*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*

@Audacious

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

*Places the proper materials in the machine*

@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.

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

@Audacious

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

Myriad Reality

<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*

@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*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

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

@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*

*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*

@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*

You said your suits can teleport you here, right?

@Malevocholy

That's true... but I don't exactly want to bet my life on that if I can help it.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

That's not necessary. My job is to keep you two safe; as long as you two don't get defeated, I shouldn't need to fight.

@Malevocholy

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

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Fills the container to the brim and seals it tightly, nodding to myself*

@Audacious

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

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

I think you'll be pleased with the result, but for now I can't say.

@Malevocholy

Alrighty. Do you need a suit too?

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Takes the device and turns it over in my hand, inspecting it while looking for an extraction point from the tank*

@Audacious

*The tank has a nozzle that fits the device to its exact proportions*
