Helping the War Effort

[indy_wannabe]

1. Action, around Union in the general vicinity of Gilgamesh Wulfenbach's Workshop

Throughout the day, a duo (and by duo we mean "pretty much only Ezreal") have been moving back and forth between the workshop and any number of other areas. He can usually be seen carrying large and rather heavy looking loads of scrap. Ancient Golem the Tyranitar, Dragon the Charizard and Vilemaw the Metagross have unfortunately also been conscripted to assist, and none of them seem to be in a particularly good mood about that, judging by the low, constant stream of bitching and swears coming from Ezreal's mouth as he carries and inevitably drops the large pallets

2. Action, inside Gilgamesh Wulfenbach's Workshop

Later that night, the door has been flung open, likely due to the immense heat emanating from the workshop. Ungodly sounds, banging, clanking, drilling, and the occasional explosion can be heard, as well as the occasional explosion of human voices

"No you can NOT set the drill frequency that high! You'll melt the rock straight into the cockpit you moron!"

3. Video

Gilgamesh stood before a massive, vaguely cylindrical shape under a cloth cover. He cleared his throat before speaking.

"If we are to be fighting underground, then we should take heed to remember that our battles are not limited to a mere two dimensions. Nor should we limit ourselves to the tunnels that already exist. To that end, I have built a device that will offer our forces considerable tactical advantage. BEHOLD!"

He ripped aside the covering to reveal what looked like a giant metal can, with a horrifying array of drill bits attached to one end and spiked tank treads running along the sides.

"My tunneling engine is fully capable of boring through ten yards of solid granite in an hour, allowing us to strike at Gigas's forces from just about anywhere in the tunnel network. The main compartment holds up to six people. And if the passengers are carrying some of Ms. Ryuuko's pokeballs, that can turn into a sizeable raiding party quite quickly.

With the power of SCIENCE on our side, Gigas' defeat is inevitable!"

He didn't even look up, being too focused on welding something together.

"It's the biggest open space we have in this thing for disposing of loose stone. We'll just shunt it through there and out the back. What's the problem?"

[indy_wannabe]

"Humans typically can't breath molten rock."

[schmott_guy]

"Human's can't- What?"

He put down the welder as this rather obvious thought infiltrated his forebrain.

"Oh right. Passengers."

[indy_wannabe]

"Yes. Niggling little detail, that."

[schmott_guy]

"And people reacted badly the last time I suggested heat resistant sub-dermal composite plating."

Why does everyone have to be so unreasonable?

"Okay, then if we make channels down the outside of the main housing, we should be able to direct the rock behind us. It won't be as fast, though."

2, because someone has to look out for these idiots.

[ Mr. Wulfenbach you have a visitor, whether you like it or not.

Although you might, because it appears that she has food that she had no personal hand in making. She knocks on the door, then, hearing the unearthly noises coming from inside, uses her forearm to bang on it.

Then shakes it a bit, because ow that really hurt. Gil get a doorbell, seriously. ]

[indy_wannabe]

[And from within the workshop, a familiar voice]

Oy! Gil! Door!

1/2

[schmott_guy]

Hey Zoing, get the door.

[Too busy lathing to answer door.]

[schmott_guy]

[A bit later, the door handle rattles for a bit before popping open. The figure greeting Lux is not quite three feet tall, only has one eye, and is too swathed in bright orange clothes to make out any of its other features. It looked up at her and made a sound that was almost English.]

Hoozit?

[ladyofluminosity]

[ She recognized that voice, even if she could hardly make it out through the noise.

Expecting Gil to answer, Lux is surprised when she doesn't see anyone open the door. Looking around, she only notices Zoing when it speaks. ]

Huh? Oh!

[ She takes a few steps back, holding up the bag. ]

Ah, I brought something for Ezreal and Gil. I figured that they haven't eaten yet.

[schmott_guy]

Gimee.

[Zoing held out both...hmm, it appears to have lobster style claws instead of hands.]

[lunchleader]

Whooooah, that's amazing!

...and almost as crazy as some of the stuff that one crazy Council Engineer cranks out.

[Gil, you might know who Right's referring to here.]

[schmott_guy]

["That one crazy Council Engineer"]

...Councilor Wulfenbach?

[lunchleader]

Yeah, that guy!

So, what's your name?

[schmott_guy]

Gilgamesh Wulfenbach.

[lunchleader]

Wow, what a mouthful to say--

2/2

[lunchleader]

[Thankfully, it doesn't take very long for his brain to make the connection]

Ehhhh?! You're that guy's son?!

[Gil's workshop isn't all that far from Lucca's own, and the sounds of it are enough to draw her attention away from her own work. Because at least she knew how to dampen sounds. And...was that a wood saw?

Without bothering to knock, she just waltzes in, a Rotomcycle whining to a halt as Swinedimple follows.]

Gil! What the hell are you doing making all this racket?!

[schmott_guy]

Hold that thought.

Also, EYES!

[That warning given, Gil pulls a switch and there's an eye searing light.]

[sparkofgenius]

What...oh!

[Lucca throws up a hand and turns away in time but when the flash fades...]

What are you doing?!

[schmott_guy]

[The light faded, and an entire panel was simultaneously welded along all sides into place. Gil took a moment to inspect it.]

Not bad, not bad at all. That should hold nicely.

[Oh right, people.]

I'm winning us the war! Or helping, anyways.

[video] 3! hope a late tag in is ok!

[punchesyu]

You're seriously gunna use that thing to invade Sanctuary?

[Wow that...that looks like something else.]

[video] 3! hope a late tag in is ok!

[indy_wannabe]

Hell yes we're gonna use it!

[video]

[punchesyu]

Uh, yeah, that's totally not inconspicuous or anything.

Re: [video]

[indy_wannabe]

It's intended to bust through the ground at high speeds. Conspicuous isn't really a concern.
