"Hum. Yeah, my existence alone is pretty mind-boggling... It's especially hard to figure out what I am because scanners don't work."
A small "ding" comes from his tablet, which he looks at, typing something in it then putting it back away.
Quote:Quote:"Okay, yes, I can do that." He goes behind the counter and off to a shelf in the back, coming back with a large pile of neatly tied wires and some scrap of various kinds. "Any of this look like what you need? We've got iron, tungsten... I think that's some sort of brass. Lots of aluminum. A small supply of titanium... and... uh... I think there were more. For wires we've got everything under most suns somewhere around here." He scratches his chin for a moment. "And power armor plating... I would have to check. I think we had some a while back. Not sure if it's what you're looking for. One moment." He heads into the back room for a moment.
"Yes, it seems we have some. Do you need any specific parts?"
"No. As far as metal goes, though... Do you have anything light, but durable?"
"Umm... Hold on." He pulls out a tablet from under the counter and types something in. A few moments later, there's a ding. He looks at the tablet, nods, and puts it back away.
"Well my business partner reccommends Titanium, if you want it for a decent price and a good strength to weight ratio."
((I spent too long trying to find strong/light metals. Surprisingly, Titanium was probably one of the cheapest and best combinations. There was also some kind of steel which has the same strength/weight as Titanium but cheaper, but it doesn't have a name far as I can tell. Microlattices are cool, strong for their weight (which is lighter than real-life Aerogel which is insane, but due to that weight not being much, while the strength/weight ratio is good, actual strength, not so much. Also considered introducing a fake metal, but I was too lazy to bother coming up with a name at the moment.))
