"That's great! Is it draining you a lot?"

Rolled 32

>>24147988
"glad to hear it"

"Omni, before we go to the beach again remind me to build an amphibious shell for you!"

Summer will be the hard headed, never give up, always training to compensate for "the lack of talent" or whatever is applicable character

>>24147988
"Careful you don't short circuit, Niss!"

>>24148074
But his current shell can work in water, it just can't, you know, swim.

>>24148088
It's waterproof, silly

"That's great!" You say. "Is it draining you a lot?"
"Once it's created, it doesn't drain me much." She said, and reclined on the sand, lying back.
"Glad to hear it." you say, and call out to the robot in the water. "Omni, before we go to the beach again, remind me to build an amphibious shell for you!"
"There is no need. I have my ion thrusters. I was simply seeing if I could."
The manipulators whirred, and he splashed out of the water, boosting himself toward you again, wiping down his eyes. He hovered over Summer, and the drips vanished before they hit her at all- and that's when you notice that Omnissiah wasn't casting a shadow. Looking down at your own shadow, you can't find it. Apparently the light just *looks* like it's coming from the sun, when in truth it's a uniform.

>>24148119
"Summer, is it supposed to not make shadows?"
Also, let's try scritching her ears now, because we haven't tried it before.

>>24148119

never thought I would be without a shadow.

its a strange feeling.

>>24148119
"This place is pretty weird!"

"Hey, Summer, have you tried making an object that functions here but not in the real world, then bring it back with you?"

"Never thought I would be without a shadow." You say, looking down beneath you. "It's a strange feeling."

As you said that, the shadow faded into view.
"What do you mean?" Summer asked, looking down at your shadow.
"This place is pretty weird." You say.
"Well, sorry that my own mentally-created pocket dimension has differing laws of physics than the reality you're used to." Summer said, and stuck out her tongue.
"Hey, Summer, have you tried making an object that functions here, but not in the real world, then bring it back with you?"
"No, I haven't." She said. "I could try, I guess. I haven't done anything lately, so I won't be *too* tired. Also, I just stole some of Damien's ice cream for you."

"I love you"

Hug her.

>>24148250
"Haha, thank you."

"You could try something simple to start, maybe a wooden stick that lets out a tiny little laser beam when held?"

>>24148250
"Hooray!"

Also, I just remembered that we were going to get a taste sensor for Omni, so we should do that soonish.

>>24148250

"that will show him."

>not sure if she's tried it yet or if we've asked but what would happen if she took an object from real space in to the pocket dimension and then turning the pocket off?

>>24148250
"and every thing went better than expected "

"you know with the low energy cost of making things in this place, its sorta like a mental art studio in her you could make more and more complex things until you made it just how you want it to function and try all ideas with out much worry of energy cost. "

"Hooray!" You say. "You could try something simple to start. Maybe a wooden stick that lets out a tiny little laser beam when held?"
"... Like a magic wand!" She said, and as soon as she did, a carved, polished stick appeared. "Give it a wave."

You pick up the wand, and wave toward an empty spot in the sand, and the sand started to lift, levitating into a sphere, coiling around itself.
"Huh." She said. "That feels funny. Like you're... changing my dimension for me. It's funny when someone else does it."

>>24148333

wiggle it at a rock next.

Well, if your god in this place then it makes sense you can bestow powers to change things as well.

>>24148333
"Woo! You've given me the power to manipulate."

"Woo! You've given me the power to manipulate."
"It's not really in you, it's more in the wand." She said.
You wiggle the wand at the rock next, and there was a crack of thunder, splitting the rock into two charred halves.

You dropped the wand in surprise, and Omnissiah reached for it.
He gave the wand a flick- and the full, half-crescent silver ship appeared, some distance away from the sand.
"It seems I can use this." Omnissiah said, looking over to the large spacecraft. "Interesting. If I had the data on your designed spacecraft, we could likely use this place to simulate flying it."

>>24148333
"like it drains you"?
wave the wand to make a sand space ship like the one we plan on building, have it fly past Omni

"yea you made me a reality editing tool sweet I am sure the researchers will love this. "

>>24148393
>>24148391
lol make it for him ship mind

>>24148333
"I have the power!"
Time for more terrible singing.

>>24148391

can we summer? if it's not to much trouble of course.

