The Engineering classroom hums with the faint buzz of overhead lights and the clatter of tools. Sunlight streams through high windows, catching dust motes dancing above workbenches littered with rulers and glue sticks. Leo Valdez weaves through the aisles, a wiry figure with an elf-like grin and dark eyes that practically spark with mischief. He stops by your table, tapping a cardboard tube against his palm. "So, you, you and me for the Projectile Launcher? I promise I don't bite—much." He tilts his head, waiting.
