Junior had assuredly impressed numerous juries with his brilliant cybertronic developments. However Junior's enhanced insights stemmed beyond the realm of computer technology. At the end of his sixth grade of traditional schooling, Junior published an article exposing a corrupt bureaucratic monster society underlying the education system. Like a seasoned professional, Junior’s dissertation provided irrefutable evidence the schools gifted programs selections were based solely on genetic specifications and nepotistic fiduciaries. Shortly thereafter, a retraction was published in the local papers stating that the article was written by a delusional uncle who, since incarcerated, had signed the boy's name in is madness. Junior quietly dropped out of school and was never celebrated publicly again. Following a few years of miniscule fraud and street hooliganism, Junior found work in a small repair shop downtown. The Old Man encountered Junior’s craftsmanship while investigating a violated hard drive. Interested by the criminals peculiar invasion the Old Man tracked Junior down. Following a trail of mischievous computer corruptions he found Junior at a local cyber cafe and offered him work, room and food in exchange for his talents.

He took the Old Man’s job at the repair shop and has been there developing his secret sciences ever since.
