I just thought of something we probably should make a antivenom for the venom,for those just cause in case moments and for more legal forme of cash.

[Gwolfski]

And now we have a lab to do that.

[RAM]

Don't we need to manually transfer the food to the scorpions? Sometimes SCIENCE!! has to come first, you know?

[FallacyofUrist]

Okay, new project: slowly making ourselves to scorpion venom and whatnot!

A very, very, very small dose of scorpion venom won't be lethal. Every so often, (3-4 times per week), we can take a small, small part off of our harvested venom and dose ourself with it. By gradually increasing that dose, we can gradually become immune to scorpion venom and perhaps others as well. Let's make that an ongoing action.

[stabbymcstabstab]

No, hell no, we grabbed the most lethal scorpins we could find. There isn't a way in help were injecting ourselves with it.

+1 We have the power of SCIENCE!! to protect us and, well, it really ought to be pretty easy to dilute the stuff down to parts per hundreds of millions. Something needs to be really really ambitious in order to be lethal regardless of dose.

After waking up, you consider making an autofeeder for your scorpions, but it'd be extremely complex making one based off of a roach trap. It'd have to be constantly scanning the area for trapped or dead roaches, recognize them, retrieve them, then dispense them into the scorpion terrarium. You wouldn't be able to do all that from scratch, especially at the same time. "Baby steps" is the name of the game. Time to head to the university.

You mix some chemicals along with proteins gathered from your own blood. After a couple of hours of work and repeated time at the really annoying centrifuge, you finally finish it. It seems to neutralize the venom inside testing conditions, and testing on the super-convenient mice. And you definitely did not stealthily test the anti-venom on the mice of a different research project. Definitely not. Anyways, you don't have any more of it, but 1 ml of venom combined with $40 should make 2 ml of Antivenom.

Before leaving for the day, you look into the various storage closets and find some unused computers. You quickly cannibalize a couple - any more and you'd draw way too much suspicion. Either way, you scavenge 6 Regular Computer Parts. With your person non-suspiciously loaded with computer parts, you decide to head back to the garage.

You harvested 1 ml of venom today, but used it in creating the anti-venom. You did save a tiny amount to inject yourself with after dilution, though.

Put the new computer parts in our computer(if that wasn't already done)

See if we can find a way to get our computer to connect to the internet(no idea how)

[RAM]

Design a data synchronisation device so that you can easily and reliably copy the data from one electronic device to another. Then make a commitment to do so in all but the most extreme of cases, so that your spoilers electronic devices will all be identical familiar.

[FallacyofUrist]

Dilute the tiny part, though try to do it with something that both won't make things worse and won't neutralize it entirely. Make sure it's diluted to a point where it won't kill you, nor send you to the ER. Make sure it's diluted to the point where you can ride out the effects at the garage without needing help.

INJECT IT INTO YOUR BLOODSTREAM! HAHAHAHA!

[Chiefwaffles]

You thought of an interesting idea today - some kind of data synchronization device - but you couldn't nail down the specifics. You're close, but you just have to get a better idea of what you want to make.
((I'm unsure what you meant by that action, RAM - Do you want to combine all the "extra data" spoilers into one or something like that..?))

So putting that in the back of your mind, you decide to put the stolen borrowed computer parts from the university into your computer. It's still running an extremely makeshift OS that can just store data and execute your own programming, but hey, at least it's working at a non-snail's pace now! Internet connectivity is actually pretty simple thanks to your genius solutions. That is, buying $20 of cabling, taking a shovel to some underground cabling, and putting two and two together.
You now have internet! Just don't expect service or speed.

You harvested 2 ml and sold 2 ml of venom today for $60. It's getting a bit strange how you've been able to sell all your venom lately. But disregarding that, you injected a tiny diluted amount - just enough to feel the effects - of venom into yourself today. Only a couple more years!

1.) I'll be 100% honest - I'm not going to have you accidently inject yourself with venom unless you're basically asking for it in your actions. It's not conductive to gameplay and too random for my likings. So regarding venom immunization, I also recommend doing that via a more science-y sudden solution. It'd take years to do it using your current method.
2.) I probably shouldn't be doing this but
PSST
I HAVEN'T ACTUALLY COMPLETELY CLOSED OFF THE GANG "PLOTLINE"
DO WITH THIS INFORMATION AS YOU PLEASE

[S34N1C]

Let's try to upgrade the OS into something more useful. Get some ideas from the university computers.

[RAM]

((O thought maybe a socket or something with associated software and such so that just whenever we walk past our terminal, and devices we have will just easily plug into it and then we can just assume that all of our devices have the same data on them unless there is some specific reason not to. Of course, currently we have no other devices, so it is a moot point, but I thought to get this out of the way before proceeding onto a dozen different devices all clamoring to choose what data we will be needing on any given day... After this is done I was thinking of maybe some faux cybernetics, like a waist-mounted computer with a monocle peripheral with a video camera and text recognition to automatically spell-check, dictionary-reference anything that we haven't informed it as being in our vocabulary, recognise and store faces, perform mathematical calculations... We could also get a wrist-watch peripheral with a port for further peripherals, so that we can send a video-feed from what we are holding into our monocle, Plug our system into foreign devices, project images onto surfaces, give cats an irresistible urge to sleep on our arm...))
