Far more interested in learning new things than in wasting other people's money, Sam gets to work reading up on what he needs to know.

(What exactly is an omnitool and how do I get one?)

(It's a hyper tech tool that carries out procedures. EI it's a machine that casts magic.)

Tex grumps some when he finds the tiny memory drive with the programing. "I though they said we didn't need an omni tool to build this thing... those things creep me out how a machine going to muck around with reality like that..."

"Well, they didn't technically lie. We put it together without the omnitool, we just need it to run it. Misleading marketing, I guess."

He grumbled some shaking his head. "we still got one or two that Kingsington gave us." He comes back with one and hands it over after plugging in the program.

Senex Power Glove < level 4, quintessence 10>
*Is capable of running 5 minor procedures, 2 basic, or 1 complex.
*Capable of various scanning procedures using up to 2 in any sphere.
 These procedures can only gather information with the spheres they have.
*Is able to remotely content to various interfaces including the infosphere if available

Procedures Loaded:
Basic- Senex Scan Suite (built in don't count for limit)
Basic- Hydroponics Suite

They look something like this, only sleeker and usually not wrapping all the way around, and usually with a wire to a hard drive / power supply on the upper arm.

(sorry)

Sam puts it on and plays with it. "Oh man, this is the coolest!"

He gets to work with the instructions and program, figuring out how to use it to its full capacity.

The scanning procedure took some time to get use to it's various settings and menus. It was obviously ment to be used by trained professionals but aS am can figure its basics not how to read all the displays though, thankfully it dose have help files and legions that can be looked at later and the quantum computing is designed to learn to work with its user.... hypertech required at least a trinary code to run on and most had simple VIs now a days... this one could be set to respond to voice commands and would converse with you. It however was far far from an AI.

Getting the hydroponics program running looked like it would be much easier. Text however starts to fuss to stop playing with your new toy and help him work.

Sam glances up. "Huh? What? Oh. Oh yeah. I think that what I need to do is..."

He returns to setting up the plants as necessary.

While Sam didn't have much exspirance working with real plants, it wasn't that hard to do, and more work was spent hooking the equipment up.

(I thought this was the end of the scene, but it seems like you're waiting for me. Am I confused? What's goin' on here? Sorry if I'm holding things up.)

(oh my mistake I guess... just responding to what you were doing. IDK i think things are tied up untill people get back from vacation / distressing situations )

Is there anything you want to do with Sam before the others get back?

Nothing specific, really. Not much I can do with the quintessence now that the Forces expert is gone... unless...

Reshaping a piece of metal could easily be a Matter effect, but mundanely it's done through forging - heat and (somewhat) melting - and that's very closely tied with volcanoes (to the point of their name being tied to that of the Roman forge god Vulcan).

Does that mean dynamic(volcanic) quintessence could be useful for a metal item that changes shape? A bracelet that is also a screwdriver is also a hammer is also a knife... and so on.

Yah and dev uses forces too

Alright, what about something like this:

---

Ultimate Multitool (Ultitool)
3-point Wonder

This small artifact will often be found as a bracelet, necklace, or similar metal object when not in use, but it's hard to recognize, to say the least, due to its effect: changing shape (and even, temporarily, state) to the will of the activating mage. Need a hacksaw? No problem. A hammer? Done. An exact copy of this key here? Easy. An AX-497 6-pin jumper matrix? Just give it back when you're done.

---

Crafting: Dex+Crafts, 1 roll/hr, 30 successes necessary to form a metal seed out of various metals -> Allows enchantment in the first place
Purification: "Planting" the metal and "growing" it over the course of hours or days -> 1-3 difficulty reduction
Effect: Matter 3, Alter Form -> 3-point Wonder
Tass: Dynamic(Volcanic) -> Requires Prime 3 instead of Prime 4 (6 points total)
Enchantment: Arete, 1 roll/hr, difficulty 3(Prime) +4(Vulgar) -1(Focus) -(1-3)(Purification) -(1-3)(Research) = 4(Probably), 6 successes needed

You can get that as a plug and play procedure for the omni-tool... but having it as something like a bracelet around your wrist that people might miss is useful.

You don't have mind magic for it to react to, so you would have to use prime or magic to trigger it (unless you get a dot of mind)

You would be better of for now just doing it with your own magic.

If your making an item for yourself, it's best to do something that is hard for you to do, or something you would normaly do in a time sensitive situation... like combat.

