[Gibson is in the library, a few collections of illustrated steampunk books open on a table from which he's idly sketching a few diagrams.]How many of you know anything about steam power ( Read more... )

I know Tony Stark had been working on something steam powered before he left.

bostrumite September 26 2011, 16:57:48 UTC

Did he leave anything useful behind, like his findings?

hulloeverything September 27 2011, 17:32:22 UTC

He did, indeed. There were loads of notes. He also completed a steam powered vehicle that's ready to be tested. I just haven't quite had the chance to do so... I don't know if anyone else has had the honors, yet, either.

Really? [He sounds delighted by this.] Well! I've just found someone who can drive [ draws a line] so maybe we can test it out? I can at least help test it inside the border, too.

hulloeverything September 30 2011, 04:11:38 UTC

That'd be brilliant! Normally I'd volunteer to do the driving, myself, but it may be easier to suss out any issues if I'm not otherwise occupied.

bostrumite September 30 2011, 04:20:04 UTC

Doesn't mean you can't get behind the wheel at least once. How else are you going to test out the adjustments?

hulloeverything September 30 2011, 04:23:06 UTC

As if I could pass up this chance. [He laughs. He's grinning like a kid on Christmas] But having multiple drivers wouldn't be a bad idea.

bostrumite September 30 2011, 04:24:34 UTC

It would also help on long journeys. Say you're going to be traveling for a couple of your days at a time. Isn't it better to switch off from time to time?

hulloeverything September 30 2011, 04:30:50 UTC

Oh, absolutely. It's not safe to drive tired, after all.

bostrumite September 30 2011, 04:41:44 UTC

Exactly. And getting stranded out where you have to walk back all that way? I'll pass.

hulloeverything September 30 2011, 06:18:10 UTC

That's why I never go anywhere without my TARDIS if I can help it. [he laughs]

bostrumite September 30 2011, 15:42:10 UTC

Well, and I never go anywhere without my lightcycle - but those are a little easier to carry with you than most User vehicles.

hulloeverything October 5 2011, 04:31:42 UTC

Your lightcycle? I'm afraid I'm not sure what that is.

bostrumite October 5 2011, 04:34:02 UTC

I'll just have to show you sometime then, won't I?

hulloeverything October 5 2011, 04:34:46 UTC

I'd like that very much, Gibson, thank you.

bostrumite October 5 2011, 04:35:54 UTC

Sure. I'll let you know when we take them out for a ride.
