Who needs a mechanic

This is something I've been wondering for a while. It seems that I have been slacking off on my abilities lately.

While I'm not the best when it comes to machines, I do want to do my best.

Is there something I can make for you? Or perhaps fix?

[madeofmirrors]

Should I take this to mean you're familiar with the "magitech" here?

[scooba]

Yes, I am but not enough to be an expert on it.

[madeofmirrors]

Understanding it at all makes you more of an expert than I am. It's power sources, for instance. Do you know how they work?

[scooba]

Just enough to power it a bit.

Is there something you want me to make?

[madeofmirrors]

There may be something you could help recreate.

Are you familiar with telepathy at all?

[scooba]

A little bit but not enough to attempt it through machines.

Is there something you have in mind?

[madeofmirrors]

Yes, and I know the workings of it, but only using technology available in my own world. I'm afraid I was programmed with a difficulty in accepting magic. It's all very complicated, but it causes a sort of feedback. If magic can be funneled into a power source, though, that can power electronics, I think I can work with that.

[scooba]

I can give it a try.

Back home, everything was done through water and some of the elements. They usually powered the machines but I can try it through the magic here. Although, it'll take some time to adapt to where you can read minds. I never tried to do something like that before.

[madeofmirrors]

The design I have isn't for equipment that allows for the reading of minds, but for blocking others from doing so. It generates a thought shield you can calibrate to project different images so that your thoughts aren't what telepaths read.

I don't know what aid I could be, but I'll try. Magic really is beyond me, as loath as I am to admit that.

[scooba]

Something to block others from reading your mind, huh?

I do have a helmet that helps me block out sound. I wonder if there is some magitech that prevents that from happening. I will have to look for some materials in order to make it work.

[madeofmirrors]

Well, telepathy's a bit more involved than sound, but we might be able to work with it.

[scooba]

Okay then.

Do you know where I can get some materials to make something like it?

[madeofmirrors]

I have no idea, though electronically, its inner working would be something similar to the Kameras that have recently surfaced. Where are those sourced?

[scooba]

Oh, I am familiar with a Kamera. I know how to work my way around that.

To be honest, I'm not too sure myself as I know the technology here is different compared to Fontaine. However, I'll try my best to figure out where to get the resources here.

[madeofmirrors]

I'll do my own inquiries and we can pool our resources.

[scooba]

Alright then.

What resources do you have so far?

[madeofmirrors]

Only what I know of its inner workings at the moment. You were my first inquiry.

[scooba]

Oh uh...

Then thank you? For willing to trust me in something like this.

[madeofmirrors]

If it lessens the pressure at all, I have very few options and you were the first on the network I've seen express an interest in technology.

[scooba]

Really? That's surprising considering all the technology we have here. I only expressed it as I wish to help as many people as possible with the skills I have...

[madeofmirrors]

Did I mention I'm new?

[scooba]

Oh! I wasn't aware of that!

...Is there something you want me to explain to you? Or what else do you need help in?
