Armed weaponry & Biomech class : Build your own Robot
*Otacon casually resting on the teacher's desk. Samus (Jeff) is sitting behind him*
Hello everyone!
I'm Dr. Hal Emmerich, but I'd rather you all call me Otacon. Ms. Aran has asked me to help her with classes today since I happen to be very knowledgeable about this particular subject. *waves at Samus! Jeff* This will actually combine both of her classes and will be a bit longer! I hope no one minds. I think you'll like what I have in store...
*Pushes a box in plain view that had been hidden behind the teacher's desk* Natasha is going to kill us once she finds I used our money for this and a private suite.
Has anyone seen the anime, Mobile Suit Gundam? *pushes glasses up his nose* It's a bit old, but rather enjoyable. Unlike its super robot cousins, Gundam attempted realism in robot design and weaponry, as well as the thematic and ethical roles of the robots themselves. In a way, it influenced me and what I do with my life today, so I thought it would be fitting for me to share this passion with you.
Today you'll all be building your own robots!
*Takes out his own model:*
This is what we'll all be building. Don't worry, I picked the easiest garage kit models I could find. I should note that these Gundams ACTUALLY WORK once you're done with them. However, I regret to say that this model does not have the flamethrowers, since they've been banned from the market. *sighs sadly*
We'll be working a few things into your Gundam:
The Minovsky Ultracompact Fusion Reactor:
The Minovsky particles are produced as a byproduct of the helium-3 fusion reaction were recycled to keep that reaction going. The Minovsky particles that form the I-field lattice also help catalyze the fusion reaction.
Active Mass Balance Auto-Control (AMBAC):
Fundamental technology that allows for thrusterless manoeuvring in the zero-G environment of space by mobile suits by means of precise movement control of their limbs. That's right, your Gundam will be able to fly, short distances!
Beam Rifle:
This device stores Minovsky particles in a high-energy pre-compressed state, so that only a small amount of additional energy is required to trigger their fusion into mega-particles. It uses the energy core to fire tiny lasers from it's gun. These are actually pretty harmless as I wouldn't want anyone to get hurt right? *laughs* Just don't point them at a friend's eye.
You'll have to be very careful when building them, since they all have the Minovsky mini-nuclear reaction kit in them, and it comes with some plutonium. If you have questions about the physics or helium-3 fusion reactions, don't be afraid to ask me!
Miss Aran shall be taking attendance and then I can hand each of you a kit so you can start building these! I'll also be playing some anime episodes on the projector screen, so you can have an idea of what your little robots can do! Just remember, it will be on a much smaller scale, and it won't involve space travel. Sadly.
