Wouldn't being defeated imply that we're dea—er, not safe?

You said your suits can teleport you here, right?

*PaMDA highlights a path to a rapid fabrication system with a holographic projection that allows you to model your weapon in 3D space*

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Looks at the display in awe*
Not my specialty, but if we have the means for tools to help me do a little more than just a rudimentary weapon, then I’ve got an idea…
*Starts to spend a little time playing with the projections*

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*The display gives you a wide range of options from custom scripting languages to design the part programmatically, to hand-molding pieces, to drag-and-drop design modules*

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Yeah, no thanks on the coding jargon.
*Opts to play around with the more tactile options instead*

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*It opens an interface with hundreds of pre-designed microcomponents with color-coded inputs and outputs that can be chained together to achieve the desired effect, with a library of example builds*

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Spends several minutes piecing things together and figuring out how to arrange things the way I want with the options provided*

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*When the device is in functioning order, a green "Forge" button lights in the corner of the interface, and an override option exists in the settings*

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Spins the object around, giving it another once over, before nodding to myself and initializing the assembly*

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*PaMDA overlays a blue indicator over the material transfer device and the forge near the interface*

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Places the proper materials in the machine*

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

PaMDA: Place approximately 95% of the shards in the highlighted receptacle unit. Because these materials are non-standard sizes, the device may jam. If the device jams, force the receptacle shut. Then place the remaining shards in the seed receptacle below the device, and activate the forge.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Takes the bowl of shards and pours it into the receptacle, shaking a small amount more out before stopping the remainder with my free hand, then steps back*

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*The device attempts to automatically close but then opens again*

<Snipped quote by Legend>

You called it.
*Steps forward and presses the receptacle's lid down, holding it closed, then leans down to find the aforementioned seed receptacle before stretching over and reinitializing it, making an effort to not let go of the lid*

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*The device vibrates with a mechanical grinding noise, but eventually settles*

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Keeps watch for a completion prompt*

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*The device lights up and applies a powerful magnetic field within itself, and the air around the machine is visibly distorted by the field, creating currents in circular patterns around the rim of the forge; the metal shielding also drops, revealing a small spiral at the base of the unit where the smaller proportion of shards were held, and the shards within the main body of the forge all shoot into the air, evenly distributed in the shape of your creation*

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Magic...
*Pulls what seems to be a basic quarterstaff made from the material from the device, spinning it around and planting its base at my side, which reveals that the top of the weapon has a round, bulbous tip at the other end, with grooves clearly indicating hidden mechanisms therein*