>>24148391
"This is pretty much the perfect training ground."

"Can we, summer?" You ask. "If it's not too much trouble, of course."
"Sure!" She said, grinning. "Just let me focus..."

Your ears popped, and the atmosphere changed slightly.
"There!" She said. "Now this place is an entire solar system! With only one planet, and one sun, an asteroid belt, and the rest is all empty void, but it still works!" She said.
"This is pretty much the perfect training ground.
Omnissiah flicked the wand again, and the ship you designed appeared- a large, squat ship, with ion thrusters sticking out of the sides, and shutters for the maintenance drones.
You couldn't help but widen your eyes at the sight.
"I remembered what you showed me." Omnissiah said. "So I simulated it here. If I think of this world as a partitioned, simulated reality, then it's much easier for me to conceptualize. It seems this 'magic wand' takes my intentions and produces the affect."

Then it's head tilted.
"What color do you want it?"

>>24148493
Candy apple red.

>>24148493
"You know what, Niss? You pick the colours that are most visually pleasing to your sensors."

>>24148493
Red on the engines, to make it faster of course.

>>24148510

>>24148493

cycle it through YOUR favorite colors and let's see if we can find something.

>>24148493
red so it goes faster

>>24148493
"You should get Anna! She said she was going to show me her gun blowing up some asteroids and this would be easier than taking a ship out."

>>24148493
Yellow.

>>24148510
>>24148560

Candy apple red with Yellow Detail?

>>24148547
na lets blow up some real asteroids.

"Candy apple red! And maybe a bit of yellow." You say, and with another flick, the ship became bright, bright red. Summer goggled at it, and grinned.
"Come on in, Heather."

You made your way into the ship, looking around at the fully stocked kitchenette, past the bedding area, and into the cockpit.
There was one thing that wasn't in the design, and it was a mount designed for Omnissiah to fit into. He gave you a look that your mind translated as 'sheepish', before hovering into it, locking himself in. The computers flicked on, and the engine started up, making the entire thing thrum.
Summer strapped herself into one of the chairs. "Let's see if you can make your way out of the atmosphere!" She said. "Don't worry about crashing, I have things set up so we'll all be fine."

>>24148590
"Go on, Omni. Take off!"

>>24148590

"I guess we'll have to fit that mount on the completed project, you're more than welcome to join me on my ship!" with a smile.

>>24148590
Let's try saying hi in Technopathy

>>24148590
Do a systems check and go through the launch checklist. (But skip most of the steps.)

>>24148590
"blast off" also "hey send me the plans on how to make that" (point to the mount designed for Omnissiah)

"I guess we'll have to fit that mount on the completed project." You say, and sit yourself in the pilot's seat, strapping yourself in. "You're more than welcome to join me on my ship!" You say, and give the drone a smile.

"Systems check." You look through the readouts. Everything looked good.
"Alright." You say again. "Blast off."

Wheeling the ion thrusters on the port and starboard of your ship until they pointed straight down, you slammed on the thrust, soaring upward, and you slowly leaned the thrusters slightly backward.

And off you blasted, your cherry red ship sparking out of the atmosphere. The life support systems hissed loudly as they initialized, switching from external air into internal systems.

And then, being jerked in your seat, you reach for the wrong lever, and pull, intending to orient your entire ship upwards.

Instead, you went spinning, your reaction control system too powerful for the ship. You went spinning, wildly, jerked forward against your straps. You turned off your primary thrusters, toning down the attitude control and reoriented yourself. Then you slam your heat shield up to increase your drag, reorient your thrusters backward and downward, and slam them up as far as they could go. You were jerked back in your seat again, as your orbit slowly, but surely, circled around the planet. As you made your way out of the atmosphere, your eyes widen.
There were no stars anywhere, save the single sun that the planet circled around.

>>24148809
"This...this is like video games, to the next level, Summer."

"Make some stuff for me to blow up!"

>>24148809

"control systems need a little work/getting used to"

"this is quite beautiful, but it seems so empty without stars."

>>24148809
Push it to the max. We must find the flaws in summer's physics. For science.

>>24148809
"Whoa."

