Zob was just getting done suiting up to work when he heard Jonesy speak up behind him, "Yep... Unless i am called into action but that is the standard protocol" he shrugs as he closed the locker and turned to face Jonesy, "Things have been pretty tense as of late so will see how much we can get done with the time allotted to us"

  The Foreman Gathered  the Crew  and Zob together,Alight?..  we gonna  set up  the  Cauldrons to On either side of the Plate Lines?.. the  Cauldron to the    right?,  ,#1..is   arleady   full of  soup.... the One On the  Left, #2  is about ready?..now?... we got a Tellow  light  in the offcie today..that means   an action might be coming up..which means.. we'll need  the   Damage Control Plates  first.... we will  worry about  replacement  plates Later.. we got an 8 hour shift, ... so we shoudl be able  to turn  out at plates  12 plates  per Cauldron....

Zob listened to the Foremans instructions, "Understood, then lets get to it" he said excitedly ready for a fast paced day pouring.

Zob once the prep talk was over got into position on the line, "Alright Jonesy ready to win that bet?" he smirked as he waited for the whistle.

  the whistle Blew  , the crew clocked on  and went to thier stations, the   forms began  to   roll out  as the    Caoldron mpved foreward  to  be  tilted.

 The Fore man stayed on the  Floor   watching  the workers  so no one  did  anything stupid.

 Above them , at the end of the  rollers,  a pair of   laborers    hooked the forms to  the  Over eha d Crave, then Help   Guide the Forms   into the racks.

Once everything was in place Zob called out, "Hot soup!" then carefully began to pour the cauldron from number one into the forms making sure to leave some left in the cauldron as instructed for the scrap people to load when they sent it back down the line.

 each form that was    filled   cranked  forward, then the  cauldron was  pulled  back.. when they  were filled,  it  went  Forward again

  after  6 passes  , then  Guy on the Bridge  waved the   Bucket back, while smaller   swing  cranes  began to  load  more  scrap.

   then the   team swung to  the   left side  to get the  Next Bucklet Going..after  another  hour, the  2nd  Bucket  was emptied to the Bit of   soup left.

   The Foreman  waved them to go  to lunch.

Zob wiped the sweat from his brow and made his way down to his locker and grabbed a snack for lunch, "So Jonesy how are things?" he asked making small talk.

   the  Guys   sat down, the foreman Brought open a   football  drink  container and a Bag of  cup,

  ..Ice  water... amke  sure you hydrate

 Jonesy  smiles  as he  draw   a cup of Ice water to go with a  Pre wrapped Burger...not bad?..  we've been  busy..tryign to  make Hull plates... youc am always tell when we are getting ready for a  fight though, when they start having us  mix   soup for Damage Control platers.

Zob grabbed himself some ice water and sat with Jonesy, "Its a bit more complicated for me though as ill be on the front lines again... it gets old being shot at sometimes its why i like to work down here it helps me unwind..."

  after  making sure the crww drank  enougb water.. the  first   caildron  was flashing again...

 the  Team moved up to pour..this  time  , they emptied the two cauldrons ..suing the last of the  soup in both caldrons, they poured  1 plate  extra.. for  51

 ..You guys  did  real good,  we'll use the  Civies  that volunteered  , to clean the place up.. take the rest of the  shift off...

-----> From Field

Zob had the battle with the Verian's on the mind it wouldn't be long until they would have to go and fight again and he wanted to be ready, he took a step forward and felt the familiar heat of the foundry he enjoyed quite a bit when he arrived he looked for the foreman about getting some axe molds poured.

  Mitch ( the forman Mitch)  was  sitting at a desk on't eh floor  checking off  boxes  for 'plates poured' and ' I beams poured"

 He waved ay Zob, it was  as quiet as the foundry could be..only on ladle running.

Zob smirked at seeing Mitch, "Heya Mitch its been a while, say is it possible the guys could pour me some axe molds? you will be paid of course" he was curious if they would be able to do that for him at this time.

