paintjobs: oh it's your hideous head (what is that on your neck)

A quick question — does anyone among us have any background in synthesizing? I know the finer points of the science are probably a little beyond your evolutionary pay grade, and I’d usually know better than to run this by a bunch of humans and humans lookalikes, but, well… desperate times, as they say.

I’ve heard from the Qorral Mayor that their species hasn’t had much success with synthesizing argecite, but synthetic materials just so happens to be one of my specialties.

[ And sure, he’s had disastrous results before, but they were still results! He probably won’t accidentally make any vampire zombies here, it’s fine. ]

If any of you think you’d be of any use to efforts to engineer an artificial compound to replace argecite — synth-ar, you could say — feel free to speak up. The only hitch being that this backwater planet doesn’t have much in the way of laboratory equipment. The local blacksmith has been told to expect us stopping by with equipment requests, but I have to wonder if even that is enough. This is a ground-up operation if I’ve ever seen one.

[ perdition's rest has not been kind to tony stark, and he's spent a lot more time holed up with the local moonshine than he'd care to admit, particularly since pepper vanished. those who know him might have noticed his extended silence and started to be concerned about him, but there's one announcement over the network that certainly catches his interest.

so much so that he listens into all the results, backreading through the dossiers casually as he does so, the wheels turning as he grasps onto something that he feels like he can have some sense of control over: science.

he opens up a response channel and sounds almost more like he's musing aloud to himself than actually responding, his voice almost annoyingly casual. ]


What kind of process were you planning, exactly? Flame fusion? Czochralski? We're not exactly in a position to stimulate flux growth, let alone hydrothermal. Pretty sure we could cook up a homemade Vernuil furnace and supercharge it to fit the bill. [ you can all but hear his shrug ] Might not be crystalline, but we're basically doing the Chopped synthetic challenge, so we'll have to work with what we have.

Top of the human pile, really. [ and so modest ]

Lucky for you then, you'd be hard pressed to find another human who knows as much about arc reactor fusion than I do.

Sounds like kismet to me.
