The geezer laughed. "I didn't think I'd see you so soon, my friend. You really impress me."
"How so, sir?" Frank quickly asked.
The geezer sighed and pointed at Yancy, who was planning to scan him with her equipment. "I'm sure you'll soon understand what type of existence I am."
Frank smiled, shaking his head. "I would know even without her help. You're no spirit—just a form of energy given form."
The geezer's eyes lit up. "You really think so?"
Frank nodded. "I'm sure it has something to do with programming."
Seeing that the geezer had trouble understanding, Frank thought about it and explained, "It's like parrots. You can teach them to imitate you!"
The geezer smiled in turn. "That's more or less it! And as the owner of the spiritron vein, you're the only one in this world with the right to claim everything kept here, and I'm sure I'll be seeing you again before long."
With those words, the geezer disappeared from sight, leaving Frank with a ton of questions.
What? Did he just show up, spout a load of nonsense, and bail?!
No way! Should he not give Frank some key item or something?!
Despite his confusion, Frank did not dwell on the issue and headed to the surface.
Before he could ask Yancy anything, he noticed the look of confusion on her face too.
"Urgh. The geezer is taking after Jouri and her love for riddles."
Still, since they had no idea what the deal with the geezer was, Yancy furiously called Jouri, who answered instantly with a laugh. "I know how you're feeling—I was just as confused as you were.
"Everything he did is in preparation for you," Jouri replied. "In the near future, I'm sure Ms. Junek will have a breakthrough in her research. It's going to work."
Frank had the general gist just then.
It was with the power of the spiritron vein that he was able to activate the hologram that the geezer left behind.
However, development had not been smooth and was not fully acknowledged by the geezer as a success, which was why he wanted to keep trying.
With that in mind, Frank turned toward Yancy. "New research subjects for you, I guess!"
As he spoke, he dematerialized his hand to catch that energy and threw it directly into her lap.
Why the lab was seemingly strengthened, it also caused a fluctuation of electromagnetic signals, destroying several of Yancy's equipment.
