Inkdisk Revision{Probably a design, now that I wrote it all up.}[Maybe for later]
Sub-weapon: Vortex Spiral Inkdisk
A device that makes use of the Super Sea Snail, Strange things Super Sea Snails.
Casing is Super Sea Snail Treated Plastics, these are designed to never melt under heat, as well as turning heat to energy, cooling the casing, and maintaining the compression of the Ice Gem inside. This central casing is key to hold the ink.
These casings also hold a number of Super Sea Snail Filters, cool and ready to go. 2 to be specific, one on each side. The casing is malleable, to better fit the gem and hold it.
SSS Treated Plastic is made with Super Sea Snail Slime during it's production, leaving it malleable. Easy to place the gem inside through the filters. Super Sea Snails are strange things.
Super-compressed Ink, the Ice Gem- A ground Super Sea Snail Shell is added to a large batch of ink. This crystalizes the ink into an Icy Ink Gemstone, about the size of a fist.
Ice normally forms from cooling, and is expanded. This type of ice however, forms from pure compression, shrinking it. It is important to immediately case the Ice Ink Gem, before it heats up and explodes back to it's liquid ink state.
These two form the core of the VSI. Now that it has been built, the various parts are added on.
Ring around the core
This ring contains the timer and basic circuitry, as well as a button that when pressed, primes the disk to go off. Pressing it twice however stops it from going off. Instead 6 Sticky Anchors are primed. When the Disk is placed flat on a surface, 3 of them go off, sticking it, and the other side of the VSI triggers, splaying ink up and out. This can serve as a shield, temporarily, as well as ink any Octoling silly enough to cross the stream of ink spray.
As for the single button press, you have 2 seconds before it activates, spraying ink from both sides. Be sure to throw it skillfully, though wildly will do as well as the ink flies everywhere along its ark. As an added bonus, it explodes when it hits something solid, the Ice Ink Gem instantly turning back to ink as the casing's fire mechanism is damaged, discharging the remainder.
Needless to say, do not drop, bump, or others smash it against a wall unless you want to fly. There is a lot of ink in such a small package.
Can also just be thrown, but that's not as fresh. Still blows up though.
Sticky Anchors use Super Sticky Sea Snail Slime to stick when they go off. There are 6, 3 on each side in a triangle formation. They are connected to the ring itself, and it's more like there are three than six Sticky Anchors.
Imagine a Triangle, their are 3 points. Noe imagine those points have a ball on them. Now imagine that ball splitting open to form a T stand. Those are the Sticky Anchors.
Button and Sensor
Button on one side, Sensor on the other. The Button is just a button. The Sensor sensing where the flat surface is, and fires that sides Sticky Anchors. And this triggers the other side of the Sub-weapon to fire. Simple system here. Needless to say, the Sensor uses the Eyes of the Super Sea Snail to serve this purpose.
All in all, this design requires the entire Super Sea Snail to make. As well as some Plastic. Looking at this now, this strikes me more as a design than a revision.
Ah well, it's there for later.
