Tim knew he wasn't meant to have seen the device his father had brought home to work on. The distraction and excitement was clear in his manner. Working in the basement lab, the facilities were more limited.
For Tim, a treasure trove his father encouraged him to work with... Unaware that he'd been observed, he wanted Tim to have his own projects, and inspirations. He encouraged Tim's curiosity and drive to tinker. Seeing the same spark of insight and intelligence he recognised from his own youth.

Walter took his tinkering as far as he could with the limited facilities. Readying it for the final test, on campus with his full range of equipment.
