that's exactly what i was hoping.
i hear the clock tower is protected by a droid infantry. if they can be fried, that would eliminate a substantial part of the tower's security measures.

If that's the aim, we should work on maximizing the effect. Perhaps an ambient electrical field that could disable multiple units at once.

[vdovy]

Well, yeah, but that would require some kind of super brainy tech person. You know anyone like that?

[techmaturgy]

Yes. Me.

[He was getting to that part.]

[vdovy]

Huh. That's lucky.

I have a similar device that delivers single target payloads. If you think you can scale it up, you can tinker with it.

[techmaturgy]

I can take a look. At the very least I might be able to increase the output.

[vdovy]

Excellent. I always wanted a Q, but V is a fine letter also.

[techmaturgy]

I'm not sure I understand.

[vdovy]

No? You don't know James Bond? Very silly spy films. Wrong about everything to do with espionage. They're lots of fun.

[techmaturgy]

[what is a film]

I'm unfamiliar.

[vdovy]

[ hmm... how to make this make sense... ]

Q is the brain behind all the cool spy gadgets, like a pen that shoots tranquilizer darts or a sports car with missiles behind the headlights. I compared you because you are a also brainy type with a single letter codename.

[techmaturgy]

Ok. I get it. I should note that I use my first initial for expediency, not out of any real preference to remain anonymous.

[vdovy]

You got to pick yours? Or wait- did you hack it??

[techmaturgy]

No, I was able to choose. You weren't?

[vdovy]

Mine was assigned. So what is V short for?

[techmaturgy]

It's Viktor.
