Industrial Arts, Tuesday

[not_a_whiner]

Second day back, and Kaidan was still feeling jittery and antsy and he'd had several awkward conversations already. Not only that, but there was this thudding pain centered right behind his eye that didn't seem to know whether it wanted to turn into a full-blown migraine or not. It wasn't... exactly putting him in a sporting mood.

"So today we're going to do two things," he announced to the class. "First, you can show off what you built last week. Then..."

He gestured at the rest of the Danger Shop behind them, which was set up with a variety of targets, some made of cardboard, some made of wood. A track had been drawn on the ground as well - a couple of targets on there, all cardboard, but not a lot.

"We're taking the battlebots for a test drive."

No better way to channel frustration than that, right?

"Oh." Hmm. Topher needed to mull that over for a second. "I assume by 'bigger' you also mean that it would be more destructive than the baby one?"

"...Sure. Yeah. Absolutely. Something hefty, that you could really bang into the wall."

That sounded awesome. "Sure, yeah," Topher decided. "Let's do it. Now? I think we should start working on it now."

Was sex pollen... making him crave more science? Yes, yes it was.

"Reckon Alenko's got a jackhammer we could attach to it?"

For...reasons.

"Probably not," Topher sighed. "He'd say it's too destructive. Wait, why?"

"Brink, the answer to 'jackhammer' should never be 'why?'. Ever."

Not only because she didn't have a good reply for it, but that was one of the reasons.

Topher considered that. "Fair enough," he decided. "So where should we get one?"

"That shop in town?"

The shop that ran through Ace's mind at that moment was probably not the shop that would run through Topher's.

Nor did they sell jackhammers. At least not by that name.

"I'll check if we have some in the next day or so," Topher decided. "I can probably steal some and tell Tony it was a really mean squirrel."

What, did she not mean Stark Industries?
