Open Call for Busted Stuff

Got any busted electronics? Maybe some old crap you don't use or want anymore? If so, come on down to Uncle Forge's Toyland where I will, for a fee of a Highly Caffeinated Beverage, either restore your old electronics to full functionality or, if you'd just as soon get rid of it, make sure it gets recycled and disposed of properly.

Uncle Forge's Toyland is currently located in the Mech-E Lab. Signs are posted where they need to be or you can just ask the directory where I am.

EDIT: Uncle Forge can also dispose of secured electronic devices safely and securely, if you're of the professionally or personally or both paranoid mindset.

I've got a specific project I need to run past you when we've both got some free time. Maybe two. I've shared my calendar with you, let me know which of my free times match up and I'll come down to talk a little shop.

And I'll see if Doug's still got any of that old tech we had to use in Vegas. Some's only good for parts or scrap, but since we never know when we might need some older stuff we might as well keep the functioning bits doing just that.

Looks like we've got a three o'clock on Thursday, then. While we're meeting anyway, wanted to feel you out about XF's tech needs and your current situation. Also also, discussion re: your gift and benign countermeasures against it.

PS - Thing says hello.

Cool, cool, awesome. I'll pester Doug and Nat, bring a list. I'd like to say we don't need countermeasures against me buuuuuut with the way some assholes throw around mind control-esque shit that's a... yeah, yep, we absolutely do.

You will need to talk to someone with more longevity than me about the device I'm bringing, btw. I know roughly what it does, who owned it before, and why, but the how and maker stuff gets into multiverse crap that I wasn't here to be able to explain well. I suggest Kyle, so I'm looping him in on this.

ALMOST FORGOT: HI THING ♥

Man as much as I do not wanna be yeah, I am probably the best person for this talk. Forge, when you got time, and I mean like, I dunno, at least half an hour, send me a text or something cause this one's a sit down saddle up convo.

I'll bring drinks. This is NOT a kreb convo. This is a 'Kyle buys an entire ass pineapple" convo.

Kyle - I know, and I'm sorry about it. But you've got a whole part of the story I just don't, and a... well. You're nicer than most of the other people who could tell him. I'll make sure there's a bottle of your choice waiting.

Forge, do you drink alcohol? If yes, I'll get you a bottle or pack of something you enjoy. If not, what's your preference for a serious-talk-comfort/junk-food? Oh, and did you read the Collins stuff I directed you to when I met Thing 1.0? If so, that's what the device is related to, and maybe Kyle can skip some of the worst bits and just fill in the parts Before Darcy.

I don't drink. Seen what it tends to do to Native communities. I'll take a deeply caffeinated beverage instead.

Well, that's nice and ominous. Looks like I've got some reading to do, assuming I'm cleared for it.

I can do that.

You're on a team, so you should be able to access mission archives. You want the files from Genosha - 2012, Xavier's announcement from December 2020, and anything with Laurie Collins and Nathaniel Essex from 2021 or 2022. It's heavy but necessary reading.

To Forge, Darcy

Either will do. Deeply Caffeinated is the important part. And having taken a prelim peek at the material, I can kinda see why.

You want me to make countermeasures, don't you?

Re: Devices

[xp_wildchild]

We want you to reproduce that thing, only better. But - hold off until we talk because there's details you need that require a face to face.
