godbent | 10th: The Advances of Haruhi Suzumiya

[Voice // Filtered to the SOS-Brigade // 85% Unhackable]

[This morning finds Haruhi sitting on her porch (of House 10) holding a set of dice in her hand before school. She found them last night, and it helped spawn an idea in her head. She's rolling the dice idly on the ground, so anyone is of course free to run into her before then, but-]

Alright Brigade, listen up! In my infinite wisdom I've devised our next scheme. Some people might have been saying "SOS-Brigade, what do they do?" for a while now, and we've been losing a few members here and there besides, but no more! In fact, this new one's going to hit everyone clear out of the park and top everything we've ever done before!

You notice how everyone has been going "oh it's so boring" or "what do you do for fun" and stuff like that? Well, we're going to show them what we do for fun: the SOS-Brigade is going to construct a games house, a gambling den, a casino! Pachinko, slots, poker, blackjack, roulette, craps, showgirls, minibars, we're going to set all of that up and have it operational before the summer begins!

Any objections can be submitted to me once opening night for our new casino happens. In the meantime, we'll be hammering out the details at today's meeting. It's about time we made our name immortal!

[The meeting is assumed, but any insights you think your character might point out/that you want to point out you can show us all here, please]

[Voice // Action]

Hey Luceti! This is your special chance to do a favor for the one and only SOS-Brigade. We're in need of all of the following, so any takers should step forth now! We require: A skilled martial artist, a mathematician, a mechanic who doesn't already work at the smithy, some big meat head - preferably six or more feet tall, a representative from the bar, someone who can fly, someone skilled at hair-care, a skilled massager, a geneticist, anyone who can walk on water and... a hacker, preferably a space-age one.

[Also if you want to find for for action, this evening sees Haruhi going out to outside of House 10 where she's set up some dummies and practicing her martial arts on them. She's good, but she feels sorely out of practice - her muscles aren't keeping up with her brain, and the results are frustrating]

[She confesses she's mildly impressed. To herself. But out loud:] ...Okay, looking at that, it's some sort of ray or projectile or something, right? Can you make anything useful?

It's a fontech gun. [Idiot girl. He growls quietly, glaring at the pages of his journal. What is it with people and ticking him off lately?] And every thing I make is useful! I'm the best fontechnician on my entire planet!

[That's not an exaggeration. It's fact.]

If your looking for people to work for you, girl, you'd best show a bit more respect!

And a gun isn't useful to anyone right now, is it? If I wanted a firearm I could just break into the Smithy and jack one there - there has to be at least one or two sidearms sitting around. It's not like I'm looking to assassinate anyone or-

[...But wait, he has a point. Weird voice aside, this person does seem to be an adult. She cuts herself off, sighing]

-If you're talking about fon-things, that must mean you're form Auldrant, right? I'm not looking for military grade equipment, I need more practical and civilian machines. I'm not doubting your talent, just wondering if you can do something outside a weapons-field.

[Dist clenches his teeth and is on the very brink of exploding at his journal for a second time today, but thankfully, this idiot girl has some sense in that head of hers to actually get down to business. Small miracles.]

Yes, I'm skilled in all fields when it pertains to fonic technology. It's my area of expertise, and I can create various types of machinery from assault bots to maintenance robots and smaller artifacts as well. I've done some work with lesser mechanic toys here some time ago, but with the necessarily metals and supplies, I can create a large array of machinery.

I was also the first to effectively use flightstone technology for my own use before it was even founded by other, so-called experts back on Auldrant.

[Boasting? Oh, you bet he is.]

Okay, but have you adapted to working without [She stumbles on a word here. She's got no idea if "fon technology" uses it or not, but it's probably worth checking- oh right] fonons? I was under the impression that there aren't any in the air here? Or are there some and you can work with them?

[And now Dist's smile vanishes, replaced with a frustrated scowl. It's not at Haruhi, just the situation he was presented with in accordance to his work.] There are fonons here, just very, very little. It's been weeks forthcoming, but I believe I've developed a mechanism to amplify - perhaps even replicate - the ones present here, and to gather them together for fuel.

It really depends, however, on what it is you want me to create. For now, that mechanism is only present in my small firearm, so I believe you need a different model...one that actually does the job you want. For which I'll need information on. [A pause.] As well as the reasoning for creating such machines.

[He's not backing down from that.]

[Okay, so something small - a slot machine might be too much, a pachinko machine will definitely be too much, and she has electric lights regardless because of Leon's symbols so long as she hassles him. She makes a quick little hum, and then considers her side projects]

What about an engine - a simple propeller system, like for a boat?

[Dist just scoffs, and raises his head up, crossing his legs as he leans back in his chair again.]

Child's play. [Many of his fonbots had propellers to fly with, and Auldrant does have small fontech motor boats.] But you didn't answer my question, child. I won't make a thing if I believe it to be unfit of someone of my esteemed status and skill. I'm not charitable with my talents, you see.

...Do you listen to yourself talk?

I had thought to use you for my new secret project, but as it stands I should have the tech angle for that covered. Thus, for someone with your abilities I'm going to make you the only one working on a different undertaking altogether. Namely, the construction of a seafaring motor-boat to make use of out in that new ocean by this summer.

[...A pause] And/or a submarine, if you can pull that off.
