[Robo is trying to fix a depressurized hallway. It seems someone blasted a hole in the wall right out into space. Space suits are for people who have to worry about breathing.

Unfortunately, his com is short rage broadcasting due to interference. So his thoughts are not internal.]

I told people it's a bad idea to let everyone walked around armed all day. Seriously, keep your heavy firepower to your rooms so all you compromise is your own safety!

This is Robo. Whoever is piloting that ship, come in. You have something on your hull that you might want to know about.



[3 | Network Com]


Okay, who stole the lightning gun? Whoever did it can return it to my room, no questions asked. Whatever you do, don't shoot it. You're likely to stop your own heart. It isn't equipped for use by those with a pulse.

Oh, and whatever you do, don't turn it up past 3. If you do, I'll find you a lot easier. By you, I mean the burn out hallway and whatever is left of you.

You know, people would probably trust you more if all your inventions weren't hideous death traps.

"Some people still think small gun equals small bang." [Jack's voice comes through the comm. He can be seen peering through the viewport on the other side of the safety wall that is temporarily cutting off the damaged section of hallway.]

"My kingdom for somebody who can actually tell the difference between their blaster pistols."

[square_cubelaw]

The lightning gun is only a death trap to those who are not supposed to be using it. And you know what could prevent legitimate experiments from being death traps? Reading warning labels, not bypassing safety procedures and leaving things alone.

[Hey, company. Even if it is through the com in his head.]

"Honestly, I'd love to punch whoever issues these things."

"Maybe it's some misguided plan for population control. Give dangerous weaponry to people without training."

[This is going to take him a while. Even with tools, this ship is far beyond the range of his experience. So it's more a learning experience than general maintenance.]

[calibratedangel]

Legitimate experiments.


A gun that wildly shoots lightning everywhere.

You know, sometimes it seems that your experiments are less engineering based and more sociology based. Population control maybe.

[square_cubelaw]

Let's call it literacy training.

You don't point the gun at something smaller than sky scraper and you don't pull the trigger if you're not a robot. If you can't read the instructions, then you really shouldn't have touched it to begin with.

[calibratedangel]

Have you ever tried not being an ass to everyone you interact with? I hear it's a wonderful new way to try and get people to listen to you.

[square_cubelaw]

I'm only an ass to those who are dumb enough to question my intelligence.

Seriously, did I step on your toe or something in the hallway, or what?

[calibratedangel]

My skin's mostly metal. I'm a little sensitive about people who make lightning guns.

[square_cubelaw]

Well, don't try to enslave a planet or end one, and you won't have to worry about me pointing my gun at you.

I know, it sounds simple. But you wouldn't believe how many people can't contain themselves.
