If there are any other engineers or tech-savvy Drifters among us that aren't waterbound, Viktor and I won't dismiss the assistance with the generator. We're doing our best to get it running, or at least construct temporary vehicle augumentations to reinforce our defenses in the mean time. They'll be bare bones and have a short life span, but it's better than nothing. That being said, my current projects will be temporarily postponed until further notice. If I'm not working parts, I'm gathering wood, and I can only step outside at dusk.

[ or if he snows in the damn place but uhhhh no thank you! ]

Donnie and Danse, you'll hear back from me when your respective requests are finished. I haven't forgotten any of them.

In the meantime, if you come across any generator parts, bring them to us as soon as possible, please. Any remnants of metal, elements, chemicals or hands to help with the wood would be valued if you can find or offer— I'll trade my work for it, if you have the patience for a queue. I can do minor fixes where needed.

Any questions, you can ask them here or come to the forge. It's hard to miss.

[ it's the only lisa frank pick up for miles. the thing is hard to miss, especially when jayce is working the little cargo bed forge he's built over the last two months. characters are welcome to come visit directly while he's working at night; smoke signals and his hammer (hand sized, not the big one) pounds throughout the late hours, while he's asleep or within the convoy from sunrise to sunset. ]

Easy, sport.

More weapons don't always mean more saftey.

[guidemyway]

Okay.

Good point.

But have you considered that they might look cool?

[hexrot]

So you're saying it needs to be a weapon to look aesthetically pleasing.

[guidemyway]

Is there something wrong with that?

[hexrot]

Not wrong, no.

I'd just say shortsighted.

[guidemyway]

You know. One day people are going to see weapons for the awesome tools of justice that they are, and not as needless displays of oppressive force.

[hexrot]

You said it, not me.

I don't think they're needless. I do think they need the right wielders and reason.

[guidemyway]

I stand by it too!

That's true too. As a professional defender of the people against terrible monsters, I also see the point in that.

I'm definitely not saying we need to be armed to the teeth for no reason, or that fighting should even be our first option.

But being able to defend ourselves is important too.

[hexrot]

That's something we can agree on.

You're just really passionate.

[guidemyway]

So I have been told!

[hexrot]

I'm all ears on a few pointers.

We're running on a limited coal supply, though.

[guidemyway]

We should sit back and talk shop sometime then.

I'll keep an eye out for that. It's the black rocky stuff that kind of looks like Dust, right?

We didn't use that so much back where I'm from.

[hexrot]

You're better off looking for wood than the actual byproduct.

What did you use?

[guidemyway]

Good to know. Good to know.

So we had our kind of energy propellent called Dust. Usually came in crystal or powdered forms and all kinds of different colours.

We used it power just about everything we had back at home, along with enhancing our weapons.

[hexrot]

[ !!!!!! color the rock nerd intrigued. ]

You wouldn't happen to have a sample here, would you?

[guidemyway]

I might still have some in a spare ammo case when I first got here. Uf not I can check with my team and see if they have any.

It probably wont be much but it's something, right?

[hexrot]

It is— and sounds fascinating.

[ is it something he could replicate? questions for the masses. ]
