Who: Anyone
Where: Outside of the angerdome
When: Day 148, noon
What:

[Scattered around the roof of Hydra are several crude tools made of bone, leather and stone and a few papers with rather technical designs on it. Claude's handiwork, for any staring at them, might be recognizable and lays largely untouched, however, in the margins, on the back, on several adjoining sheets are designs on implementing THOSE plans. Equations, materials, notes on experiments and results... all scattered throughout the pages in several handwritings and more than one language.

This obviously hasn't been an overnight project, nor anywhere near completed either...

However, what may have grabbed your attention is the groan of wood as they crank back the catapult for another test.]

... That might be the limit.. adjust the tension or just wait until we can really mess with the angle?

	Really? ... I think I'd like that. If it's not too much trouble. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Puts a few of the first designs in front of Albert] This is the arm, and the base... ah the base looks different because we have different means of rotation planned out... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Looking at them intently for a bit, as if trying to make sense of them] ... Huh. What're you planning to do with the base, then? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	be_my_chum 2010-07-15 12:42 am UTC (link)
	We need a way to get it to rotate! It's got the power, but not the maneuverability. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	assumedposition 2010-07-15 12:44 am UTC (link)
	So... what's wrong with the plans that're written on here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	be_my_chum 2010-07-15 01:00 am UTC (link)
	Ahahaha... materials. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	assumedposition 2010-07-15 01:00 am UTC (link)
	In what sense? We don't have them? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	be_my_chum 2010-07-15 01:15 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, if we had another source of wood or even alloys this would be so much easier. [Hang on, volunteering to get launched~] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	assumedposition 2010-07-15 01:16 am UTC (link)
	... [Listening to the launching conversation] You can't be serious. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	be_my_chum 2010-07-15 01:21 am UTC (link)
	Why wouldn't I be? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	assumedposition 2010-07-15 01:22 am UTC (link)
	... Never mind. You'd know best, I guess. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	be_my_chum 2010-07-15 01:38 am UTC (link)
	Oh no, I'm pretty sure this is the worst possible idea. [This does not seem to dampen his cheer at ALL.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	assumedposition 2010-07-15 07:03 am UTC (link)
	... You're going to do it anyway, aren't you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	be_my_chum 2010-07-15 09:29 pm UTC (link)
	Absolutely am. We both agree it would be amazing. (Reply to this) (Parent)
