Hey. Good afternoon everyone.

I need two things.

Specifically where you'd find good chinese food around here. Recommendations for that sort of thing, because my cooking skills are not as developed as I thought they were. Or if I had any skills in cooking at all, having to survive off lizards and shews and t-rex eggs probably have dulled my taste buds a little too much.

The other thing is that I'd really like to get access to fabrication technology, but since none of it exists here I'd have to build it myself.

Which brings me to asking for help. Building tech like that is doable and will ultimately lead the way to constructing more high tech parts that we can use for basically anything.

I'm looking for a few people interested in engineering, experienced or not. I can probably teach you.

Third thing, sorry. I also need to know if anyone's built a forge here.

Oh and fourth thing. Is there a working theory on the motivations of the people behind this prison program?

That's about it. Get back to me if you're interested. Should keep us busy if nothing else.

	[Is it? He just kinda gets the whole swarm thing, man. It's kinda freaky.] Sometimes the simplest answer is usually the best, doesn't always have to be complicated to work. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_{[ No, it is. And it was totally unfair - you can't expect a ship with grav requirements to go up against a bunch of tinier ships that don't have G-Force restrictions! ]} No, you're right, I'm just surprised. And a little unclear on why someone would use bees, I suppose. That seems complicated. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Or expect a human to easily survive a swarm of metal insects, each of which carry multiple lethal doses of venom.]

Think about it. Robot bees, sophisticated enough to be mistaken for the real thing, sent into a war zone? You could discretely assassinate, or bring down an entire city if you really wanted to. They were apparently being developed for military use, but Mercury Labs shut Larven down.

And she retaliated, so we had to stop her.

	That still seems like a lot of intense upkeep, and they would be so susceptible to environmental factors, wouldn't they? A single grain of sand in the cogs and it would go down, wouldn't it? _{[ Again, just - overly complicated. ]} Oh, jilted researcher? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	They were extremely sophisticated, granted I hadn't been able to see them in action in the field other than battling against them, but the numbers game really worked for them. There are so many, that eventually one of them would hit the target. I hear she modified them to be self replicating now. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Slightly more than jilted. Whatever adjective leads to psychotic. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	universal_charm 2017-05-23 07:27 am UTC (link)
	Of course she would. [ Why is it when you go up against someone crazy they just have to go all the extra steps? No one could get a break, it seemed. ] Well, I'm glad you stopped that. Humanity has enough problems without engineered killer bees. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pocket_sized 2017-05-23 07:37 am UTC (link)
	Or immortal psychopaths. Just to name a few of the crazy things I've seen. You should have seen that Zambesi dictator, or the Reverse Flash. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	universal_charm 2017-05-23 07:40 am UTC (link)
	I have no idea what either of those two things are, and you know what? I am okay with that. _{[ He chuckled softly. ]} I think Bones and the others would kill me if I started trying to stick my nose in that too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pocket_sized 2017-05-23 07:50 am UTC (link)
	That may be wise. Yeah, that would be interesting. Bones would lose his mind if he ended up in my city. Dammit Jim, he's a doctor, not a vigilante. [Sorry, not sorry, he can't help it.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	universal_charm 2017-05-24 06:51 am UTC (link)
	I don't know, he's got kind of a reputation now. _{[ He chuckled, because he could just imagine the noise Bones would make if he heard that proclamation. ]} (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Remind me? I forgot a few of the details. Probably obvious given my faux pas earlier regarding the Klingons. I know a few Klingon phrases yet can't remember that stuff about the tribbles. In my defense some of the information is kinda contradictory sometimes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	universal_charm 2017-05-24 07:18 am UTC (link)
	Hmm, that's all your getting this round without at least a beer. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pocket_sized 2017-05-25 08:15 am UTC (link)
	I'd take you up on that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	universal_charm 2017-05-29 05:40 am UTC (link)
	Well then, come get me when you're ready to pony up. (Reply to this) (Parent)