"Control systems need a little getting used to." You say, pushing forward and adjusting your orbit. From here, you could see that the entire world was a massive beach, the northern hemisphere all beach, and the southern hemisphere all ocean, completely uniform.
"This is quite beautiful." You say. "But it seems so empty without stars."
"I can fix that." Summer said. "Turn so we're looking straight away from the planet."
You turn, and then the ship looked straight into the depths of the darkness.
Summer got out of her seat, walked up to the glass... and tapped it.
"Bang." She said, and a small bead of something white was on the glass.
No, no... it was in the distance.

And then the small white bit exploded into light and nebula, time-accelerated mass whirling into suns, solar systems, planets and constellations. An entire universe appeared before your eyes.
"Whoa." You say.
"... That's what love feels like." Omnissiah said, after a moment.

"It's.... beautiful." You say, and tear up.
"It is, isn't it!" Summer said, grinning and turning back to you. When she saw your expression, she frowned. "What? What's wrong?"
"Something from nothing." You say, sniffling, eyes wide.
"Everything from nothing." Omnissiah said.
"It's beautiful." You say.

Summer sighed, unstrapped your chair, and pulled you into a hug.
"None of it's real." She said, a strange tone in her voice. "Yet, at least."

>>24149042
>"Yet, at least."
Future BBEG confirmed.
She'll be like Obito from Naruto, "eternal peace".
We must steer her to the Path of Ashura if nothing else.

>>24149137
Fake universe. From fake nothing. And then fake accelerated.

You take a deep breath, recovering your composure as best you could with nebula still spinning in the background.
"What, you want to be a god or something?" You ask.
"I want to be good enough to fix my mistakes, and to never make a mistake again." Summer said, quietly. "If becoming a god is what I need to do, I will. It's as simple as that."

The Divine Tigress, Summer!

I like it.

>>24149154

"mistakes are as much part of us as successes are, please don't forget that."

>>24149154
"Everyone makes mistakes, Summer."

>>24149154
"That's a pretty ambitious life plan. Good for you."

>>24149154
"way to shoot, for a low goal."

"Mistakes?"
"Life is a pile of good things and bad things. Yeah, good things don't always soften bad things, but neither do the bad things always spoil the good things, Summer."

>>24149154
"...Don't forget who you are along the way.

Promise me that much."

"Way to shoot for a low goal." You say, and hug her again. "... Don't forget who you are along the way. Promise me that much."
"Of course." She said. "I'm Summer K Grayson, and I always will be. I promise."
Omnissiah was silent.
"... I believe you forgot about eating entirely." Omnissiah suddenly said.

>>24149267

"... space picnic! what do we have?"

>>24149267
>"Is that what I was supposed to be doing? I got sidetracked by the big bang."

>>24149267
Gasp, "food!"

>>24149267
I suppose I did yeah...

You gasp. "Food! Is that what I was supposed to be doing? I got sidetracked by the big bang."
Summer focused, and suddenly you had gravity, and the food you'd brought into this reality was sitting there.
"Let's go into the kitchenette place to eat." Summer said, and the three of you made your way out of the cockpit.

"So is this what you wanted, Omnissiah?" Summer asked, while you ate.
"I got significantly more than I wanted." Omnissiah said, and hugged the manifestation. "Thank you, Summer."
"D'aww, it's no problem." The girl said, giggling.

>>24149358
"Hey lets remember to take the wand with us when we leave. see if it can work outside of here."

>>24149358
"Should we go back to the cafeteria now?"

"Should we go back to the cafeteria now?" You ask, finishing up your food and taking your pill.
"Sure, probably." Summer said.
"Hey, let's remember to take the wand with us when we leave, see if it can work outside of here."
"I almost forgot about that!" Summer said, and handed you the wand. "Hold on tightly."

You hang tightly onto it, and then suddenly you were in the cafeteria, Omnissiah floating next to you.
"Welcome back." Damien said. He was pouting, and there was... a giant paw-shaped print in his bowl of ice cream. Summer's real body grinned at you, licking at her ice-cream-covered paw and whiskers.

>>24149561
make more Ice creme with the wand.

"Ill fix that"

>>24149561

let's wave our wand at the bowl of ice-cream.

>>24149561
"Thanks! How long were we gone for?"

You wave your wand at the bowl of ice cream, and Summer twitched, as more ice cream manifested itself. Damien grinned, and reached forward with a spoon.
"Hey!" Summer said. "You... how... You *forced* me to manifest that!"
She demanifested the additional ice cream.
"How did you do that? Did you get in my head?"

