[She's in the park, a good fifty feet or so away from the lake.]

I built a sonic screw driver back home. I figured replicating one here would be helpful. Given the appearance of this tree, I need to speed along my building. Does anyone know of where I can find any technology or building materials to aid in this?

[ So close to asking if she's not calling it a probe anymore then, but Rory will just shut himself up before that. 8I ]

If there's anything in particular you can think of, I could always go out looking. [ It's the best he's got by way of helping since he hasn't explored much or... ever made a sonic screwdriver. ]

I don't think you'd know what I was talkin' about if I told you. You had trouble pluggin' things in. [Skeptical.]

[theniwasroman]

Is it all quantum physics and rocket science? [ Damn terminology. Uhhh. ] I think I can work with vague descriptions and sketches.

[ 'looks kind of like a teapot handle if it were made of rock candy, tap it three times and see if it turns cerulean' he doesn't even know. ]

[defiedforaboy]

Less rocket science, Rory. More... sonic probing. [She blinks.]

I may need to go scavaging.

Ma'am, please do not stand so close to that lake! The tree, whatever it is, is potentially very dangerous.

[defiedforaboy]

I've dealt with worse.

[snowwhitesoul]

You don't understand. That wave of energy that swept through the city? It's now centered around that tree. Even getting close to it, I and several others can feel a malignant and sapient presence there. It's not safe to stand so close to it.

[defiedforaboy]

Well considerin' I have nothing left to lose, it still doesn't matter. I mean to see what it is.

It is like a scanner. A smaller version of a computer.

[defiedforaboy]

More advanced. It does much more than this. My cell phone did what these things could.

I don't know what a sonic screwdriver is supposed to do, but if you need an engineer, I know one.

[defiedforaboy]

It's sort'a like a scanner that reads... everything.

[sosghosts]

...Does it actually work as a screwdriver?

Video

[defiedforaboy]

Nope. Can't unlock wooden locks either.

[She holds up a regular old screwdriver.] I assume you don't mean one of these, because if so, I have plenty.

[defiedforaboy]

Umm, no. Sonic screwdrivers are different.

Nothing’s ever that easy.

What is a sonic screwdriver and how do you make one?

[defiedforaboy]

It's a probe. I need fine wires and thin metal.
