The door opens and...in comes a device which would normally be heavy or clunky by nature, but was supported by a hover-pallette so as to be light-weight and easily moved around for convenience sake. it is comprised of a business end with several triangulating-emitters in sort of a satellite dish pattern, a main bulk which...must contain the guts of the machine, and a console consisting of a standard row of buttons and lights...along with a device sticking out of it that conspicuously resembles a video game controller. The null in the exosuit pushes it clear of the doorway and looks over at the two of them.
"Here you are, boys. The updated deluxe version of the Containment Field Array."

Well. This is... not quite what Felix would have expected Enzo's father to look like. Then again, he supposes there's a lot he's never asked about sprites.
But this is probably not the best possible circumstance for finding out more. After blinking a few times, he manages to say, "Thank you, sir."
Felix is somewhat torn. On the one hand, it would be polite to offer to help move the equipment. But on the other, he'd have to either turn his back on the Stars, or else try to bring them along while he helps move unfamiliar equipment - and who knows how equipment from Enzo's world might react to their emissions?
In the end, he just (carefully, carefully) picks up the tray and follows.

"Okay, so one oughta be enough for these. Beyond that, I'm not sure yet what needs to be contained, or what can. I just want to be prepared."

There's the sound of something heavy dropping in the background the null extends a tiny pseudopod to perform a facepalm and shake his 'head'.

Enzo closes the vidwindow and returns to Milliways.
"He'll just be a nano."

The sooner the Stars are contained, the better.
"Do you still want the Door open, or will he be making his own way?"

This Array can be yours, if the price is right! Fortunately, Mike wasn't here for that.

Yyyup, the little green thing on top is nodding at him and the rest is mechanical, apparently. Sci~ence.

Sure, why not? Enclosed, out of the way, and it won't run up a lofty tab.

He looks around for an unoccupied one, then starts to manoeuvre the pallet.
