table, then turns back to him.] You'll want to get the one in your own comm. Will your powers allow it, or will it need to be done manually?
action.
Ahh, I guess I'll need a screwdriver. I hate these things.
action.
Well, I guess we have our answer. Not to mention an explanation of why none of our other resident technopaths were capable of locating them earlier, or sorting out our Network issues earlier this month.