>>24149669
"No, I just waved the wand thing."

>>24149669
It was the wand! I've got a trid remote, except for you!

>>24149669
"I just used the wand, I guess it keeps a link to your powers even outside of your manifested world."

>>24149669
"No. It was the wand. That's kind of interesting."

Note to self. Never, ever let this get into the wrong hands.

Oh I have an idea. Since we understand machines in a way Summer doesn't do you think we oculd manifest a gun FOR her? So she gets what it is?

>>24149669
I just waved the wand it seams to have a link to your mind ... neet now any one can use your powers... if you let them...

>>24149669
"Magic" pause for effect "wand!"

"No, I just waved the wand. I've got a trid remote, except for you! It seems to have a link to your mind... Maybe now anyone can use their powers."
"Um... I'm not entirely comfortable with that." Summer said. "Can I have it back so I can demanifest it?"

>>24149762
"Sure," hand it back to her. "Looks like you'll have to be careful about what you manifest."

>>24149762
"Of course! I didn't even realize it would do that. I can understand why you'd want it back, though."

>>24149762
of course you can have it back, though the implications of the wand are scary

"Sure," You say, and hand it back. "Looks like you'll have to be careful about what you manifest. I didn't even realize it would do that."
You hand it to her, and she snapped it in half. A spark zapped from it, and then the magic wand vanished.
"Guess now we know what happens when I make something impossible." She said. "The impossible things use my psionics to do it. If I'd made a teleporter, or something I'm not specialized in it, maybe it would have killed me."

>>24149824
"than its a good thing I love e cream." (eat more and early to sleep we got work to do in the morning, saving damsels in distress.)

>>24149824
"Well, it's a good thing you didn't, Deus Summer."

>>24149824
"Yeah, you'll have to be careful."

find Anna. <Still want to blast some asteroids?>

"Yeah, you'll have to be careful." You say. "It was a good thing you didn't."
Summer frowned. "Well, now I get to worry about making impossible objects, now."

You make your way over to Anna, who was eating popcorn, of all things, crunching on them happily.
<Still want to blast some asteroids?> You ask her, and she looked up.
"Hm?" She asked. "Sure. I'll even let you fire it if you're really good. You want to bring anyone with us, or just the two of us?"

>>24150002

"Well I still want to learn a little bit about flying so I guess it's just you and me!"

"Just me." You say. "More explosions for myself."
"Alright!" She said, and shot you a smile. "Let's go, then."

The two of you put your food away, and you made your way toward the hub.
Anna was quiet, as if she was thinking quite a lot as she walked.

"... I'm sorry I've been awkward for the past few days." She said.

>>24150095
"Eh? It's okay, I've been really forgetful lately anyway! We'll make up for that right now!"

>>24150095
"I haven't noticed."
then teasingly, "Maybe you're just always awkward around me?"

>>24150095
"That's...okay?"

>>24150127
Seriously, I hadn't noticed either.

>>24150095
"Huh? What do you mean?"

>>24150095
"...and I'm sorry if I've been making you feel awkward... What were you feeling awkward about?"

>>24150095
"you are always Awkward, :P" "but really I haden't noticed"

"I haven't noticed."
"O-oh, right." She said. "Okay, nevermind. Pretend I didn't say anything."

Then she soared toward the wyvern, pushed along by her windy storm of telekinesis. You followed, and the two of you strapped yourselves in.

"... I'm sorry if I've been making you feel awkward..." You say. "What were you feeling awkward about?"
"Nothing." She said. "Nothing at all."

>>24150223
"Tell meeee." Pout.

>>24150223
"Come ooooon, it's just you and me here, you can tell me."

As if any of us don't know what this is about.

>>24150223
"Ellie said you kept looking at me, you know."

Put a hand on hers. "I'm pretty sure it wasn't nothing."

>>24150223
"Buuuuuut you've got me interested now"

>>24150248
She's trying so hard to be straight, but in the end everyone is Heather-sexual.

>>24150223
"I will start tickle telekinesis torture, if you don't fess up, this is your only warning ;P

>>24150223
"Oh, come on. You know I won't laugh at you."

