The CyberSquad wonders whether or not five cyber-fireflies, or gleamers, will be enough to power the Mini-Wreaker. By using the variable, B, to refer to a gleamer, they discover that a single gleamer provides six glows of power. Afterwards, they determine that, if they fill all five power slots with gleamers, they will have an output of 30 glows of power, which should be enough for the Mini-Wreaker.
