Sub-header HLE"[/color] [color=#9c9c9e]"More secret projects, sir?"[/color] [color=#148e67]"You know it. Establish link to McCarthy Compound."[/color] [color=#9c9c9e]"Encrypted link established."[/color] [color=#148e67]"Sort this onto my personal drive."[/color] [color=#9c9c9e]"Yes sir."[/color] [color=#148e67]"Ok. Give me an exploded view, side-by-side with editor."[/color] [i][color=#7ece73]/A holographic, dissected view of a cylindrical object gave the dimly lit room a little more light and paints Quinn's already-pale face an odd shade of teal. A small capsule-sized object gave off soft red pulses of red light on Quinn's desk, an indication that the object is working as intended. Quinn checks his beat-up, but still expensive, wristwatch, noting the time. /[/color][/i] [color=#148e67]"Did we ever decide on a metal compound to use?"[/color] [color=#9c9c9e]"Last note on metal compound states 'Tungsten carbide with graphene inlays. Copper-Graphene compound used for electrical wiring components with carbon-ceramic compound as heat shield and tri-sillica as insulation."[/color] [color=#148e67]"Mmmm..."[/color] [i][color=#7ece73]/Quinn's hands weaved in and out of the holographic image, moving bits and pieces of the illustration around as if he was playing with a Lego set. /[/color][/i] [color=#148e67]"Sub gold for copper for wiring components. Test viability."[/color] [color=#9c9c9e]"Yes sir."[/color] [color=#9c9c9e]"Compound viable. Expensive. But viable."[/color] [color=#148e67]"Does it increase efficiency?"[/color] [color=#9c9c9e]"Yes. By fifteen percent. Cost-Efficiency coefficient under optimal threshold."[/color] [color=#148e67]"Hmm. Log that, switch back to copper for the time being."[/color] [color=#9c9c9e]"Yes sir."[/color] [color=#148e67]"Ok. Fabricate scaled down model. Arrange transport to test site twelve."[/color] [color=#9c9c9e]"Yes sir. Approximate time to completion is fifteen hours."[/color] [color=#148e67]"Good. Close current file and open file for Compound B Five One Five."[/color] [color=#9c9c9e]"File closed and encrypted. File opened."[/color] [color=#148e67]"Ok. Show graphic chemical model."[/color] [color=#9c9c9e]"Projection shown. Sir, may I remind you, it is time."[/color] [color=#148e67]"Mmm. Thank you."[/color] [i][color=#7ece73]/Quinn reached into his zipped hoodie pocket and brought out a small pill case. He pressed his thumb to the pill case and it gave his thumb a microscopic, almost undetectable, prick before offering a soft click. In it, Quinn took out two tablets. One was an unnatural blue and the other was a deep crimson. Quinn popped both into his mouth and washed them down with a small gulp of water. /[/color][/i] [color=#148e67]"Ok. What was the efficiency ratings the last time we looked at this?"[/color] [color=#9c9c9e]"Burn rate was seventy percent. Carbon production was five percent over acceptable parameters. Weight ratio was sixty to one."[/color] [color=#148e67]"Tsk. Have we tried to sub out the liquid oxygen for...lets say nitromethane and it's various compounds?"[/color] [color=#9c9c9e]"Yes. Last notes on reagent composition states 'Shit is too explosive. Disregard. Switch back.' "[/color] [color=#148e67]"Heh. Fair enough. Ok. What if we paired the micro arc-loop to provide stable energy while the liquid oxygen provides initial thrust?"[/color] [color=#9c9c9e]"Testing viability."[/color] [color=#9c9c9e]"Combination is viable. Burn rate remains at seventy percent. Carbon production is now within acceptable parameter. Weight ratio is fifty five to one."[/color] [color=#148e67]"Mmm... Thrust production?"[/color] [color=#9c9c9e]"Initial thrust remains stable with liquid oxygen as first-stage thrust producer. Ongoing thrust and flight properties reduced by eight percent. Peak speed can be considered hyper-sonic. Friction heat increased by zero point zero three percent."[/color] [color=#148e67]"Mmm... Ok. Formulate and send to test site twelve as well."[/color] [color=#9c9c9e]"Yes sir. Completion time is eight hours."[/color] [color=#148e67]"Ok. Close project and encrypt."[/color] [color=#9c9c9e]"Yes sir."[/color] [color=#148e67]"Alright. Meeting time I guess. Vikki, log off and enable mobile."[/color] [color=#9c9c9e]"Yes sir."[/color] [i][color=#7ece73]/The screen Quinn had been staring at, and the holographic projector, both turned off. The room returned to a dimly lit state with warm lighting. Quinn adjusted his wristwatch, worn on his left wrist, and tapped the very standard looking mass produced health tracker band on his right wrist. The health wearable showed a dash of blue light before displaying the words "Hello Sir. Mobile enabled. Encryption established." Quinn then rolled his sleeves down, covering both items on his wrists. Grabbing his thermos filled with now-somewhat stale but still warm coffee, Quinn stepped out of his quiet little workroom and headed to the scheduled meeting. It would seem like he was second to arrive, next to Reforge. As he entered the room, he would just give the other hero a small nod as he took his seat, leaning back like a student going to class. The room literally felt like one of those subliminal space horror games. Fluorescent lighting, off-beige color scheme. Coffee that probably was brewed fresh but then stored in a office carafe pump thing that has a slick patch of slime at the bottom because no one ever cared to actually clean it. Even the air was slightly stale. Quinn sighed as he leaned back in his seat, causing his chair to squeak slightly. Just great. /[/color][/i]
