Dorm Shooting Range, Thursday night

[craftyladyparts.livejournal.com]

After an enlightening conversation with Doctor Tannis, some money dropped in a, um, functional gun vending machine, and some SCIENCE, Jessica figured out how to combine guns together.

Thankfully, her SHIELD training did include weapons training, even if she did her best to reject it because yeah, she wasn't going to rely on guns. But she still learned enough there to know which way to point the thing before pulling the thing and making the thing go rat tat tat. Or, in this case, bzzzt splish szzzzzzzz. And that, apparently, was what it looked like when you made a corrosive shock weapon. Um. She'd probably have to apologize to someone about the back wall... But still, it worked!

Now she just had to get the gun mod info out and get people to work so they had an advantage over Handsome Jack's guys.

Cecil had decided a bit of target practice couldn't go amiss, just in case. He was probably a little rusty these days. He got to the range just in time to see the bzzzt splish szzzzzzzz.

He applauded.

"Thanks," Jessica said before putting the gun down and taking her safety goggles off. "But I don't do this for applause. I do it for the money. Or, in this case, for the science."

[voiceoverdue]

"Science! I'm very fond of science." Well, of ♥Carlos♥; wasn't that the same thing? "That's really destructive science, too!" The wall still seemed to be sizzling a little.

"It's hopefully the kind of science that will give us an advantage over Handsome Jack's guys," Jessica said. "They apparently use the same guns, but don't take the time to customize things."

[voiceoverdue]

"Oo, it's a custom job?" Color Cecil glowing impressed. He frowned. "I don't trust those guys. Maybe it's just the yellow and the faceless corporation acting overly parental, but I don't.

"Well, they're also pretty explicitly evil, and they shoot at people, and they're up to very sketchy Vault business," Jessica said. "I think it's fair to say that they're probably not friendly."

[voiceoverdue]

"I've known some pretty friendly evil things," Cecil protested. And really, didn't everybody shoot at people from time to time? "But these do seem pretty sketchy," he agreed. "Do you think they plan on doing more than shooting people that come near them and letting dangerous mutated horrors into the island?"

[craftyladyparts.livejournal.com]

"That's enough to consider them the enemy in my book," Jessica said. "But yes, I think all of this is just what they're using to let them do whatever it is they're planning to do with the Vault."

[voiceoverdue]

"What do you think that is?" Cecil asked. "If it's bad, maybe the City Council should stop them? Or..." he waved vaguely, "whatever is in charge here?"

[craftyladyparts.livejournal.com]

"There's no city council. There's just all the people, and we've been working on how to stop them," Jessica said. "People have been in the library getting information and the streets fighting back all week. But now that Handsome Jack seems to be stepping things up, it kind of looks like it's time for us to leapfrog him. That's why I'm working on this."

[voiceoverdue]

"We designed weapons in science class Monday," Cecil offered. "But I mostly just know about bullets and things. That's why I came here to practice." He thought about it for a minute. "You think you could show me how to do that to my gun, too?"

[craftyladyparts.livejournal.com]

"Maybe. The Hyperion guns are easier because they're piecemeal by nature. With a little bit of engineering knowledge, you can take the guns apart and put them back together in a weird, dangerous hodgepodge," Jessica said. "I'm not sure about what you designed, but I can take a look at it."

[voiceoverdue]

"Oh! Um..." he dug into his backpack and fished out the thumb drive he'd saved the things on. "Here!"



[OOC: Ahahahahaha! I have no clue. Neither does Cecil. Picture something involving fire and probably radically misinterpreted versions of things DOOM had available for them to find out. Feel free to tell him to no. *g*]

Jessica walked over to where she stowed her backpack and pulled a very snazzy tablet out of it, then plugged the USB in. After looking at the schematics for a moment, she said, "That's... a pretty unique weapon. Way out of my league. That's more of a Tony Stark project, but he doesn't build guns like that and he's not in town anymore."

[voiceoverdue]

"Oh, well." Cecil shrugged. "I'll just save it for some other time, then. I bet ♥Carlos♥ can figure it out. Maybe I can take this one apart and figure out how to make it sizzle and spark instead!" He squinted at the pistol he'd gotten from the vending machine.


[Bedtime shortly, I'm afraid. Wrap up or SP?]

[craftyladyparts.livejournal.com]

"Okay, that I can help you with. I'll just need another gun first... and for that, I'll need to finish making the machine, um, usable again. Long story, don't ask," Jessica said. "That'll just take a few minutes."

[OOC: Wrap up, if you don't mind. My availability tomorrow is not very good.]

[voiceoverdue]

Cecil perked up. "Great! Can I help?"


[Sure! :)]

[craftyladyparts.livejournal.com]

"Not the fixing the machine part," Jessica said, holding up a vial. "I have a solvent to eat away at the gum in the money slot, but the rest of the mechanical issues are fixed. But I'm happy to have help with the real work."

And then THEY DID SCIENCE!

[OOC: Night!]

[voiceoverdue]

Cecil would be telling ♥Carlos♥ all about this! Real SCIENCE!


[Night!]
