((edit: okay, new posts. Moving to separate post so it doesn't get lost.
Also, I consulted the Anagram Server... "Einsteinian Roulette" anagrams to "Alien Intestine E-Tour". Or "An Elite Sneer Tuition". Both work, I think.

Anton's eyes widen at the capabilities presented by the Tinker program. "
A.. personal workshop. With unlimited tools, unlimited resources, and no buildings full of innocents to accidentally destroy. All I ever wanted..." He let off a... cackle? Not one to normally feel emotional, Anton was surprised at the wave of excitement overcoming him. "
Oh, this... this... now, this will be interesting."
Anton immediately dives into the wealth of options presented by the simulation. Accustoming himself to the extensive list of commands, he has the program display him a list of all standard equipment available in the Armory on a separate virtual panel. The panel turns out to be rather large, as the list is filled with an assortment of conventional, unconventional, and exotic weaponry, as well as a selection of armors and miscellaneous gear. Anton looks over the list, smiles, and cracks his fingers in anticipation.
"
Well then... let's start at the top... and go in sequence."
Examine each weapon, device, and armor in turn, keeping note of any immediately available documentation such as basic technical stats.
Start project log, performing experiments in sequence, and saving each project before moving on to the next.
Project HL-A001: "Beam Spork"> Explode and examine construction of a typical hand laser.
> Attempt separating the laser generator and focusing chambers, and replicate them on the middle and ring fingers of the hand laser.
> If successful, estimate cost of a single unit as-is, and the cost of two units refitted to run off the smallest generator capable of running them both continuously. (both are connected by power lines to the generator on the back of the wearer)
> Explode and examine the construction of a Laser Rifle and a Tesla Saber.
> Attempt bisecting the Tesla Saber's electrodes and containment circuits to fit on either side of the LasRifle's focusing chambers without losing function, a-la "tesla bayonet".
> If successful, test the effects of having a Laser-Induced Plasma Channel introduced into the electric discharge of the saber, with the saber's containment field turned off. (basically, fire through an active tesla arc and see if it's possible to convert the standard laser rifle into an electrolaser)
> Try several similar configurations, especially one with a tesla saber simply clipped to the underside of the rifle, but made to intersect the laser beam when active.
> If any configuration is successful, observe results on standard suits MkI through MkIII, as well as on an unarmored human with both the saber and the laser set to minimum power.
> Examine the effects of imparting a significant force on two Kinetic Amplifiers set up to activate sequentially (Save everything beforehand!).
> Respawn.
> Construct a compact device consisting of two Kin-Amps separated by a thin buffer of easily crushable material (a crumple zone to build some momentum), sandwiched between steel discs. Place a small amount of conventional high-explosive with a micro-detonator on one side of the sandwich, and a miniature battery enough to power both amps exactly once on the other. Encase everything in a metallic cylinder roughly resembling a coin.
> Set up a test area. A Battlesuit standing a kilometer away from observation point, the constructed device fixed to its chestplate via strong adhesive.
> Activate detonator, observe results.
> If successful one way or another, consider ways to make the device safe to handle.
> Examine monofilament used in monorazors.
> Devise and test a way of storing a length (about 3m) of monofilament wire in a compact manner, with the capability to easily release it when needed. (I don't remember what Bishop did with his bola rounds..)
> If successful, assemble a grenade-like device containing two sets of such monofilament containers, being spun in opposite directions by a powerful motor, releasing monofilament as the motor builds up speed.
> Test the device as an area-denial grenade. It should rip into the ground with the wire and spin under the force of two sets of rotors rotating in opposite directions, creating a temporary 3m radius sphere of destruction impassable to lightly armored enemies. Test against, say, a rhinoceros stampede.
> If unsuccessful, ponder ways to improve the device.
> Examine MkIII suit.
> Devise a way to modify it so as to make the entire rocket pod assembly easily detachable and reattachable by the wearer without external help.
> Look into possibilities to add external mounts for weapons and components throughout the rest of the exoskeleton for possible future module additions.
> Perform modifications to a virtual MkIII suit and test it and a standard MkIII. Note any differences in performance.
((That's enough ideas for one post... let's try not to overload the GM.
