He's pretty sure it's out here somewhere...dammnit, it's Bes Din recognized. He's gonna have to get permission to dissect it. Might be easier to ask Thistle for ... assistance sounds better than help, after all.

Sighing, he moves to Thistle's workshop, and nocks out the tune of 'she blinded me with science' on the door to it.

Impatience grips him, he's possibly the LEAST Nockerish nocker when it comes to language, but knock again

Then finally "HEY, Rainbow Brite, you furking in there or not?"

"I'm BUSY!"

'Well, how long will you be busy?" He asks all reasonable like

Chime? Oh, someone outside? Is he going to go inside? ShinyBrightRainbows is inside! Like gnats, Nevers collect around Wudlig.

If he goes in, they can go in!

"When this part is DONE, duh."

"Look, I'm just gonna look over your never traps and your spriggan sniffer on my own, won't be no trouble, just checking how to fine tune a chimerical transumbral detector . That okay?"

He swats lightly at one Never that seems to be fascinated by his mask

It's so SHINY and SPARKLY and it makes NOISE! chime!

"Don't touch my STUFF!"

"THIS IS FOR SCIENCE!" He protests

Noises as she gets her project to a stopping place. "I ain't give a rat's cankle about your science, that's my stuff."

"It'll still be YOUR Stuff, I'll give it back...after I look over it for a few fine tunning ideas for MY furking detector"

She opens the door, and there's a brief flurry of Nevers in and Nevers out. "What detector? And you ain't gonna just corporate espionage my designs."

"I don't WORK for a corporation, I work for a baron, and he wants me to get a project done. I'm just trying to furking speed it up"

Then he answers "A dream dance detector. They are possible. It's confirmed. One that triggers when they start"

"Well, sure, they oughta be. Big boom of glamour, those."

"But the detector needs to reach out to at least 91.6767 % of the Barony's domain, gonna need a quantum net scrutinzier to spread it that far"

Brow.

"Look, this isnt just a detector, its a rapid responder... see, some sick monster is kidnapping chystalids all over Concordia with these driverless chariots from their home turf... I found out, warned the baron and he wanted a solution.. MY Carriage, that will find and snatch up any of our future fledges fast and FIRST"

Logik on his side!

He doesn't mention that Aiden thought about sending a few abroad further than the barony and he had to be told that was a bad idea

Well, TOLD? you can TELL an Ailil much. Hinted.

"Furk, glad Art and me didn't have that happen...."

".........you think having our own carriage is really the right answer for us?"

"That's what we nockers do, get noble patrons who tell us what they want, we have to coax em a bit so they realize what they need instead." More confidentally "If we can make it less scary, more a 'quick get in, I'm here to furking help' rather than just whips lashing you ... it should be better I figure. With limiting to the barony grounds, we end up ..making sure the Baron and Baroness don't end up at war with a neighbor... and it does the thanes who patrol about for that sort of thing too. Way I see it, that tech is already being used for the worst other places. We can furking make it better and...well, not to be a boggan about it, but nicer to the chyrsalid too." He admits "That's why I wanted to look at your gear, comparison to other chimerical and glamour readers. The Camo veil I got down cold. You've seen my work there" A pleased look there

"Bet you could tie the device to some kind of, like, bracelet or earring the thanes could wear. Get'm there fast."

"You know I have my schematics, right?"

"Mmm" He ponders "That idea of giving the Thanes a device for it ain't drek" He concedes at the mention of the schemetics he sayhs "Well, you have to be careful about Schemetic viewing. If the Bes Din think you're stealing plans direct from a registered member, they will sic a lot of trouble onyou, like it, Goblins with anal probes and electrodes trouble. But if you give me the official okay to look over them yeah, would help a lot" He concedes . A sigh "Your'e gonna want second listing on the accreditation with the baron aren't you?"

"You're damned right it I help I get to coauther, not et al."

"Et Al is perfectly respectable" he gurmphs

"Mm-hmm. I mean, you can do this solo."

"Fine" He sighs "But W before T in this case."

"Yeah, fair enough."

"You want it in writing, or will a shake suffice?" He says "You seem a square shooter"

"And I was reared a chick in a dragon's nest."

"Huh.. sounds like a vote for the contract or am I misreading that?"

"Got it, Hawkeye."

"mmp no furking trust" He says "I'll be right back" And he goes to get the paper and ink so a proper contract can be written

And soon, after all is checked and double checked, things are signed ,stamped, and done with a copy for each.

And the two geniuses get to work applying schematics in new ways

(End Scene)

CHIME!

(I said End Scene, Citrine)

CHIME!

(It's not all about you, you know?)
