Ryan has been chained to his table, possibly and indeed probably, of his own volition. He has a mountain of pcbs over there, a stack of finished enclosures over there, and his parts bins in front of him. He's split his consciousness and has a computer running a Let's Play of something involving dungeons and leveling up, at the same time he is listening to a mix tape of palm-muted madness, while simultaneously soldering for dear life.
Tanya comes down to Ryan's building dungeon every now and then to shovel pizza into him.
BAM!
Out walk another 10 Elements. But Ryan doesn't notice. He's too far in the solder zone to care any more.

(Sparrow, help me out on the meme front dude...)
