Lab Rats, Season 3, Episode 7: Scramble the Orbs. 07:26 - 09:34 aka THE MOST DOMESTIC SCENE TO EVER EXIST AND I NEED MORE OF THEM

the scene starting with Adam practicing his line to Tasha

then Donald comes in and Tasha reminds him about Adams play

then Chase comes in and tells them about his new stupid app to which they all respond no

then Adam asks Donald to help him practise his line and follows him out

THEN leo comes in and Tasha tells him off because she got a call from the school

it's probably the closest we get to a normal scene in the Davenport household with all but one member of the family involved and AHHHH I LOVE THEM AND NEED MORE OF THEM

[sharklighter]

Decided to post my idea of some the heroes from Mighty Med. The woman in the grey Background is Timeline (Daughter of the original), purple background is Lady Spectrum, yellow background is Bubble Man, blue bg is The Great Defender, and orange bg is Spotlight. They are my little gay trauma bonded babies.

[sharklighter]

I've rarely seen a more validating sentence in my entire life.

[sharklighter]

always crying at the shot of Donald looking at Adam, Bree and Chase's capsules after finding out they ran away in no going back

LIKE THOSE ARE HIS KIDS AND THEYRE GONE😭😭😭

[sharklighter]

sometimes I remember the people from my comfort show are like fully adults now and I get really sad.

Then I see them doing stupid stuff and get less sad.

marcus davenport

[sharklighter]

thinking a lot about gender in relation to marcus davenport...

[sharklighter]

honestly, this is probably the least outlandish part of marcus's design

my collection of Marcus' design thoughts. when I was working out design features for my rewrite, I looked at the Atlas by Boston Dynamics.

-hydraulics give to most of the strength, and require constant replacement of the fluid (ethylene glycol.) He has a fluid tank which takes up the majority of the chest cavity, and then the "heart" pushes around the fluid. Fluid is replaced one pump at a time.

-He is a near replica of a human, just built out of metal (aluminum, titanium, and some steel.) Means he's got a lot of movable joints. There are several hydraulic presses in each joint. Since there are several per joint, the joint can still move while one press is having the fluid replaced. Ergo, fluid is almost always being replaced.

--His heart runs on passive power. (Stuff that happens even if he is charging or otherwise not moving or consciously doing it.) His heart makes more of a whoosh sound than an actual beat. Like when a person has a murmur.

-He uses both cameras (eyes) and vibration based methods to "see." Like a dolphin or some other animal that is less awful

-His skin is made of a collagen and silicone mesh. Human like, folds the same, tears about the same. Worse at insulating. Good for Marcus, bad for people.

-I could not manage to math out how much he can actually lift, because that was all based on Adam, and I couldn't figure that out either. See Bree post for speed relatives.

-He weighs just under 400 pounds. (181 kg)

-He has six cooling fans, nearly constantly running. Drain a lotttt of power. He coughs to clear out the dust and other debris. Literally coughs up clouds. He laughs so hard he inhales dust and has to cough it back up.

--Also passive

-He is an AI system. Originally for just lab help, then given a body and bionics. He adapted more to Douglas' sarcasm and adopted his mannerisms, as AI tend to do. He's still learning. He doesn't have emotions so much as he knows cause-effect. This action makes humans feel this way, so he will also feel this way. It is the only thing he can not get around in his coding, and the only thing that Giselle could not code out. So if he can't get rid of them or ignore them, maybe they are feelings? Idk

-His AI takes a lot of power, and a lot to cool. Ethylene glycol is a very efficient coolant. Even with all his cooling stuff, he's still running at human-would-be-dead temps. (Chase can't tell because Marcus messes with Chase's external temperature sensors.)

-His battery would last about a week without charging, given that he goes through normal activities and uses his bionics like usual. Without using bionics, his battery could probably last two to four weeks. Bionics are very power heavy. Running on minimal things, as in turning off hydraulic replacement and just running a few fans and shutting down other non-essential systems, he could survive years without recharging. Douglas gives him a new battery every year, as it corrodes very quickly. He charges mostly wirelessly, but he does have several charging ports.

-Bionics are all copy-coded onto separate chips, which are in a little box. If he takes it out, he does not have the bionics (think flash drive with pictures). He does not have Daniel's bionics, but Daniel can copy all the bionics Marcus has, even with the separate chips.

-He is not self-healing in Douglas' era, but is in Giselle's.

-He can collapse in on himself like a little paper bag. His internal stuff folds up and his skeleton retracts on itself like cat's claws. Can't last more than a few seconds.

-His joints bend way further than a human's. Knees behind the ears, hips in a full circle, etc.

made something

[sharklighter]

he turns into one of those cube things from arcane memes

marcus couldve been the guy ever but he was powerful they had to kill him three times

[sharklighter]

self-explanatory

[sharklighter]

[sharklighter]

oh man he must have small organs then. so i searched up pufferfish and how they work is that they suck in a huge amount of water. so is it that marcus's body is just mostly water/fluid/air and that's how he can fold up :') ??

also what does he fold up into?? a cube?? what is the purpose of this (fitting through tight spaces maybe?)

WAIT I NEVER SAW THIS BEFORE AYYYYYYYYYY I LOVE IT

im cackling i found this low res picture on the wiki and i can't stop laughing idk why

[sharklighter]

Marcus concept I've had for a while:

A common problem with electronics is that they overheat. Marcus especially, being a highly advanced genAI (those generate heat like crazyyy) encased in a metal-and-silicone shell and capable of moving at hundreds of miles per hour, would need all sorts of cooling measures. Modern electronics deal with this problem in a variety of ways: coolant, fans, thermal paste, heat sinks, etc.

However, fans (and electronics in general) produce a lot of noise, and Marcus doesn't have a lot of areas open to the air where he could let off heat. So how does Marcus regulate temperature? My headcanon is that Marcus' "breathing" acts as a cooling system, carrying hot air outside while bringing in cool air and also helping cover the sound of his electrical components. He probably has a liquid cooling system as well, comprised of coolant (which is mostly water) and antifreeze. I've seen the headcanon that his coolant is red so when he's hurt he "bleeds".

What this means: instead of not breathing, Marcus' oddity is that he's ALWAYS breathing. Sometimes very quickly, but always steadily (unless the temperature is low). When he gets too hot, he probably shuts off to cool down, but he keeps breathing. He probably breathes while recharging as well. He needs regular water/antifreeze refills (insert my headcanon that he has a habit of consuming non-edible objects, lol). If he has a coolant system, then he probably has a pressure valve release as well, which will pop off and release a lot of steam if he gets too hot.
