Invention Time! With Scott and Dinah
Scott had heard word from Henry about Goldstar being out on the town. One thought popped to his head.

Must run distractionary tactics for Dinah. Like that time Aqualad went on a date with Wonder Girl, and I asked Sora to take me flying to the Lantern Land Amusement Parks.

Oh Lantern Land. How sad to know it'd be another 430 years before you'd even be built.

Still, one thing was sure. So Scott flew down by Dinah to get her to take them back to Western Time in the Bug and got her in the lab. Two smoothies, some blaring AC/DC and a wall of tools built up from 21st century tech.

"So, Miss Kord, how about we make that Beetle Baton?"

	Scott starts to snicker. "I'm sorry. Sonic pulse would be fine, but let's avoid using anything 'vibration' based with a baton, shall we? Hey, what if we reinforced the casing so you could bludgeon with it?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dinah almost instantly went the same shade of red as her hair and her jaw dropped down and worked itself a few times, but no words came out. "...okay, yeah. Avoiding that. Definitely avoiding that. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but.... yeah. No. Avoiding that now." She was babbling. "Reinforcement's good," she finally agreed. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Oh, nothing wrong with it at all, just bad PR. And you don't need bad PR." Scott runs off and grabs his soldering iron and his leather apron.

"So, polycarbonate/titanium alloy chain? Or classic pure titanium? Oh, I know what we'd need! Compiled superpoly strand threader! Makes mini rope cuffs stronger than steel with as much or as little give as we'd need! Scooter, run the numbers for us! We're making a multipurpose tool!"

Scott grins. "Rope. Amazing that even by the 26th, you always want rope. Good for tying down boxes, binding up enemies or partners, swinging across chasms, hogtying bulls. So much fun."

"So, we'd want two formulas, minimal give and medium give, for multiple purposes, yes?" Scott's excited. Expect rambling to commence.

	"Probably an alloy. Maybe not quite as tough overall, but it'll give it a little more give when it has to and won't weigh as much," Dinah decided, nodding her approval for the rest of the idea. "Those should work. Might want to come up with something for a quick dissolving solution, just in case." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	wannabelantern 2010-06-07 10:49 pm UTC (link)
	Scott nods. "First we make the rope solution, then we make the solvent. And keep the solvent on the belt, separate. No chance for cross contamination. Now, classic blue, or do we go gray with a blue light? And I think the sound should emulate... Scooter! Run avoid file of Scarab beetle's wings and off it's hissing!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"First we make the rope solution, then we make the solvent... then we get the power, then we get the boytoys!" Dinah giggled. "Let's do gray with a blue light." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Ooh, boytoys you say? I'm lead to believe the fairer gender could be gained with it as well... That's it, I'm making a net shooter for me now." Scott starts typing numbers on the keyboard on the screen then swipes his hand to the left, flying everything off screen. "Chemical analysis... okay, let's start running numbers for the casing before I get the Reds to work on it... and while we're at it, I'll get to work on the pulse blasts. You want to program the strobe variables into the light? I have another Desktop. Next to the chalkboard."

Scott pulls out two rolling computer chairs to sit on from the next room and places one by the Desk, and places another next to him. A desk on rollers is right next to the chalkboard.

	Dinah plopped herself down in one of the chairs. "Can do," she bubbled. This was... nice. Really nice, truthfully. Riley was and would always be her best friend (and just that! Just that!) but he was... well, he was Riley. Sometimes, she needed a friend to geek out with. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Scott was having a great time too. Scooter was great fun, and he liked dropping by the Brownstone unannounced to say hi to Wendi or Mickey or Alex, and the Lanterns were all fun. Especially Henry. But nothing beats going all tech and inventing, and it was great to have someone to do it with who was... well... more than a hoverboard with an attitude.

Scott grinned. "Hey, while the data compiles, are there any films you want to see? I finally started making enough from the Shop to get Netflix and the streaming thing is nice. A lot of classic films out. Well, I guess they are relatively new now..." Scott's still typing away as he runs all the pulse simulations.

"Ew... have to lower the power, we don't want to liquefy bone. Or do we... No. Definitely not."

	"Oooh! Avatar!" Dinah said. "Really cool sci-fi film from last year," added. She made a face. "...Eeew. That would be messy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	wannabelantern 2010-06-08 12:34 am UTC (link)
	"How's the strobe simulations coming? And Avatar could be fun. I was more fond of District 9 myself." Scott tries a few buttons and rang them, and suddenly he heard a ding. "Well, I think the materials will begin starting soon. And the Reds are going... nnnnn....now!" A small sound can be heard coming from the island in the center of the lab. "I love my nanites."

	bwa_ha_ha 2010-06-08 12:41 am UTC (link)
	"Going good," Dinah said. "District 9 was the smarter film... but Avatar was the better popcorn flick." She gave him a curious look. "Do you and your nanites need a little alone time?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sir learned long ago that's a bad idea, Miss." Scooter drifts by and refills the smoothie cups. "At least he hasn't emulated that Iron Man film with the Handy units yet..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Scooter, stop enacting Heuristics 1-1-3."

Scooter giggles. "I should have explained better. And not left open the double meanings. Sir spilled the first batch of red-type nanites down his pants during a late night of fixing the cold ray. Thankfully, they only ate a bit of his skin."

"It still hurt for two days... Stupid nanite rash..." Scott turns red and gets back to work on the pulses.

	"Oooouch," Dinah said, wincing in sympathy. "I mean, I've electrocuted myself a few times, but... ouch." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Scott pulls off his gove and shows how scarred up his hand really is. "I've elctrocuted myself too many times. Putty gloves cover it up nice. Scooter was about half of these. My family attracts electricity, I'd guess."

Scott yells. "Finally! Got the sonic pulse to just disorient and loosen the joints. The power range is now between minimal to non-lethal warfare. Lowest setting can eliminate dandruff apparently..."

	Dinah winced briefly at the scarring. "Yowch," she said, in sympathy. She let out a cheer. "WHOOO-HOOOO! GO TEAM INVENTION!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"And with that, the code compiles! I'll get the stream of the movie ready. Scooter, how about some popcorn and those little cold things..."

"Ice cream bon-bons, sir?"

"Yeah, those! Protocol HYAU-29!" Scott laughs and opens a blue door in the lab. He pulls out the remote and starts pointing it around.

"Movie'll be all ready in five, we'll just leave the Reds to make the components. Don't touch them without the red gloves on, please! That goes for you too Scooter! I don't want to have to rebuild hoverboards or fingers."

Under his breath he utters a small "again".
