[Surge was walking outside when he heard a ruckus in the parking lot. It sounded very mechanical. Like someone was putting together or taking apart a tank or a car or something. At this school, he wouldn't have been surprised.
That was when he saw Falcon. Hunched over... was that a motorcycle? Looked like it. The lieutenant strolled over, but stood back a little bit. He didn't want to interrupt Falcon's concentration. So he just stood there, watching the other man work for a few moments.]
[And quite a ruckus it is. Falcon is doing some pretty unmentionable things to that bike--both tires have been ripped off and there are parts everywhere.
Surge, however, does not go unnoticed. The Captain looks up very briefly.]
[Well, now that he's been noticed, there's no point in standing back anymore. Surge takes a few steps closer in order to inspect the bike. He lets out a low, impressed whistle.]
[Like everything else uses engines, dude. But Falcon figures he should probably explain, lest he sound like a wacko. He's fiddling with some wires and a strange cylinder-type device. He connects some wires and vwooooo the bike is now hovering.]

What are you going to replace them with?

[Welcome to the future, Surge.]

Oh wait, didn't Falcon drive some sort of crazy hover-car that went the speed of sound or something?]
Okay, let me rephrase that. How is it going to move instead? What sort of propulsion system is it going to use?

Sorry, I'm not up-to-date on any of those high-tech things. I still live in the age of vehicles with wheels that drive on pavement.
[There might've been a snarky grin.]

If you ask me, everyone should get with the times.
