Sept 23rd - New Projects

That does seem to give her pause for a moment.

"I like you anyway."

by **Blaine Slinger** » Wed Apr 15, 2015 3:01 pm

THAT gave BLAINE pause.

"Th...thanks..." he blushed.

"You are welcome. Come on, take a look." she says, shifting gear without a clutch and stepping aside from the finished workbench. "I put in a small set of robotic arms in the back. You can either control them yourself or they will let me assist you remotely without taking up space."

by **Blaine Slinger** » Wed Apr 15, 2015 4:04 pm

"Wow! That's...that's really" nice "cool!"

by **ASHLIE** » Wed Apr 15, 2015 4:08 pm

One of the tiny robot arms jerks into motion and waves at Blaine.

by **Blaine Slinger** » Wed Apr 15, 2015 4:32 pm

"You said I could control them. How?"

by **ASHLIE** » Wed Apr 15, 2015 4:41 pm

"There's a program on this USB stick. As long as the computer is connected to the school network you can use it to control them." she says and one of the arms picks up a thumb-drive lieing on the bench.

"Even, like, from across campus?"

by **ASHLIE** » Wed Apr 15, 2015 4:52 pm

ASHLIE seems to come to a sudden realization. "You shouldn't use this while you should be in class or asleep."

by **Blaine Slinger** » Wed Apr 15, 2015 5:03 pm

"Awwwww," he whined, but with the slight hint of a smile.

by **ASHLIE** » Wed Apr 15, 2015 6:40 pm

"But otherwise this is all yours to do as you please."

by **Blaine Slinger** » Wed Apr 15, 2015 9:53 pm

"Wow..." he said, taking it all in. "Thank you, Ashley."

by **ASHLIE** » Wed Apr 15, 2015 10:00 pm

"Have you given any thought to your first project?"

by **Blaine Slinger** » Wed Apr 15, 2015 10:12 pm

"I still want to help you get more accurate brain scans."

by **ASHLIE** » Thu Apr 16, 2015 10:02 am

"Great. I have everything we talked about here, including a sample of Cerebra fluid conductor. You can use it under the condition that it doesn't leave the building."

by **Blaine Slinger** » Thu Apr 16, 2015 5:12 pm

"That dangerous, huh?"

by **ASHLIE** » Thu Apr 16, 2015 5:27 pm

"Not at all. I just don't want it falling into the wrong hands."

by **Blaine Slinger** » Fri Apr 17, 2015 12:11 am

"Who would want to steal it?"

by **ASHLIE** » Fri Apr 17, 2015 12:45 am

"I don't know. Telepaths, maybe?"

by **Blaine Slinger** » Fri Apr 17, 2015 3:03 pm

"Aren't most telepaths already with the X-Men?"

by **ASHLIE** » Fri Apr 17, 2015 3:13 pm

"Only a small fraction of the world-wide mutant population is part of the X-Men or affiliates."

by **Blaine Slinger** » Fri Apr 17, 2015 7:38 pm

"Really? I thought they pretty much all were. You know, except for those evil guys on the news."

by **ASHLIE** » Fri Apr 17, 2015 9:57 pm

"There is a whole suburb of London that is filled with Mutants." ASHLIE provides a helpful tidbit of information.

by **Blaine Slinger** » Sat Apr 18, 2015 2:34 pm

"Yeah, but just the physical stuff, right?"

by **ASHLIE** » Sat Apr 18, 2015 3:18 pm

"A significant amount, but statistics would suggests at least some non-physical mutations."

by **Blaine Slinger** » Sun Apr 19, 2015 12:11 am

"I guess I just didn't think about that...you don't really notice people who look, y'know..."

by **ASHLIE** » Sun Apr 19, 2015 2:44 am

"Who don't look like mutants? The majority of mutants actually doesn't exhibit immediate physical signs. It's a lack of control over their own abilities that has forced a lot of people into Mutant Town. At least that is what a lot of the material on the subject says."

by **Blaine Slinger** » Sun Apr 19, 2015 2:50 am

"I mean, I guess. Most of us look pretty normal. Except for that fish girl."

by **ASHLIE** » Sun Apr 19, 2015 2:59 am

"Yes, Miss Haddock shows quite extensive physical divergence. The extremes are rare though for more information on this you might have to consult Dr. Bowen."

by **Blaine Slinger** » Sun Apr 19, 2015 8:38 pm

"That's the science guy, right? I dunno, he's a bit..."

by **ASHLIE** » Sun Apr 19, 2015 9:59 pm

"Old?" she takes a wild guess.

by **Blaine Slinger** » Mon Apr 20, 2015 3:28 am

"...boring, actually. Like, he's explaining how things connect and work, when that all is, you know...like, instinctual."

by **ASHLIE** » Mon Apr 20, 2015 10:06 am

"You don't know how the things you built work?"

by **Blaine Slinger** » Mon Apr 20, 2015 5:08 pm

"I mean, they just do, you know? It makes sense."

by **ASHLIE** » Mon Apr 20, 2015 5:09 pm

"Interesting. Intuitive engineering. That I don't understand."

by **Blaine Slinger** » Mon Apr 20, 2015 5:13 pm

"Well, people try to replicate the stuff I've done and, uh, it doesn't work. I can't really explain it..."

by **ASHLIE** » Mon Apr 20, 2015 6:25 pm

"Your abilities must create interactions that aren't normally possible. The potential applications for that are incredible."

by **Blaine Slinger** » Mon Apr 20, 2015 7:34 pm

"If you say so. It's just fitting things together that fit."

by **ASHLIE** » Mon Apr 20, 2015 8:01 pm

"You should take some regular engineering courses. Eventually you'll understand your gift by seeing what rules it lets you circumvent. But until then I recommend just fitting things together."

by **Blaine Slinger** » Mon Apr 20, 2015 9:40 pm

"Why would I need to know the rules if I don't need to follow them?" Blaine said, confused.