   Mitch Looked up,well?   now's the best time.. we're  caught  up on Plates..or almost..we  even  poure a few  hundred  I beams   for shorlign up  Bulk heads and such.... You lookign at   Heads?.. or   'one piece  pours ' ..hollow or  smooth   handles?.. what do you need..

Zob smiled a bit, "Tomahawks as you humans call them, i need 8 axe heads and 6 hollow metal handles to fit them... think you can accommodate that request?"

   well... we'll need  to set up  molds.. the    Handles   we  can pour around a pipe....witht he cast in the middle to keep it hollow?

  yhou have an idea.. or  do you  want to  draw one up...hardest thing with be  setting the molds...afte that, a few minutes  pours,  couple hours to cool?

 caost will be cheap...about 10 Creds  per ? Since  were makign them with the  steel on hand?

Zob nodded and took a few minutes and drew up a quick design for him showing Mitch just what he had in mind, "I think this should be sufficient" he then handed Mitch a pink 100 cred bill.

 ..Get Blake and Mattsie out here.. I need a  Mould set...about 10 yards  look for  weapons... he closed his  Coms.. a Big  Guy and a Little  came  Out. The Big  guy, Blake began to study the Pic, and  Mattie started  hammering  in   bound on a slight  rounded   metal  car...

  once the  boards  were on  place  be began to pour  it  full of form  foam.... Mitch  Brought  out   the  carving   tools.

Zob took the opportunity to move off to the side out of the way to watch the guys work, he wasn't efficient in the whole mold forming process but he was well trained in the pouring process but if he watched he could learn a thing or two.

 It took Mattsie  a good  20 minutes  to  fill the  frame box with the foam... then Blake   began to out line the   weapons in the foam. He allowed a couple  feet  from each weapon.

 another  10 Minutes , he had them all laid out.  and then began to   cut  into the  fam with the specialized tools.

  the double checked the  for the  thickness of the  blades, and the  cylindrical  handles, Mattsie  came back  with  Pipe 'handles' for  Blake to use .

  Mitch smiled at the  pair as he said to   Zob,..those pipes  will be  eaten by the steel, but it  will add a mor ...composite.. to the  hanled,, the  Heads of the wapons  will be poured first and allow the  steel to   flow into the handles , thus making them 'pure ' steel from the ladle.

Zob nodded, "Sounds like a plan Mitch" he was watching so he could learn in case if he wanted to give it a shot next time he was in the foundry but that would have to wait until after the upcoming conflict.

 Blake's  skill at  cutting out the   molds  were   effortless, once the   forms  were set, he  sprayed the  inside  of the  forms.

 Mattsie  said, spraying them  seals  off  air holes , soe the metal   flows  where it's suppsoed to go. It saves  alot of time  in grinding later...

 they  pushed the  cart over to the LAdel

Zob nods, "Makes sense" he then looked over to Blake, "You have a skilled hand for cutting its impressive to say the least" he complimented his work as he followed as far as he could before he couldn't go any further due to not wearing the proper PPE.

 I always  wanted to   be  an artist, but my father  said tehgre was more creds in  metal for   Cap Ships... he was right?.. but?  doesn't  do me much good out here....still? we  get small jobs like this one in a while, that i can  use  my  skils on..

 Mattsie  had a Long handed   ladle, he held it out as he stood on the form. Blade   let the sluce gate open ,  the smaller man   filled  the  ladle   and  poured the  further  axe first.. working his  way  back. housing  a   full ladel for each. Though the  man was small, his arms  were corded   as  he  moved the ladle as  one  might  a broom...another   15 minutes of this... and the Axes  were poure.

 Mitch smiles  at the Men, he   gives  Blake the Money,That's  from  The SGT here.. you two split it.. turning to Zob,we'll let the  set a   day, near the   starbard Stern..its the closest place in here...

Zob nods at Mitch, "Have them send me a com message when its ready to be picked up" he then looked to Mattsie and Blake, "I may have other jobs lined up for you in the future, but until then if you want to talk shop or anything or get a drink here is my com frequency" he then gave them his com frequency.
