10th Fix

[Phone: filtered from NPCs:]Hey, guys! Just wanted to let ya'll know that the forge in my yard has been ready to go. It ain't much, but it does the trick. Not too bad for a guy who's never even seen one outside of a Renaissance Fair if I do say so myself! Thing is, I've never built anythin' like swords or whatever before. Computers and

Can you make clank parts as well?

[techno_mancer]

Good question. I mean, can we modify some of the steel I have? Or do ya need to melt 'em down completely and use molds or whatever?

[ergaleomancer]

Mostly, I need springs, actually. If you can make springs and gears, then modifying things to make the casings will be very simple.

[techno_mancer]

Think ya can help me make some molds, then? I bet we can at least make some gears. Springs sounds tougher, but I'll work on it.

[ergaleomancer]

With springs, it's just a matter of getting the metal thin enough and shaped. I don't have the physical ability to do it myself, but I can stay with you and [[annoy the everliving daylights out of you]] offer you advice.

[techno_mancer]

Yeah, you're right about that. I dunno if I can do it, but I bet we can find someone who does.

[ergaleomancer]

If we can find someone, I can start producing proper clanks.

[techno_mancer]

We gotta try. I wanna see you make one of 'em!

[ergaleomancer]

Well, I'd certainly like to, as well. I miss Carry-It, and making a similar clank would be lovely.

[techno_mancer]

Yeah? What's it do, exactly?

[ergaleomancer]

Carry-It? Why, precisely what it sounds like. It's a carrying clank.

[techno_mancer]

Refresh my memory - are they entirely magically powered, or do you use some sort of power source?

[ergaleomancer]

They're clockworks. I can use steam power, but I don't think it's practical here.

[techno_mancer]

Sadly no, classy as it is. What's your opinion on car batteries?

[ergaleomancer]

[[Shudder. Hate.]]

I tolerated using them precisely once...

[techno_mancer]

They're out best bet, really. I figure we can practically farm 'em like I've been doin' with the bumpers. It's pretty much a never-endin' supply.
