Agent Cartwright never liked showing the alien bits to the kids right away. He thought it was a lot to take in. He kept quiet in the corner watching them talk to the spider queen ( not politically correct but who cared). Cartwright let Maxwell talk he let a small smile cross her lips. She was making the hard sell to the kids.

Yes show them the alien that will make them receptive. Show them the tech he told them. But Maxwell had her ideas.
