 [This is a video of the scattered mess of tiny robot parts she's made in one corner of the cargo bay.]

I managed to get a few of these things put together, but at this rate, it's going to take me another week.  I'm really not sure what I'm meant to do with a dozen or so robot vacuum cleaners to begin with.  I'm open to some suggestions.

[The feed switches to voice as Lara adds after a tentative pause. ]

I may have also received a video meant for someone else, something about Pax.

I'm pretty sure I saw someone opening a crate full of plastic dinosaurs, so that doesn't really surprise me.

[ BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY!! ] ...I have no idea what we could use for a lance. A broom handle, maybe?

[vengeance_driven]

Sounds good to me.

Well, we have actual scientists. But if they don't want to make special lances for rolling hoovers? Then broom handles.

[ She's trying not to laugh, she's not sure how serious he is, but it spills it's way over into her voice at the mental image anyway. ]

They might have more important things to do than make special lances for rolling hoovers. I'll ask Ratchet, he might have a few ideas on what we can do.

[ Pause. ]

Do you think they'll need armor. The broom handles won't hurt anything, but a lance might.

[vengeance_driven]

Make them out of rubber. It will get the job done and also no one can use them as weapons.

[Because even rubber lances are pretty funny.]

[All of this sounds like a good plan to him. He is easily entertained.]

[rraidergirl]

Finding the rubber might be the hard bit... I suppose we could try to use some of the other bots instead of making all of them. I can't even tell how many I have, they're in so many pieces.

[vengeance_driven]

They can make all sorts of stuff here. I wouldn't be surprised if they couldn't come up with something.

In the meantime?

...I have duct tape.

[Niko Bellic's current favorite thing to use constantly.]

[ Niko Bellic might be a genius as far as Lara's concerned. ]

That could work.
