Right, tech wishlists, drop them here. Try to keep these things reasonable. I'm a genius but not a miracle worker.

not that they've told me about. idk what sort of plants have the right properties for that around here. we've got some weird ones

[nonstopnarcissist]

So I'm learning. I'll keep an eye out for anything mineral that might be useful.

[spoileralert]

sweet. I'll see if I can find any likely culprits in the survival books. what kind of mechanic are you anyway? making a sewing machine from

scratch is a little harder than fixing up a car

[nonstopnarcissist]

Mechanical Engineer, Electrical Engineer- I build things. It's what I'm best at, really.

[spoileralert]

wow, that's a wide skillset. and hella useful around here, low tech as we are.

[nonstopnarcissist]

Not the worst setup I've had, believe it or not. Far from the best, but I've done more with less.

[spoileralert]

[ It's impressive, even if it's just a brag. Still... ]

ever build any security systems?

[nonstopnarcissist]

Good quarter of my business was the research and development of. Buy a Stark System? No one's getting through.

[spoileralert]

but something like that would be practically impossible here, I guess.

[nonstopnarcissist]

Did you miss the part about 'research and development'? Half of that is looking at what's needed to make the thing happen, then making the thing happen.

[spoileralert]

how can you make a security system happen with the materials available in this place?

[nonstopnarcissist]

It'd be more analogue than digital, sure, but I'll make it work.

[spoileralert]

could I watch?

[ The trouble with commissioning a security system is that the designer knows how to bypass it. ]

[nonstopnarcissist]

Sure, it's pretty straightforward. I'll have to wind a few springs and hammer out a bell, couple of gears.

[spoileralert]

how long do you think that will take? either way you know how to reach me

Re: un: intrigued

[nonstopnarcissist]

Maybe a week? It's detail work and I have to make dies for drawing out the wire.

[spoileralert]

I almost wish I could help, except for the excessive blood loss that would probably result in

[nonstopnarcissist]

Once a day meal delivery would be useful, otherwise I'm prone to working till I pass out. Slows me down in the long run.

[spoileralert]

and once a day is enough? I’m surprised you aren’t wasting away already

[nonstopnarcissist]

I have a friend that plans to drag me out for breakfast- Two a day should do me.

[spoileralert]

two a day it is. no starving before you finish my sewing machine.

[nonstopnarcissist]

I wouldn't dream of it.
