Barbara noticed that Brad had been very busy over the past few days.
First, he assembled a machine she couldn't understand. Then he spent every day at the computer, tapping away at the keyboard, apparently writing a program.
Since Batman had tacitly accepted Brad's decision to stay in Gotham, and Brad had not only cured her paralysis but also selflessly guided her through some novel technologies, Barbara naturally considered him one of their own.
So, during one of Brad's breaks, she simply asked him what he had been so busy with lately.

Brad had no intention of hiding it. If this weren't allowed, Doctor Manhattan would have stopped him back when he was assembling the receiver.
Receiving information rather than transmitting this universe's information outward was actually a way to enrich this universe's information density. Especially since Brad's fourth virus had been confiscated, Doctor Manhattan would naturally have learned about the concept of information density. He had no reason to reject something that benefited the Home Universe.
Barbara nodded in understanding, though she found it a little strange. She had thought Brad's original world had already been destroyed, but now it seemed the situation there was more complicated.

Barbara made her request, and Brad casually spread his hands, indicating she could go ahead.
The red-haired beauty didn't stand on ceremony. She sat down in the chair and began examining the logical framework Brad had written over the past few days, her brow furrowed.
Since it involved technology for breaking through the universe barrier, there were many parts Barbara couldn't understand.
But when it came to anchoring a signal to lock onto coordinates, Barbara
