hey vision i have a project i wanna work on but i am a security person and not an engineering person so i think i need some help but charles was telling me there are beaches here and i remember how much fun we had on the beach on that one planet and i think it is very sad that he hasn't gotten to go to the beach because sand is bad for wheelchairs and it's very important to me that he should be able to get around on his own that's important just trust me so is there some kind of repulsorlift or antigrav system we could temporarily rig for him you think well honestly a proper float chair would be better than some temporary thing but i don't know what's possible maybe the other option is to put together a temporary boardwalk to get him out on the beach he said floating around sounds kind of scary but i think that's cause he's not imagining it right a good repulsorlift system is very combat stable and not at all wobbly he'd feel like he was on solid ground anyway so i dunno if this is feasible but what do you think???

like i know i am not an engineering person but if you think we could put something together i think i could still help because i know how to properly balance and use hoverlift and repulsorlift systems and plus i can put all my credits into it so maybe that counts for something hm and you know what erik also is an engineer i wonder if he'd be willing to help...

That's an excellent idea, Wrath.

The main barrier to something along those lines would be power. This planet isn't particularly well-equipped with technology, so finding a battery or the materials to build one would necessarily be a priority. It should be simple to allow it to recharge from the ships' engines; they produce more than enough energy.

Personally, I'm more familiar with repulsor lifts than with anti-gravity, as the one is what most of Mr. Stark's robots use and the other is only theoretical to my time.

if we get the design in we can always upgrade the power system or whatever later if we get to a planet that has better stuff but yeah just something that he can plug into the ship or whatever overnight would still be a bit help just gotta make sure it's got a backup and a power meter so he doesn't end up stranded somewhere

the big concern i have with repulsorlift is that it tends to be noisier, though i think if it's just a single person load and we're talking max elevation of like one meter and max velocity of maybe 14kph that shouldn't have to be too bad though the repulsorlifts i worked at before tended to have much more squirrely steering but on the other hand if that's all we can do that's all we can do and i'm a big fan of not letting the perfect be the enemy of the get shit done

Yes, redundancy with a nonpowered backup would be ideal. I'll make a rough diagram of the design for now. Do you know if Erik has found any metal deposits? Otherwise we may need to make the prototype's frame of wood, what with its abundance.

Yes, that's the kind I'm familiar with as well. I'll ask Mr. Stark if he has any alternate suggestions. Antigravity might be a fun challenge, but it will be faster to start with what I know.

i'll ask him since he'd be the guy to know if we can't do metal wood frame would do for now and then again replace and upgrade later

work in progress then i think it's more important to get him the mobility first as long as it's safe and reliable and then we can see about improving it as we go along and i'll throw all my credits into this as we move on so that will hopefully help (just don't tell charles that cause he'll probably be all dumb about it)

I'd appreciate it, thank you.

I agree. Perhaps some of the chemicals still in stock from the moon can be used for an initial battery source. Or might you know someone else with a magical ability that might help? My ability to float only affects myself, I'm afraid.

the only people with magic i know do healing dunno man that shit is all fucked up and next level give me engineering any day

[As useful as magic can be, deep down he feels similarly.]

It's not all bad - the fox park in the Iskaulit has snow thanks to magic. For something like this I'd prefer to trust science, though.

I'll sketch some initial designs soon.

yeah i also don't know if you can get magic stuff and science to work together right like i don't know anything about magic at all at least i kind of know that tech is a thing and works even if i don't know how here i did a few drawings of the basic specs for some of the float chairs i looked at in case that helps

[Several very neat line drawings with the parts labeled, though Wrath's handwriting is terrible.]

Yes, I suppose it would depend on what type of energy manipulation they categorize as "magic". The type I'm familiar with, if my brief acquaintance can constitute familiarity, wouldn't preclude the use of technology.

[In Wrathspeak, please.]

That is to say, it ought to work, but it would be worth testing first if we can find someone to help.

how about we save the magic for if you engineer guys can't figure it out [If it was just for her, she wouldn't mind, but this is for Charles and she wants to make sure it's safe.]

That seems fair enough. I'll draw up several preliminary plans and see what can be found in the marketplace as far as supplies, though I don't expect too much.

i'll do all the line drawings i can of everything i remember and send them to you tomorrow

[Which for the record, she does.]

Thank you, Wrath.

[He'll use them effectively!!]
