HCL 2: Twisted tinkers' triumph

the dwarf finds that the crank didn't actually require strength, just people to crank it. The scientists find that the Data stored in the ship's systems will actually still take a good week to decode despite the new technology however that is much better than the years it had been taking the teams to acheive. Once the data is set to decode in the background, they're all moved over to the experimentation teams which are begining on attempting to acheive some form of electricity, starting with replicating the kinetic generator which is only lacking wires and something to test whether or not it was working like a battery with a capacity level display

The scientists actually find the basement to lead to a large, subterranian excavation of a remarkably advanced space ship with two teams of scientists working to decode the data in the banks which is written in a foreign language, requiring it to be translated to binary and then into their language which takes time more than anything, while the other teams is attempting to recreate the experiments detailed in the already decoded data which ranges from gunpowder, to bio fuel based on local fruits, to computers, to laser based production technology. The entire place seems to actually run off the ship's emergency kinetic reactors which basically means that there's four teams of women constantly turning a crank to keep the entire place lit up and functioning while the fusion reactor that functioned as the ship's main power source had degraded beyond repair as well as run out of fuel though luckilly the casing hadn't been damaged. Though, strangly, women tended to be the ones doing the heavy lifting and hard manual labor as well as leading the research and experimentation teams while the males were just regulated to errands, busy work, and getting in those hard to reach places

After a good hour and a half, the woman returns with another three carts with crates upon crates stacked within, knocking at the door opening with complete confidence this time

She doesn't.

The scientists are greeted by a morose looking female that seems to be rather stressed and overworked. "alright. you lot are to head downstairs and assist with the decoding" she says, pointing at half of them before turning to the other half "and you lot are to help with the recreation experiments downstairs"

"very well, however this wasn't in the contract so i'll have to tell the high general of this once i return" she replies evenly before taking them back with her, leaving the crates behind. After a good hour of walking, the clones arrive at the city, the carts handed over to the guards before the woman shows them to what looks to be the tinker/alchemy block with a large house at the end that she points them towards before heading, presumably, to the high general that had brokered the deal

"ah, good. this is the fruit as promised, the grain will arrive an hour later due to the harvests finishing ahead of schedule, rather than three hours later" she replies evenly, her confidence growing when she sees all of the people before her are male and she towers over them despite being quite lithe

"very well, i'll have the shipment of grain there by late afternoon after the shipment of fruit has arrived, and returned with the scientists agreed upon" the high general replies evenly, showing them the way to the gate since the streets, while quite organized, were foreign to them.

After a few hours, a rather spindly Sergal arrives with three carts loaded with crates upon crates piled up before knocking at the ship's opening and fixing her hair, visibly nervous to anyone manning the cctv

"such an odd medicine that must be... it heals alot faster than our current mixture. Mikhain! try tossing the current mixture in" the high general replies, a rather small male in a green robe comeing up to retrieve the green poultice, bowing as he leaves before returning with a cyan mixture and a knife. The high general then grabs both, stabbing through his hand and the underside of his armor and then carving along his arm, blood spurting before he takes the cyan mixture and applies it, the wound healing near instantly, as his face remains impassive despite mangling his arm and applying something direct to it. "good, catalouge the results and add it to the recipe vault" he tells the servant evenly, the male leaving with the knife after handing off a towel so the high general could clean his armor. "if you wish, i'm sure there is a merchant in the trade block that could sell you some armor, though, don't expect anything along the same lines as my own" The high general says evenly

"thank you as well. i included the location of the agreed land, as well as the name of the captain that will show it to you. she'll arrive within the next week. you're welcome to stay at my home until then" the high general replies as he shakes solaire's hand, his grip so tight it actually crunches his hand nearly off and crumples the armor despite it's fortification. "forgive me... i was not aware of how weak your armor was" the high general says evenly, having one of the gardener's fetch a general topical poultice and bandage

@supertinyking

"again, i'm going to have to say no to the hair, drool, or blood. we're the hosts, and we have our customs as well. i ask that you respect them" the high general replies, signing before handing the slip over along with the quill

@supertinyking

The high general appears rather unimpressed as he asks "the scientists, workers, and assitance with current projects will be enough for the land and food you ask for. anything else?" as he amends the contract to include everything as he stated, adding small lines for each party to sign on
