 ==== Project: Magnets 'n' Junk ====
-Task force S.P.A.R.T.A.N has been given some much-needed downtime. Your team goes for a walk around town in order to get to know some members of the community and find the best coffee in town. As you are strolling around town, you hear a holler. "Aya!!! Hey, howdy!! Come check out this ol' piece of junk I got right here, y'all!" It's Dr. Daryn McPaddel, the town inventor/engineer who is always showing her neighbors' strange contraptions that she has made, and also happens to live adjacent to Lakeview's scrapyard, which allows her to tinker and invent to her heart's delight. This is what you see:

-As you observe Dr. McPaddel's magnetic crane-thing at work you notice that there are a bunch of kids on a field trip in the scrap yard. This seems like an odd place for a field trip but then again nobody can really leave the town so there might not be a load of options. The teacher with the field trip, identifying you from all your work around town approaches you and says: "Hey, you know about electricity and magnets and whatnot, can you explain what's going on?" You agree to explain in detail how the thing works since you are concerned what crazy old Dr. Daryn McPaddel will say. The best way would probably be with a visual, and Dr. McPaddel has already created a visual of the coil of wire inside the contraption. All that's left to do is show what the magnetic field looks like.
