[spoiler]Is there anybody who is in Nightingale? Just a-wondering.
>Needs help making real posts
>Might as well start here
>Hates making development posts
>Might as well get better at it.[/spoiler]
[b]Planet to be determined.
Nightingale United; Research Division[/b]
"Sheesh, as if he knows what it's like trying to build an entirely new design from just a few vague suggestions."
*The young woman continues her monologue of complaints as she walks across the hangar to her laboratory.
Still grumbling about the unfairness of the position of Division Head, she sets the dark laboratory ablaze with her holo-desk.
The ATCV rests in a corner, relatively unchanged. A whole array of various tools and materials line the two last walls, each tool carefully polished, yet each looking worn.*
"Let's see what the current gossip is, yes? Maybe [i]somebody[/i] will finally notice me. Goodness knows how long it's been since I've talked to somebody other than the boss."
*As she approaches the center of the lab, a chair drops down to hang out of the ceiling and she gracefully takes a seat.
Within the space of a few keystrokes, the local news and several social sites are pulled up, and she begins researching*
(Open, limited)

-
[b]the tapping of fingernails. No, claws. Is heard in the room and then tapping of a foot. A woman's voice is heard[/b] "And what exactly are you doing?"
-
"Research. And what are you doing in [i]my[/i] laboratory?" *A quiet hum, like an engine starting up comes from the far corner of the lab*
-
"And is that how you should talk to the CEO of the company?"
-
"Only if they would care to knock." *The chair swivels, and she smirks at the Gekel standing in the entryway to the lab* "How have you been? Been a bit boring without you." *Her golden eyes flash, then a Gekel takes her place in the seat*
-
"Good, I had to deal with some political stuff because of the former owner of Sawyer space corps."
-
"Former?" *The Gekel in the chair grins a toothy grin* "Fascinating. Do tell more. Oh, where are my manners? Do take a seat." *A wave of its massive hand, and a chair similar to its own drops out of the ceiling next to it, and it moves over next to the doorway. Ripples fill the air around the seated Gekel and the woman sits in the chair once again*
-
[b]Alexis sits down and smiles[/b] "This man, he attacked the al'sni empire and their allies in a suicide attempt. It worked. His sister now owns the company."
-
"Many congratulations to her then. So, I suspect you have a different reason than just idle chat to enter my lair." *She toothily grins, the Gekel expression unnatural on a human face*
-
"I need some information about weapons, some of the handheld arcline cannons aren't working well. What could be the problem?"
-
"Define: not working well." *She leans back, reaching over to type on a holo-screen a bit* "Is it overheating? Is it just not firing? Or is it violently exploding after a few shots?"
-
"They cycle through all of those."
-
"Shit. Now that is a real problem. If it was just one of them, I would just tweak the core cycler to dump the excess energy, but with what you said, I'll have to do a full re-design of the core itself.... Wait!!!" *She flips a holo-screen up while breaking into a grin* "Instead of an entire overhaul... Maybe we should tweak the loop converter and use it to dump the heat then convert it into more energy!! Hah!!!"
-
"That sounds like a great idea! Can you get on that right now?"
-
"Already am. Got 10 models already in processing, and got 10 about to undergo modification. Anything else, boss? Want a trip in the new and improved ATCV?" *She waves a hand at a corner of the lab and the lights brighten slowly until what looks to be like an oversized hover-tank sits on the far side of the lab* "Finally got the hover design to work, so now she can now get 75 mph on flat ground, and around 50 over most terrain. Handles like a dream. You see those two railguns on the side? Both of them can punch straight through a mountain and keep going. The armor was tricky though, had to make it lightweight [i]and[/i] crazy strong. And that is where an old contact came through. Care to guess what's the outside is layered in?"
-
"I would prefer to hear it come from you. It probably sounds better if you say it."
-
"CARBON PLATING!!!! Hahahaha!!!! I love the stuff!!! As flexible as paper, has about the half the weight of the same amount of steel. And get this, if you hit it with something, the contact area turns to pure diamond!!!" *She leans back, cackling in glee* "It's a bitch to manufacture, but it's worth it!!!"
-
"This is going to make allot of money for the company, I think you deserve a good raise."
-
Edited by TwiggierTiger22: 11/20/2015 3:32:09 AM"A raise would be nice, yes, but I was thinking of something more of a celestial body solely for developing, experimenting, and testing. Translation? I want a moon or a small planet where I can blow up shit in the most creative ways possible." *She grins and pulls up a holo-keyboard, holo-screens surrounding her in the blink of an eye* "Just a fantasy though, a raise is more than enough. Just make sure to let me out of this think-tank every once in a while, alright?" *Across the screens runs number, models, even a couple of what looks like live feeds of the gun range as well* "Now, I'm going to get to work. Feel free to wander around. Most of the lab is safe. I think."
-
"You know what, you deserve it. I'll get a nice moon for you to ruin."
-
"And in exchange, I'll build you some of the most powerful weapons I can. I will stop at systematic destruction though. That amount to genocide in my book." [spoiler]Systematic destruction: weapons that destroy planetary systems. Look up "Sun Crusher" if you want something similar.[/spoiler] *She continues typing, then looks up* "Anything else you need? I'm free until live tests start."
-
[spoiler]oh boy, sounds fun[/spoiler] "Nothing really, unless you want to talk some more."
-
"Got anything good on the gossip channels?"
-
"No, I've been to busy lately to know anything worth knowing."
-
"Ah, then it appears we are in the same boat."
-
"Yup, what are you looking at anyway?"