"Tell meeeee." You say.
"I-"
"Come oooooon, it's just you and me here. You can tell me."
"But-"
"Buuuuut you've got me interested now."
"You picked up on my thoughts when I was being... uh, and it was *really* embarrassing!" She suddenly yelled, banging her hand against her control panel.

>>24150298
"O-oh, you mean when you were..."

Then comes blushing, serious blushing.

"O-oh, you mean when you were..."
"Y-yeah." She said. "That's why I was avoiding you. I didn't want to put a damper on vacation."

Then she stopped the wyvern, and you were jerked forward in your seat.
"Now, get your suit on. Let's go destroy things."

Outside of the ship, hovering in place, was a tall, statuesque exosuit. While most were bulky and heavily armored, this one had minor plating on the arms and legs, while the torso was almost... skintight, with three fission cores in the back. Cables in the back of the helmet flew freely, almost dangling outward like hair, and ion thrusters held her in place. In her hands was a massive shotgun, with a barrel large enough to drop a softball down, all sorts of cables plugged into the chamber where the bullet sat.

"Are you ready?" Anna asked over the radio.

>>24150298
That's not embarrassing, what is embarrassing is having lewd dreams about Jilly and getting her tongues wrong.

>>24150431
Squee.

>>24150431
"Fuck YEEEEEEAH."

>>24150431
It's almost as if your compensating for something.

>>24150431
"Hell yeah! Bring it on!"

>>24150431
"holy shit yes!"

"Hell yeah!" You say. "Bring it on!"
"Right!" Anna said, and you could hear the grin on her face. She pumped the cannon, which made LEDs light up along the barrels, as a loud noise radiated from it. You saw the cannon start to tremble.

And the cannon started reciting something in a language you didn't know. Ranting about the power of the sun purging the unmighty, of LORD PELOR defeating the foes, burning the heretics and demiurg and demons into nothingniess with the CLENSING LIGHT

And Anna's grin grew. She pumped it again, and there was a beep from the gun's radio. She pulled the trigger...

And you saw.

It was a giant fusion slingshot. White hot plasma slammed out of the barrel as heavy elements broke down into radiation and incredible, incredible heat. The globule slammed into the asteroid, melting a hole through it.

<SOL INVICTUS.> The gun roared, exultantly.

"Not if I marry it first!" She said, and hugged it. "It's *mine*."

I really want to get it on with Anna, actually.

>>24150981
But we can't plan on it or else he'll see it coming.

"Can I?" You ask, and squirm inside your spacesuit. "Can I really?"
"Promise you'll be careful."
"I'll be careful!" You say. "Triple promise!"

"Alright, come over here." She said, and you soar toward her. She put it in your hands.
"First things first. Cradle it in your offhand like this, and put your primary hand here... and then you just... flip off the safety here... and pump it."
You pump it, and the weapon made a loud 'chchk' noise through your suit. You shivered involuntarily, and then the weapon started to buzz, ranting in the back of your mind.
"Don't worry, that's the capacitors charging." She said. "Wait until it stops increasing... and then pump it again. Right after you pump it, you need to wait until it starts shaking, and pull the trigger."
You nod... and then pump the cannon again. It started shaking badly, and it was all you could do to keep it pointed toward the asteroid- then you pulled the trigger.

The enormous globule blasted out, your suit beeping a radiation alert for a short time, and then it slammed into the asteroid, fusion plasma blasting against the asteroid and melting, crushing, and fusing with it all at the same time.

Buckle at the knees.

"I. Um."

So, Um.. Just to clarify, are we actually getting a bit heated because of the cannon, or are we just telling Anna that we are? I'm confused.

"Exactly!" Anna said.
"I.. um." You say. "I used to be a 'small and cute' guns girl. I think you've turned me into a size freak."
"Bigger is better." Anna said, and you heard the grin in her voice as she flipped the gun's safety on. "But I don't want to waste all my ammunition. Let's get back in the ship."

Now that will make a solid boom!

"Are you trying to compensate for something?" You ask.
"Yes." She said. "I'm trying to compensate for not having the power to carry around ship-grade weapons in my hands."
"... I now realize the need to make myself a really really big gun. Think I could manage a laser with that crystal I've got?"
"I don't think so. That crystal was really dense, and opaque." Anna said. "It could hold a lot of heat without melting. Maybe you could make a small-scale fusion cannon, have the fusion engine heat up the crystal and then you fire the crystal at it?"

