[b]Hampus the Red, Meta-Ridley's Ship's Engine's Control Room's Main Console Bay[/b]

Keeping the engine safe was actually [i]really[/i] easy. In fact, it was downright [i]boring![/i] Hampus supposed that that entire horror story the chief engineer gave him was just an attempt to keep Hampus alert. As the seconds became minutes became hours, Hampus felt himself drifting away to sleep. The rhythmic, soothing hum of the engine alongside the oppressive heat of the room beat away at Hampus' already-pathetic constitution. He needed to take his mind off the engine, but how...?

A thought crossed his mind. With a couple flourishes of his hand, he summoned a set of elemental motes. Fire, Fire, Arcane, Arcane, Arcane, Shield all orbited around his head, glowing softly and weighing down his body. Pressing his hands to his head, the motes all disappeared. Hampus' body now glowed with a light red color, and a small double set of hexagons of the same color now surrounded him and a radius of eighteen feet around him. All of a sudden, Hampus no longer felt so hot and the loudly-humming consoles had quieted down. In fact, they appeared to be running at a significantly more efficient rate! Though he didn't know it yet, his basic fire-resistance shield had the additional effect of turning the conductive materials around him into [i]super[/i]conductors!
