Please try it again.

[Sound of the Active Device firing, then fading into the distance as whatever it hit is shot into the sky. A few seconds go by.]

I can see it again.

As can I.

[A thud as whatever the object was hits the ground.]

I thought you said you'd figured it out this time!

I merely said that I had refined my calculations. Apparently

May I ask what it is you are doing?

Huh? When did this thing turn on?

[Sound of the D-Comm being picked up]

Well when we went to pick up that turkey we ended up fighting a bunch of dumb robots, so I tried to recover 'em with the Active Device. What's supposed to happen is they get shot into space and turned into stars, but when I tried that they just fell back down after a while. Junk's trying to figure out what's going on, but I've been out here for an hour already and he ain't got it fixed yet. This is so borin'.

What are you using to gather the force needed to launch such things out of the gravitational field of the planet?

And how are you generating enough heat to turn then into stars?

Uh... Not a clue. Junk?

[Insert Junk's complicated explanation of how the Active Device uses gravity manipulation and alien technology that's centuries ahead of Earth technology to do what it does here, which I'm not even gonna try to write out.]
