Pidge sets to work immediately, gathering the easy ones first. There are nine magnets set aside on the workbench, most of them obviously meant to be repurposed for other teleporters. She finds three more in the cabinet, four on a work cart against the wall, and one that's been used as an impromptu paperweight.
The rest she'll have to unscrew from the teleporters that were waiting their turn. Most of them will be easy: remove a circuit board, unscrew the nuts and bolts, cut a few cables...
As Pidge starts on the first one, she realizes that Dipper has not said a word the whole time. Yeah, they have to be kind of quiet but...that doesn't mean complete silence at all times, right?
And then, as she pulls out the second electromagnet from the base she's working on, she happens to catch his eye. Only for him to turn his gaze away from her in the next moment.
And she gets the feeling that the glance is...charged, somehow?

"...Dipper? You OK?"
