The Adventures Of The Boy Geniuses (Backdated to before the speed-dating)

[clockwork_doc]

Doc's excited about this. He hasn't been able to get to a junk shop in a long while. His old place for getting parts is a sadly distant memory at this point (plus, given he'd first heard about it in connection with Aubrey, he's not sure he could go back).
