Ooh, that's a good idea. Diode sounds appropriately derpy.
+1 to this...
I have no objections to returning to the scholarship terminal to invest in shop class.
However, I think we should let Jameson invest 3 times in his class by using his 2 memories and 1 source of remains. I'd also like to check what our new golem needs to improve its class.
...and this.
You lead the party, including your new friend
Diode, back through the orange warp distortion and into the scholarship room, where you approach the terminal.
The console seems to detect your intent to use it, and a keyboard appears floating right in front of you. You get to work improving your grade in shop class.
Your mind passes into a manic and rhythmic state.
Vrrrrrrrrrrrr! Whrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Bzzzzzzzzz! Goes the power drill at the core of your spirit. The screws of inspiration scream out in ecstasy as the bit finds them! As each screw is driven into place, your project becomes clearer and more alive! Slowly but surely you wrestle back control over your brain, and translate the fruits of your trip into a written proposal to submit to your teacher...
-Triumphant Memory Removed from Ring!Next you order Jameson to approach the terminal. The machine again senses your intent, and a funnel rises from the massive desk the screen sits upon. Instictively you pour a unit of the green dust you picked up off the fallen dweller nerds into the opening.
-1 Unit Dust of Eternity
-Jameson's MemoriesYour undead pet takes a step forward towards the screen... And suddenly the screen begins to flash red, as if it is demanding your attention.