You can only use magic one time per turn, you can however use magic and an artifact in the same turn. So when your down to turns that's when items that can do what you do normally come in the most handy.

Also there useful for paradox absorption when your working with something vulgar.

But ya something like that needs some way to 'comand' or control it, it's a little to complicated to just work with a just 'activate' putting energy into it.... if you did that there would be not telling what kinda tool you would get lol

okay never mind then

nothing else for Sam

Hum. It's a stretch so the difficulty would be higher but volcanic also is often acidic you could use life and mater for a sorta acid gun of sorts, would have to be careful with something like that but could have controls and dail it up to supernaturally strong (aliens move kinda strong) acid with prime infusion

Would come in handy but could be dangurous with out some safty measure

Long as it don't store up to much and mostly just produces it shouldn't be to much a problem though

Lol not like the morons that made the bale fire flamethrower that things as deadly to the guy wearing it as the people he's shorting at, but hey that's what mine controlling rondom people into him hen is all about

Balefire flame throwers btw, while rediculasly powerful are just as stupid to use

It is like having a immature and highly unstable nuclear reactor fueled by pure evil burning corruption and wearing it on you back

Not the best idea

Raven entered the ship, and attempted to find his way back to the room he had left his stuff in. His only real thought was about the good time he was about to have with the drugs he'd gotten from a God's realm.

As Raven approaches a doorway, a sharp tone sounds and, after some scuffling around, a brown, heavily scarred face pokes out the door.

"You don't look like a-" Sam glances down at the device on his wrist "-'plant matter of unknown type/origin, contamination unlikely, caution advised'."

He grins.

From the moment the sounds started to when Sam appeared, Raven had time to light a cigarette and had it held in one corner of his beak. He was slouched against a wall, but all four of his hands were lightly resting on a weapon each. He grinned back.

"Nope, not I. You're probably talking about sweet Mary Jane here."

The old bird patted a pouch.

"Picked her up while I was out and about, got a date with her a bit later."

The ex-Space Marine held out one non-talon ed hand, and dropped two others off weapons but left the last on an old railgun.

"Name's Raven. Pilot, mechanic, and a general pain in the ass to anyone I don't like. Who might you be, and how did you get on Luci?"

"Same way anyone does, I'd guess: she let me."

Sam looks Raven over appraisingly, then nods. "Nice.

"So I take it you're one of Luci's friends she was waiting for? Are you one of the ones that can talk to spirits? We have something around here somewhere I wanted your help with, if so. And hopefully I can help you with some things, too! If you let me study a sample of your..." He nods to the pouch, "I bet I can give you back at least as much." He smiles broadly and shakes the offered hand. "I'm Sam, by the way."

Raven scoffed as he listened to Sam.

"Luci's friend? Well, I crashed her into a space station, and she shot me in a cyber world, but I got her here safe and sound and she hasn't sucked me out an airlock yet. So yeah, I guess we're friends. To your second question, yes I can speak to spirits. I guess it wouldn't hurt to give you a hand with whatever. In fact I just got back from doing that, and as a result I got these drugs.

"As for giving you some, that I'm not so sure on. This isn't OG, this is it's great grand daddy. Have you even heard of Marijuana? Well, there was the normal stuff, then there was a former created during a war on Earth a very long time ago. Before even I was born, and I'might older than you think. I never thought I'd get any, but I met the guys who invented this super hash. To get to them, I had to free fall without a chute through a wall of spinning ice so sharp it sliced an environmental suit to shreds. And that, was just how my day started. So, as you might imagine, I'may just a touch protective of my stash. You sure you can reproduce it?"

"Not only am I nearly certain I'll be able to, I'm willing to attempt it with an amount small enough that it couldn't cause notable effects, given your mass. Actually, if you hang onto a bit for a while, I'd like to draw up some plans... if it's from that long ago, is it just a plant part, rather than a manufactured plant product? Because then there's a good chance I could just grow you a new one. Would'ja like that?"

Sam turns to a wall. "Hey, Luci, would you bring in that ID card for Raven to take a look at? And the datapad, if we had any more questions on that."

"Yes hold on."  After a moment a hole opened in the floor and table rose with what looked like a blank, plane white ID card on it. "It seams the busy little spider is almost done fixing it's software as well, so it will start it's search in a little less than two hours." which meant another 10 before it was done.... damn, if they could only convince it to be LESS thorough in it's search.
