“Today, we are going to talk about the history of Jewelry and also learn to work with metals. If you look at this handout you will see that Jewelry has been used for hundreds of thousands of years. It has been used at decoration, as money, as bribes and in religious ceremonies. It has been made from a wide variety of materials, with only one thing in common. Almost always, the materials are of a hard and nearly indestructible nature. One wants these things to last forever, right?”

She looked around the room. “I you to divide into groups and to pick a material that you know Jewelry to be made of. Then you can make a little presentation about your material for the rest of the gang here.”

after that

“Now, lets take a lookat metal. It is by far not a requirement to use it but I want you to be familiar with it. This is silver. It is a precious metal, but easier to work with then gold. You are getting 20 gauge silver wire. I would like you to wrap it tightly around the dowels provided over there and saw through with the jewelers’ saw. You will get a number of jumprings,which you can connect into a chain.”

It looked at Agatha, looked at John (who shrugged), and gave a brief hop. It was a little ungainly, as it's hard to hop when you've 2 arms and a tail.

"That's interesting. Maybe I should tell it to get me a beer."

"Hang on. Don't react in any way, in fact, look the other way or something." She turned to the thing. "Attack John."

It immediately turned and forced itself between Agatha and John, and actually knocked John down in the process. It squatted, balanced on the two arms as the tail hovered over like a scorpion.

"I don't think it liked that. Down, boy."

"Huh." Agatha looked at the thing crittically. "Well, it is bright enough to understand me, and also to protect you." SHe shook her head. "Next time, make it only respodn to YOUR commands though, eh?"

"Hey, I'm not even sure if I finished the programming, much less whom to obey. I was a bit sleep deppy, and for all I know, saying something like 'meglo-maniacal marshmallow center' makes it--"

John's sentence was lost as the happy shiny fun toy went skittering off.

He looked at Agatha. "I don't think I was supposed to do that."

Before either of them could react (much), it came back.

With a load of candy bars that had formerly been residing in John's backpack.

"Wow. So I did make it so it'll fetch me a beer. Wonder what I say?" He takes one of the chocolates and starts to eat it.

"Fetch Beer?" Agatha speculated idelly.

"Considering what makes it fetch chocolate, I doubt I'd make it that simple. "

"good point. Aren't you too young for beer anyway?"

John looked at her. "YOu're right." He turned to his creation. "Dude, get me whiskey." It didn'tmove.

"Try lemonade" Agatha suggested helpfully.

John started to speak, then stopped himself with a clamping of his jaw. "You know, maybe I'll wait until I'm not in class before I send my henchmech out to get me drunk. Um. Plausible deniability and such." He glanced at his creation.

"Did I mention I named it?"

"You did not. What's it's name?"

"Scorpion." It waved. Well, ducked down, more like.

"appropriate, what with the tail and all..."

"I figured, and 'Scorpion' sounds cooler than 'Crawfish', 'Craydad', and 'MechaLobster'. And since it's supposed to be worn, I put the arms so the weight's on the pelvis so it looks like an invertebrate."
