"Can I help you?" asks a very busy looking man as he barely glances up from his keyboard. Then he looks again and takes in your computer watch and top-notch toolkit. "Those are the calling cards of a true gadgeteer, aren't they?" You nod, and he leaves the computer to come over and say hi. "Nice to meet you. James Isaac, at your service. Actually, I'm in the middle of some pretty intense coding at the moment. Still, if you'd like to have ol' Multivac here answer a question for you, my rates are cheap, for another member of the trade."
You can either pay for the computer's advice in chips, or pitch in for a couple of minutes to earn a few suggestions.
- Pay 20 chips
- Spend 2 minutes doing chores

Otherwise, a list of items is displayed. When you exchange items you get:
James takes the components and gives you something in return.
