Re: Chapter 2 - Sam Davis

"Whew! Alrighty, sounds good. I've been starting to learn to make dram, actually, so eventually hopefully I can help with that, but there's no way I'll be able to make that much quickly! Eventually, though, hopefully I can help there. I'll be back pretty soon!"

Sam grins and waves and heads out. He definitely tries to find someone to help him with nutrition analysis, since he doesn't trust his minimal knowledge thereof.

Re: Chapter 2 - Sam Davis

Sam makes small talk with Tex as they go, trying to put him more at ease.

Re: Chapter 2 - Sam Davis

Tex isn't much of one for small talk. "Your kind may have caved in gave us basic rites but truth is none of you see us more than something some one cooked up in there basement."

Re: Chapter 2 - Sam Davis

"Aw, Tex..." Sam hesitates, "I grew up in a weird place, and I haven't been out in the larger world all that long, but it's been long enough to see what you're talking about. But where I grew up, we had plenty of reason to be aware that how something looked or what it was made of didn't necessarily dictate what it was or what it did...
I'm rambling. My point is that as far as I'm concerned you and Luci are people worth just as much as anyone else. But your stance is absolutely justified, based on what you've probably seen and experienced - even just based on the little I've seen - and if you'd rather not interact with me past business, I totally understand."


I'm super bad at social interaction, so my characters' attempts at it tend to be a bit stilted even when they're theoretically really good at it like Sam, so a roll might be called for here... Charisma+Empathy, maybe? I don't know. Basically I'm just saying I'm aware I suck at this stuff but that shouldn't mean Sam does :P

Re: Chapter 2 - Sam Davis

He grumps some as they walk. "I guess but your on- HEY back off" he says pulling a gun rather unexpectedly quickly in front of you on a man about to bump into you, the hum of the magnetic rings clear to both of them and it made the guy back off raising his hands and moving on his way. He growled some under his breath putting the gun away, "your one person."

That was fast, he must practice a doing a quick-draw you generally don't get that quick otherwise. The hum was a little to noisy too for a rail gun, if all four guns are the same (and they look to be) looks like he's packing quad plasma guns... rather large barreled custom built ones for handguns.

Nice quickdraw, there. And nice guns. Where'd you get 'em?"

He pulled out the gun holding it, twirling it a little. "Oh, got them made at Padma. If you know where to look there some people that make some wild stuff there. When you live with over grown plants and dinosaurs for neighbors, people start packing bug guns." He smiles some "You like guns?"

Re: Chapter 2 - Sam Davis

"A bit, yeah. I like any sort of well-crafted thing, really, but it's impressive how much power those... exude. Especially given their size. You know, I recently grabbed some, ah, magical energy that would probably resonate really well with those. Not sure what all would be involved, but do you want me to look into options?"

He awkwardly moves the hover trolly they need down a poorly sized stairs for it. "eh, thats ok, they work just fine as is." He was leading you off the 'safe' green marked routs. "I can't wait to get back to Venus, get some good real meat with out having to pay an arm and a leg for an arm and a leg" he chuckles some.

Re: Chapter 2 - Sam Davis

The shop was dirty and a little crowded for any store she was use to back home, but it had the crops her people traded for, fresher then she had ever seen in her life.

Re: Chapter 2 - Sam Davis

That place was like a dozen grand central stations in one cavern, there was so many people and so much cargo going back and forth between Hades and the valley farms that for a small town girl it was enugh to give a case of agoraphobia.

So returning to lucy was a nice change of pace, and they had gotten some good deals. They had gotten some rather basic hydroponics set ups, they were just the devices needed and no frame to hold them. This made the case for a grade deal of machines very small and the price cheep. There was the raw material for sell, and a program for a omni-tool capable of mater manipulation, but with Sams skill set it wasn't really needed was it?

They saved quite a bit on passing on those and just sticking to the bare bones and schismatics for the dimensions for the frames and the composite make up of the materials needed.

"I suggest you create just create large chunks of each of these materials first, then worry about what shape they are. Once you got them then you can putt them in a more proper shape, after that you can start making each piece as it's needed. It will be lot easier if you do that first than just trying to build them one at time from scratch."

"Sounds good," Sam says, grinning excitedly. "This is gonna be so cool."

She takes her time, making sure to get them just right, singing quietly even when not using magic.

Re: Chapter 2 - Sam Davis

Sam had some trouble willing the raw materials into existence, Lucy was a Thalamavor and they were inside her.... but once she got the quintessence flowing she was able to get the material massed up in less than two hours... it was hard work but there was large clumps of metal everywhere.

She cut metal crops into scrap and pats, and loved building things... instructions on shaping and building a frame fora buch of racks was childs play.  It barely took a glance over it to get the measurements down, then it was easy shaping the metal.. it didn't even take a half hour to shape all the parts.... and only an hour or so to put the frames to geather.  And while the clumps of metal she called into being had plant like qualities she managed to suppress them in the frames.

Tex was clearly impressed as he dug through the crate. "Wow, your really good at this." He smiled some walking to one of the frames a part in each hand, and started installing them.

Sam hums happily as he goes around, checking all the pieces and smoothing them out as necessary.

Re: Chapter 2 - Sam Davis

Tex hands you some of the parts and keeps installing the rest. "I hope you know how these work, or some one is going to have to sit down with the instructions for a while. Scratch that... I just hope you can make heads or tails out of the instillation files on the central unit that runs all these racks, because it might as well been in Swahili when I looked it over..."

Well hydroponics units were some advance science, destined to sustain plants on minimum and recycled resources, most of them included some hyper tech in the central units.

"Well, uh... I'll see what I can do."

Sam tries to combine his magical knowledge of plants, his magical awareness of the devices, and his rudimentary knowledge of science to try to comprehend how the whole system works.

Re: Chapter 2 - Sam Davis

Sam had to admit, it was a bit complicated... she couldn't quite grasp it, close to, but couldn't. She would be able to hook it all up though, just it would take some study to understand how it worked. There ways it circumvented the normal food chain and returned nutrition to the soils by braking down the waist products the plants left in the soil that normally decrees the quality of the soil for that kind of plan, requiring crop rotation. Through some mix of primal, life, and mater magics it broke these down and rearranged them as nutrients the plants needed. This required checks on the plants and recalibration, so she would defiantly have to read up on it. That or try and talk them into shelling out some more credits to replace the scanning program with a higher grade one that made the calibrations for you.

Still, to make the checks she would need an omnitool to install the program.