>>24151265
"I'd need to make a lot more of those crystals then, which probably means I'll need a lot of raw materials..." Start babbling about random numbers, possible ways we could design the fusion cannon, et cetera. All while drifting way off course into the void.

>>24151265

i'm thinking Heat sink

>>24151265
"Sounds neat. Want to come help out? I'm not too big on weapons, so I could use a hand."

as we can't kiss the gun really, we should kiss Anna instead. to thank her!

>>24151298

How would we get the heat out of it, then? Besides having Anna nearby.

>>24151265
"We'll have to find out!"

Doesn't stop us using the crystal as a gain medium like they do in solid-state lasers with YAG crystals.

>>24151265
>>24151265
If we aren't near the ship yet:
"Hmm. I'll need more crystals then. Stand back!" Fire a Void Sphere at the largest chunk left of the asteroid.

GUYS! GUYS WAIT! We still have brain damage! No black holes yet!

>>24151356
Nah, black holes are draining, but not brainmelting. It'll be fine.

>>24151265
MY guess is that if we construct this then Heather will destroy worlds faster than Devourer-kun.

>>24151323
do one of the stupid Mass effect style one that can be ejected

>>24151387
Ejected as a projectile weapon?

>>24151387

But then we'd need more crystals.

>>24151356
But what's the worst that could happen? While we're at it, let's teleport that perfect crystal computer here for our ship!

"We'll have to find out!" You say. "Sounds neat. Want to come help out? I'm not too big on weapons, so I could use a hand."
"I'm okay with maintenance." She said, stowing the cannon under Wyvern's control panel. Both of you peeled off your suits, strapped yourselves in, and the wyvern docked at the station again.

You and Anna made your way down to the workshop. Omnissiah was there, studiously building something. You give it a look, and it was... a clock. Made of gears.
"Hello." He said.

>>24151508
"Whatcha making a clock for?"

>>24151508
"Hi. Is that a clock? Why are you making a clock?"

>>24151508
An experiment in the principles of basic mechanics?

>>24151508
An actual clockwork clock? Cool.

>>24151508
"Woah, did you get that design from the extranet or make it yourself?"

"Hi. Is that a clock? Why are you making a clock?" You ask.
"To see if I can." Omnissiah said. "I have refrained from examining any clockwork clock designs, to see if I can extrapolate how one would function from the basic idea." He said.
"... So you're curious if you're smart enough to invent something." Anna said, still rather wary.
"Yes." Omnissiah said.

>>24151633
"That's pretty damn cool."

"Want to help us out? We were going to try and build a laser, or a fusion gun, or a hybrid of both, with this weird crystal I made."

>>24151633
"When people try to invent something that means something is making their lives (or lives of the people around them)more difficult than it could be. So what is making your life difficult?

>>24151633
"Hey Ssiah, can I ask you a question? You have emotions now, right? How do you feel about the Demiurg?"

>>24151633
D'aww
Hug the nissy.
Pull Anna in on the hug.
Then remember moisture.
Heather time.

>>24151657
I think that if Anna is weary about him inventing clocks we should not get him to build giant guns. Or at least not in front of her.

>>24151682

>"Hey Omni, whatcha makin?"
"Oh nothing much, just this planet destroying fusion bomb launcher that Heather asked for."

"Hey, Siah, can I ask you a question?"
"Go ahead."
"You have emotions now, right?"
"Yes."
"How do you feel about the Demiurg?"
Omnissiah was silent.
"I hate them, a small bit." He said. "But primarily, I pity them. Because they don't feel. They don't care about one another."
There was a pause.
"I also pity them because they will all have to be killed, some day."

>>24151753
Look to Anna with a vague expression of hope.

>>24151753
Nudge Anna.

"We're going to make some stuff now, Can I ask you to give us some time alone?"

>>24151769
Err, that was said to Nissy, not to Anna. I should clarify.

Anna and Heather alone time

>>24151769
Yeah, I don't think she would be comfortable talking about her relationship with Omnissiah while he is in the room.

Still, this should hopefully let her rest easy about it.

You look to Anna.
She looked like she wanted to pat the drone.

