>>6200166>"Unstable compounds're like that."Skygarry does a small chuckle that build in volume. He liked that.
He taps a finger against your chest and grins broadly
<span class="mu-i">"Ilike you. I think I like you a lot."</span>
>What was that vehicle you came in on? She's amazing.Skygarry beams and folds his arms.
<span class="mu-i">"She's something huh? The SHOEBILL is the pride of the Kies Point College. Capable of vertical takeoff and landing, including on water. She has a top speed of 212km. A theoretical vertical climb of 3000 feet per minute. She has a maximum takeoff weight of 5515 kg. She's powered by two turboprop 215 engines..."</span>
>"That ship of yours. Looks like she's clatch powered, right?"<span class="mu-i">"..YES! She has a clatch in each engine with a backup mogspit tank in each allowing us to travel at 200 km for 200km. Theoretically we can overcharge the engines by opening the reserve tanks while the clatches are already powering them, which may give us a new top speed. Ah, but that's an experiment for another time."</span>
>"What's in the bag?"<span class="mu-i">"Oh, we rounded up some boxes of ammo and some unopened mogspit. Most of it was damaged or cooked off, but I grabbed what I could. There might be more elsewhere."</span>
>"What's that on your arm?"<span class="mu-i">"Oh this? It is the Limaokameahana 200. It is colloquially called the factotARM. It's an armored gauntlet that can be made at the end of one's graduation. Each one is made just for the factotum, much like a soldier's tank suit. It can enhance strength, conduct heat and has shifting magnets to turn screws or grip part, it can generate small lights. It's like having a toolbox on your arm, that is as responsive as your own fingers. It makes a great many of our tasks easier. Veeeery expensive."</span>
>"What's with the dragon helmets?"<span class="mu-i">"While all the dragons are worthy of praise, the factotums hold a particular veneration for GAR, the architect and the master of blueprints. It was they who created the elves and the elven lands, rich in iron and sources of energy. It is through the lost works of GAR that we have created or RE-created some of the finest examples of technology known today. The Helmet is lightweight for what it does, and versatile. The dial on the side can filter the air, allow us to signal each other etc..."</span>
