[When the SFC turns on, there’s no one in view. The only thing that can be seen, in fact, is a stretch of beach up on the island. A few yards away from the recording, there is something sitting on the sand. It’s hard to say exactly what it is, but it looks pretty mechanical.

Somewhere offscreen, there’s talking.]

You ready for this?

Born ready. Let’s do this shit.

Right. T-minus five, four, three, two…

[And then it explodes.]


[OOC: Green is Tech, orange is Dirk. Responses will be coming from both of them.]

[And Ky is radiating concern immediately.]

Are you both alright?

[shippingmath]

[Dirk pops his head into the view of the camera, pretty much unruffled.]

Everything's cool.

[closedcircuit]

What were you doing?

[Denzel is moving back and forth on his camera before settling to a corner]

The heck was that?!

Custom glyceryl trinitrate cocktail, testing the potency of an experimental compound. I'm sure you of all people can appreciate the classics.

[crackpotcrocker]

All that fun and you didn't invite me?

What's this purpose of this 'experimental' compound?

[terribubblykoi]

Do it again!

[shippingmath]

Maybe another time. Got to get more info before we do another test.

Nice to know that someone appreciates the finer things in life.

[Explosions are definitely finer things in life, okay.]

[terribubblykoi]

Hurry it up! It looks like a real whale of a time, but it's no good if it's over so quickly.

[Not exactly the reaction he was expecting, but not a bad one nonetheless.]

Eventually, maybe. I'm afraid we only had one explosive prepared, and, well...

[The beach is still smoking in the background.]

[terribubblykoi]

You didn't plan that one out as well as you should have. You should have been ready to put on a whole show.

Congratulations on your explosion.

[shippingmath]

[There is a large chance he will be ignored right now. Dirk doesn't particularly care. As always, your move, Darkleer.]

Thanks, considering that one was meant to happen.

[aim_exorable]

A shame it did not catch you in its blast.

[Petty bitterness? From him? Never.]

voice;

[dotthedisconnect]

Jealous, Darkleer?

voice;

[aim_exorable]

How can I be jealous of something I hardly know the purpose of, besides to blow up? The view on the communicator's camera is rather poor, I could not get a good look at all.

[crabbygenius]

You know~ its not polite to have an explosion and not provide popcorn.

[dotthedisconnect]

I've yet to develop a method for generating it spontaneously from the SFC. Though this invention would no doubt be a benefit to all involved.

[crabbygenius]

An invention like that would have so many interesting applications besides delivering food. But transferring objects directly through a data stream is hardly practical. There would be limitations on size and composition.

It would be easier to use the signal as a location point and build a device that could lock on to that point in order to transport an item to that point by another means.

[shippingmath]

Next time we'll hold a viewing party.

[bestestfurrend]

Ooooh, do it again!

[shippingmath]

Sorry, we're out of dangerous compound to explode, for the moment. Next time.

II am pleased two see that you have entertaiinments.
However, iit iis best two fiirst iinform others that iit iis your iintent two cause objects two explode.

Well, there was a countdown.

[shippingmath]

It's hardly the most startling thing that's ever been found on the SFC.
Doesn't sound like you were surprised by it, either.