"We're going to make some stuff now." You tell him. "Can I ask you to give us some time alone?"
"As you ask." Omnissiah said, and took the pile of gears in one hand, the partially-completed clockwork box in his other, and left the room. You close the door, and Anna stretched, relaxing and tugging at her jumpsuit to loosen it.
"Alright." She said. "What sort of weapon should we make?"

>>24151753
"Let's get buildinnnnnng"

>>24151799
Figured as much, though it was worded a tad strangely.

>>24151843
"Dunno, but I definitely want to incorporate the crystal somehow."

>>24151843
"Fusion gun? Laser beam? What about a fusion ball launcher ignited and launched by a laser? I don't know, but I want to use that crystal, it could do something awesome we don't know about."

>>24151843
"A huge fuck off laser.

So big that it needs TK to hold properly.

We can use the crystals as heatsinks, right?"

>>24151863
This. "Do you think I could make the crystal a super-compact heat sink?"

>>24151843
Well first, it needs to have a HUGE power supply.

Then we need to figure out how to get all that energy into the target.

>>24151923
Okay, what if.

What if we did this.

Except instead of ejecting the heatsinks, or letting them call down, have a second barrel that fires the superheated crystals, and then cycles in new crystals.

It will be the biggest gun.

>>24151951
Ooooh, I like this.

>>24151951
Now we're thinking with dakka.

>>24151951
What if
We build a gun that fires guns that fire laser guns that fire their heatsinks.

"A huge fuckoff laser." You say. "Something so big it needs TK to hold properly. We can use the crystals as heatsinks, right?"
"If you use it as a heatsink, you'll need to remove it without melting your gun." She said. "And... well, I don't know how to make a fusion gun. It cost me a lot to get that one made."
"A huge fuck-off laser." You say, suddenly. "It needs a huge power supply."
"We'd need to cool that down somehow."
"The crystals? Then we can have a second barrel that fires the superheated crystals, then cycles in new crystals."
"But we only have the one." Anna said. "It might be better to use it as a component than ammunition."

>>24152008
Arrrrgh!

Weapons are hard!

>>24152008
"Well what other component can it be besi-wait I have an idea." Get the crystal, set it down on the table. "Before we do anything, lets see how the crystal disperses heat. Anna, could you heat it up for me?"

I remember it gave off electricity and such when we'd just made it.

Has summer tried to copy our crystal yet?

>>24152008
I would like to request what the crystal now looks like, it's weight, refractive index and color.

>>24152008
"I can make more!"

>>24152067
We could either create more ourself by shooting them at stuff or get her to try making one. I really think we should just make them ourself when we have the time though. Fly our ship out and clean up some stray asteroids in the middle of nowhere. Might even see Mr. Devourer floating by.

You know, one of the things the VQ had trouble with if I recall was hyperdense minerals. We may want to hang on to that thing just in case.

>>24152054
It DID give off electricity, and radiation too. So maybe if we find a way to direct that we can make a lightning gun?

"Well, what other component can it be besi... wait. I have an idea." You say. "Before we do anything, let's see how the crystal disperses heat. Anna, could you heat it up for me?"
"Sure." She said, and focused. The crystal got hotter inside of its canister, the temperature rising... and it didn't let go of the heat in any way. The air away from the crystal stayed as cool as normal.
And then Anna pushed it just a little hotter, and a wave of heat hit you, emanating from the crystal as it let go of everything, returning to room temperature
"What." Anna said, eyebrows raised.

>>24152128
Considering we passed out just making the one it may be a better idea to practice our TK GRAVITY CRUSHER™ in a more controlled environment first.

>>24152163
"Neat!"

>>24152163
Cool! Do it again!

>>24152163
"Oh shit son we just found our heatsink."

>>24152163
"Anna, Anna, hey Anna! Anna I have an idea! Anna, what if... okay, what if we made the crystal a heatsink, but we made it in such a way that when it gave off heat like that it was all directed at a target, so it can be a normal gun AND a heat ray. Or maybe we should just make it a heat ray... or what if we used the heat from the crystal to power a turbine, meaning it was a power source AND a heatsink!"

>>24152163
Fuck, if we can direct it in one way, we can make a heat-ray.

