Okay, but...how?!

voice;

[lonewanderer]

How- what? How is the armor made?

voice;

[clickclickbang]

No, how does it not melt from hot plasma.

voice;

[lonewanderer]

Skill. [ Beat. ] Honestly, I have no idea; the engineering of it might be something that was lost after the Great War.

voice;

[clickclickbang]

[Ooh.]

Well that sucks. Anti-plasma armor would be really cool to have.

voice;

[lonewanderer]

My armor isn't bad for it, but I'm not going to let anyone rip it apart.

voice;

[clickclickbang]

Not like I could make sense of it anyway. I'm a techie, not a shop kid.

voice;

[lonewanderer]

Yeah? What kind of tech?

voice;

[clickclickbang]

Computers, phones, that sorta thing.

voice;

[lonewanderer]

[ Oh! There's a definite note of excitement in her voice. ] All the phones don't work, back home, but enough computers still do.

I should have you take a look at my Pip-Boy sometime. There's a few functions that stopped working when I got here, and while I can hack into things... that doesn't seem to be the problem.

voice;

[clickclickbang]

Yeah, my phone and camera are a bit wonky and the batterires've gotten way too low since I got here. I'm tempted to go ask the Coven if they have, y'know, a charging cord.

voice;

[lonewanderer]

Considering the fashion and architecture around here, probably not. But they might have magic that can boost it or something.

My Pip-Boy runs nuclear, so at least battery life isn't an issue.

voice;

[clickclickbang]

Runs what?

voice;

[lonewanderer]

It's nuclear powered. Nuclear energy.

voice;

[clickclickbang]

What's that? Like...geothermal? Solar?

voice;

[lonewanderer]

It's... [ She hums in thought. ] You know what atoms are?

voice;

[clickclickbang]

Uh...yeah. The little bits that make up stuff, right?

[It's been a few years since he took a chem class.]

voice;

[lonewanderer]

Yeah.

So- you split them and it releases energy.

voice;

[clickclickbang]

....you can do that?!

[Holy shit, he's gotta tell Ignis about this for back home.]

voice;

[lonewanderer]

Ohh yeah. It can be pretty dangerous, and people have weaponized it because of course they have, but if you do it correctly... the power runs for a long, long time.

voice;

[clickclickbang]

People will weaponize silly string if you let 'em, but holy crap. That stuff sounds awesome.

voice;

[lonewanderer]

And it's not a limited resource, which is pretty useful.

voice;

[clickclickbang]

How is it not limited? There's only so much stuff.

voice;

[lonewanderer]

It doesn't happen on a visible scale, to start with.

voice;

[clickclickbang]

Still only so much stuff.
