[Jen's taken Cethlenn out for a spin outside Sakihama base, exploring the abandoned area above it. That smoky cloud it has oozes about, occasionally surrounding and utterly devouring a small building.]

Okay, so...What can I do with this...There's that railgun, a missile...Let's try...

[The smoke cloud gathers up into a small ball, heating to a dull red as it does so. A little while later it starts to cool down, and spreads out again-dropping a mecha-sized knife to the ground.]


...I wonder, if...

[It does the same thing again, but this time out pops a small (human scale) gold ingot.]




...That's...

...Okay, I think I can work with this.
[Not very long after, the area is littered with human-scale weaponry-knives, pistols, naginatas, a whip-along with all sorts of other random crap. Walking through the street Jen's picked out for practice is gonna be a pretty weird endeavor for some time to come.]

Fine, I promise not to destroy the global economy. [Said in the tone of a child having a toy taken away]

...Though, I'm not sure what it can't make. If I had enough time, energy, and stuff to feed into it...Well, and the design for something, I could probably make just about anything...

It's like a 3d printer... one that operates on a very large scale.

But the question is, how much energy and matter does it need?

[a_monetized_mind]

Exactly as much matter comes in as goes out. So if I've got 20 pounds of steel, I can make 20 pounds of gold. Energy...I'm not so sure on, but it only really seems to matter when I'm actually transmuting stuff, instead of just changing its shape.

Its ability to construct things quickly is impressive, but the transmutation is on a whole 'nother level.

Charging up your unit could be quite expensive...

But, it's a good thing that you learn how to control this power.

[a_monetized_mind]

Yeah, I blew through most of its fuel reserves just with this...

Well, those Viper guys will have some surprises waiting for them, next time.

[star_of_sad]

I'm sure they will.

And please tell the Commander what your unit is capable of doing. So there won't be any surprises.
