World: 72 Dark sky is periodically shattered by bright blue-green explosions. The flat, artifical rocky ground outside the portal holds the scars of fire and explosives, and in the distance a large mountainside carving is in terrible disrepair, two of the four faces are completely crumbled, while the last bearded figure has an undetonated bomb lodged in his left ear, causing cracks to run through his face. A battered green sign lays bent and slightly rusted off to the side near the ship's portal, bearing the words, "...oun.. ..hmore... ..ext.. exi...

With the wood, I shall craft generic mechanisms, and once again give them to group storage.
attempt: 46+20+1=67
quality: 57
base influence: 6+57+36(wood)=99
Taking one of the planks from group storage, you begin to cut out some mechanisms from the wood. Palm isn't the best wood to make strong machinery from, but with your skill and a little density increasing pressure, you manage to create two gears, and three interlocking smaller ones. All together these mechanisms could be used for a great many generic things.

You pull up your sleeves, quite dashing by the way, and light your diving glowing forge powers. You ready your hands to work as tongs. Prepare your mind to fold, and beat, and quench and heat red hot. Then you turn and grab the platinum... Platinum right? Err, you realize far too late that you forgot to get any platinum from group storage and have wasted the day planning and preparing with nothing to do.

Dave's not here man, Just the colors.. Do you think God gets stoned? I think so... look at the platypus. These shoes should be president! In fact I think now we've reached a point now, where the powers that be really have sort of vested interest in all of us being stoned out as much as possible all the time so we don't know what's going on, and we don't care. I'm so ghetto I hate myself. Popcicles. Are you drooling on my diggeri-doo? Best name for the Ethernet cable: "The warm umbilical of knowledge". You'd be surpised how much joy I can derive from a foam-rubber aligator. Let them eat my roommate's birthday cake. Man let's go to the jungle gym and get some Skor bars while we watch the pokemon. Uh, when did the radio start breathing? I could dive right into your shirt right now. Space is a shoelace. Monkey. I'll be right back, my car's probably hungry.
Ok suffice it to say, Osin is long gone from reality right now. The fumes comming from his work area would kill a parrot, and the smoke that fills it conceals everything that he's doing, all you hear is the continuing recital of whatever that is he's saying. Best not to listen too long, you might ooze brain cells out your eyeballs. Later, after the smoke clears, Osin is sitting cross legged on the floor of the ship his eyes rolled way back in his head. Before him sits a shining piece of metal that hurts a sane man's eyes to look at. The metal is warped, smooth, reflecting light in all directions, almost crystaline, and emitting a deep red smoke from the top, with a longer thin piece that looks like it is made of gossamer thread. What you see before you is the Holy Grail of Stoners. Hippies would kill whole redwood forests to get their hands on this thing, it's
that impressive.

I dump the water back into group storage, and claim the sawdust bowl, lotus lift, and wooden gears.
I Trade them with any one I can find. (Not the Katana however)

Gathering up the bowl, lift, and gears, you head out into this strange wasteland. It takes very little time to find someone, well actually you are found. The object is around 50 feet tall, and a loudspeaker blares down at you with questions in irritated brittish english. Eventually you make the pilot of the mech understand that you want to trade some things, and they take you back to their base camp. The war they seem to be fighting is going badly, with much gurrila fighting on both sides. However, the english camp has a quartermaster who has been known to send local items back across the atlantic to eccentric buyers. And he offers to trade for your items. Along with a fistfull of british pounds, you are given a military issue, metalic thermos filled with dark coffee, and a sort of electric blanket with no cord, battery, or visible heating source that you can see.

Carve an image of Cheddarius getting blown up and Fil laughing at him on another bone
attempt: 20+2=22
Still holding the femur you thought about engraving yesterday, you decide to try again with a different subject. However you are interrupted by a rush of Medical... bots? They are sort of two dimensional beings of light with no arms, that run by you and head into the infirmary. You catch a glimpse of what used to be Cheddarius laying on a slab of some sort of marble. The lump of bluish muscle is totally without skin, and blood is oozing everywhere, as a giant mechanical arm equipped with tweasers carefully extracts tiny slivers of metal from his body. Your stomach turns, and you decide to let well enough alone for now at least.
