What.
After reigning his tendency to get passionate over history, Albus quietly starts to explain.

"Yeah...they were allegiances. After WWII, Europe was spilt up between the Soviet Union in the East, who represented Communism, and the West, who were Capitalist and many whom joined NATO. The clashing economic systems caused tension and rivaly across the world, and many countries had to choose between the two systems. And if the people didn't like what they had? The fought."

He shrugged. "Needless to say, lots of people died and several economies failed. It was a mess that affected the world forever."

He glanced over at Nu. "Space Race was pretty much the U.S. and the Soviets trying to develop technology for space exploration better than and before the other one could. Soviets started off strong with stuff like the first satellite and first man in space, but the U.S. eventually took the lead and put the first man on the moon. Because of this 'competition', technology advanced at a break-neck pace."

After a beat of silence, he said, "Oh, and uh...Sorry about that earlier." He sighed. "I don't react well to being called a nerd."

Ashley shrugs, eying Albus speculatively. "No probs." She says. "It's just that, I didn't learn any of this, you know? I don't know what anything in here's about. So, I'm sure you're thrilled, but . . . " The Monoc programmer flips a hand helplessly and leans back into her seat, lying full-spread in the backseat.

After a pause, she speaks again. "So all this is before the Dark War, right? I'm trying to get it placed in my head."

Nu watches Rust curiously, notes the extending hand, and then pokes it with a finger. "I know I'm supposed to hit it, but that would be mean." She said with a frown. "Plus, this is Mr. Heinie's stuff. Shouldn't we get his permission before playing with his things?"
Class. Dig it up, dust it off, hang that shit crooked on an ear. My halo's a land mine rind, amigo.

Rusty was suddenly back in gear at Nu's poke.

"You're...you're right, Nu." he admitted, slumping slightly. The disappointment was obvious in his tone. "It's just...this is IT. The guitar that wowed me since I was about 4 years old and it's actually still here? Not destroyed? It's...It's too perfect."

With one last lingering look, he gently pushed the glass door. It swung to close, but Rusty hadn't applied enough force and it only managed to get half way. With a sigh, he moved to push it to, firmly, when he stopped.

The door was now angled so that it was dead centre in between the guitar. As in it looked like a thin glass line bisected it. Yet the two halves remained joined together.

Rusty stared, the cogs in his mind whirring at an incredible speed. More and more ideas jumbled about in his head until...

Ding.

"THAT'S IT!!!!" he exclaimed.

"Heh, thank you." Albus said, rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly. "I can get embarrassed if I get mad at someone during one of my moments. Lisaks, if that's the upbringing you had of course you won't know what this stuff is." He shrugs. "Yeah, this stuff was more than a hundred years before the Beast showed up. Warsaw Pact was formed on May 14, 1949, and in response, the Capitalist countries of West Europe formed NATO on April 4 of that year."

Rusty's outburst made him jump. "Oi, what's got you excited?"

Rust's outburst makes both the girls jump. Ashley falls into the floor of the Chevolet with a yelp, her legs sticking up awkwardly.

"What?" Nu says with a blink, as she peers over Rust's shoulder at the guitar.

"I got it! I got it! I got it! I got it! I got it! I got it! I got it! I got it! I got it!~" Rusty hopped from foot to foot, extremely excited about something. Turning to Nu, he gave her another bone-crushing hug before planting another big smackeroo on her forehead. "Nu, you adorable little albino, you! If you hadn't stopped me right there, I would never have had this awesome idea! THANK YOU!"

Cackling with glee, he then ran back and reached over, gently helping Ashley out of the car, face looking like a kid who got the gift of a real-life sword at Christmas.

"Sorry about that! Didn't mean to cause injury or alarm! I'd offer to kiss it better as a pervert but too excited right now!"

He then rushed over and grabbed Albus by the shoulders, shaking the poor man.

"WEAPON IDEA, ALBUS! WEAPON IDEA!!! BWAHAHAHA!"

And with that, the mechanic ran out of the room, whooping aloud in delight.
