x_makerApparently Overfiend One has a subroutine designed to prevent, shall we say, interlopers of the feline persuasion from absconding with the fish it collects. As in, a rather comical compressed-air cannon system that I just witnessed sending a purple furball across the room. Apparently Dr. Wallace had nosy cats, too.
Dr. McCoy, are you sure I can't disassemble it even a little? I've got the documentation that Dr. Wallace provided and -
Wait. Noticed something. More on that later. If this is what I think it is, I won't have to disassemble anything at all...

And I bet it's got something in there to rinse the fish off before preparing . . . so it really does have everything and the kitchen sink.

#3. Unless you are the only person planning on using this stuff, helping other people be aware of how things work and interact is a good idea.
#4. If you ever want to make millions mass-producing your genius stuff, other people to know how to make it.

But yes, documentation. An apparently necessary chore.

No, wait. That was Jamie.

Catseye insists she wants a MiniSquid to chase, and it would certainly make swimming in the lake in summer that bit more exciting. (Of course, I don't have quite the same resources, materials-wise, that Wilbur does, but if you ask him nicely, I'm sure he'd let you have one or two of the more esoteric parts)

No, probably not. She'd probably just throw the nannites at us.