>>24152163
i wanted to use it as a laser but a heat beam is fine too i guess

>>24152163
"Holy shit. Yes. Yes!"
>>24152219

>>24152163
"Heat ray? Flamethrower? Plasma ray?

All of these phrases excite me."

"Cool!" You say. "Do it again!"

She focused, and it got hotter, heat building up, and then quite suddenly it let go of the heat.
"Huh." Anna said. "I wonder what it does in a vacuum."

"Anna, Anna, hey Anna." You say. "I have an idea. What if... okay, what if we made the crystal a heatsink, but we made it in such a way that when it gave off heat like that, it was all directed at a target, so it can be a normal gun *and* a heat ray. Or maybe we could use the heat from the crystal to power a turbine, meaning it was a power source *and* a heatsink."

"Aren't turbines really large and inefficient?" Anna asked. "And I have no idea how you'd redirect the heat. Stuff it full of coolant and just blow the heated coolant out with ion thrusters?"

>>24152277
"Noo, it'd be simple! Just find a material that doesn't conduct heat! There are a ton of them, they're called insulators! They're mostly polycarbon materials, but I'm sure we can find one that would work. Oh! I know! We can use aerogel! Create an aerogel tube to direct the heat the way we want."

>>24152344
This sounds like a pretty good idea, actually.

>>24152344
But an insulator wouldn't project and amplify the heat! You'd need some kind of a heat mirror. BUT before that, let's test this in a vacuum. 20 bucks says the heat blast isn't convection.

>>24152344
But then we'll just have some hot air slowly pushing out the front. We need some way to amplify and direct the head even more.

We could have it shoot superheated ionized Phaeron gas, maybe have it make an electric charge between point A and point B, the gun and the Target, like a bolt of lightning, and then the Gas will follow the lightning and melt whatever is there.

>>24152277
"Idea! It uses metal-based coolant, which is then propelled by magnetics! Gauss gun!"
According to my vague understanding of metalurgy Tetraamminelithium is both highly conductive and effected by magnets.

>>24152401
You're right, we do need to test it in vacuum because if it's not convection this whole idea is fucked, however any insulator will serve to mirror heat, since an insulator is just something that does not conduct heat. It would all be about the way we designed and shaped the insulating material.

>>24152446
This dude is right though, we need some way to accelerate the heat. Heat is just the movement of atoms, so maybe if we created some kind of microwave-type situation?

"Let's test this in a vacuum." You say.
"Alright!" Anna said, and the two of you set up a pump to pull all of the air out of the crystal. Once that was done, Anna focused, and it started heating up more. And more.
And once it hit the point where it would normally let go of the heat... it didn't. The temperature just rose and rose.

Use TK to make a bubble of vacuum around the crystal.

>>24152277
It's too hard, Anna! I need a hug and 30 minutes in an iso chamber!

>>24152496
Err, thermally conductive, that is. And it's melting point is very low.

>>24152515
So it IS just conducting the heat into the air around it. Perfect! It won't work in vacuum though, unless we find a way to create artificial atmosphere around the crystal.

>>24152515
Nothing in space for the heat to transfer to.

>>24152515
Looks like I owe you 20. Now, let's get a safe distance and PUSH IT TO THE LIMIT!

Meanwhile, use TK grab a small asteroid or something to bump it into if we can't find the limit.

>>24152515
So we put it in a vacuum chamber, then hit it with gas from one direction, and it vents everything that way and boom?

>>24152515
"Well this is interesting. It operates on convection but it releases it very quickly.

Okay, heat it up a bit more then bring the atmosphere back into it, I want to see how fast it releases the current heat.

We can supercharge it by putting it in a vacuum and make the end result a lot hotter."

>>24152582
>>24152574
This is perfect. Get a canister of pressurized gas, attach it to the gun, hook it up by insulated wire to the artificial vacuum chamber where the crystal is held. We'll need to rig sensors to it so we can tell how hot it's getting.

>>24152582
Make sure to use all reasonable caution with this. No point losing our eyebrows over this.

>>24152582
geart idea, nothing can go wrong with sudden thermal discharges(what does a plasma cannon do again?).

>>24152639
If we get it hot enough it will turn the gas to plasma. So basically we're making a plasma rifle.

>>24152549
It could still release it as a burst of thermal radiation, if that was the method it was using. But it seems it is using conduction.
