[color=f49ac2]"Huh?"[/color] Brunhillde looked up from her play-do creation. [color=f49ac2]"O-oh, y-yes, of course! Right away, sir!"[/color] Though she had been playing with the food in her plate, she had somehow absorbed the gist of the conversation. Some people were worried about food: so Brunhillde was starting to formulate plans to make a hothouse. Some people were going to explore: so Brunhillde would plan to send some of Omniac's mini-robot insects to tag along and keep everyone in the same channel of communication. Some people talked about trade: so Brunhillde was already thinking about forms of transportation. If physics were real now, could she make trains? Planes? The possibilities were endless, and with magic to give things a push, who knew what wonders she could create?

[color=f49ac2]"I will report my findings as soon as I get them!"[/color] Brunhillde stood up quickly, causing her chair to scrape the floor, [color=f49ac2]"Oh, and those of you heading out, I'll send one of Omniac's scoutflies your way soon. Not sure if private messaging still works, but we can use Omniac's swarm network like walkie-talkies."[/color] Giddy, she headed down to her forge.

[color=f49ac2]"Omniac!"[/color] Brunhillde called out upon entering her forge.

[color=a187be]"Yes mistress? What do you require of me?"[/color] Mythos Biblios Omniac boomed, rising upon creaking limbs to stand at attention.

Since that line was something Brunhillde had programmed as a common response, she didn't think much of it. [color=f49ac2]"Send a few of your scouts up to Kira, Merius, and Nebuchi. Oh and send one to Lord Overzealous and one to Lady Tea. Repeat everything that is said."[/color]

[color=a187be]"Affirmative,"[/color] Omniac opened its massive, enameled steel wing covers and released a few miniature versions of itself that flew out to their respective targets.

Turning to her forge, Brunhillde cracked her knuckles in excitement. She picked up an iron rod and threw it on the fire, pumping the bellows. The iron rod became red hot almost instantly, and Brunhillde wondered if this was due to her level as a blacksmith or the the fact that she was using a super-high-quality forge. Using some tongs to run the iron rod through the coals, she continued to pump the bellows to refine the iron to steel, by incorporating just enough carbon and using the air to burn off any excess. Though she knew it in principle, she had no real knowledge of how to actually blacksmith in real life, but her body seemed to move on muscle memory, certainly a result of her levels in the skill. Taking the bar out, she picked up a hammer and started having at. Clearly something inside her was taking over as she artfully pounded the metal, using force and finesse as necessary. Soon she was dunking the blade in water and polishing it off. Inspecting her work, it was just about where she wanted it to be. In her mind she recalled using her blacksmithing to craft a 'level 10 sword', so this time, she kept her mind focused on creating a sword of 'that level of quality'. Lo and behold, a weapon fit for a rookie, but not for a complete newbie. Still it seemed that autocrafting may not be a thing anymore, since she did have to stand here and go through all the motions. Or did she?

Looking at her gauntlets, Brunhillde desperately wanted to try something. [color=f49ac2]"ANIMATE WEAPON!"[/color] A loud din of steel followed as tongs, hammers, and various other tools in the smithy flew up to attention. Back when this was still a game, all animated weapons could be expected to do were to follow simple, guard, follow, and attack commands. But could she set these up to automate forging?
