Okay... I think we should look into buying... something. since we're low on cash, I don't think that we should spend too much...

[IronyOwl]

We shouldn't buy anything until we have a good plan that simply needs money to succeed. Right now everything we'd want to make can be made from scavenged parts or needs a lot more than $300 to work.

..we should also go dumpster-diving..  ..steal a shopping cart..

Good resources, but both are beneath us.  Build a bot to do this.

[Acanthus117]

Yeah, you got a point. So, what now?

Yeah but we can't make a robot complex enough for that, we just don't have the parts.  We need a job.

How close do we live to the U.S.-Mexico border?  Maybe we could make a robotic drug runner (so we don't hurt our MEGALOMANIA).

>Remember our extremely rich and generous benefactor.

[Urist McOverlord]

Check watch.

Knowing the time could aid us in planning our next move.

In the meantime, do we have any way to observe our rat's behaviours?
(Possible bio-skillups?)

[IronyOwl]

Actually... if it works, trying to gain our rat's trust might be an excellent way to level biology. With proper training it'd be like a prebuilt stealthbot that comes with its own programming.

[Pandarsenic]

You check the time on your laptop, lacking a watch.

Four in the morning. My, how the time flies.

Like the time you spent under the wing of your rich and generous benefactor, Professor... fah. His name isn't worth remembering. He's horrifically scarred and discredited. Serves him right for his betrayal. All his fatherly attention amounting to no more than an attempt to steal your first robot.

They say in the Mad Science circles that you never forget your first robot/biological horror/etc., and the fact that you lost your first so tragically only embitters you further. You take a moment to shake your fist at the sky. It's actually roughly the direction of a couple of gang member brothers who live here, but going outside to shake your fist at the actual sky would be cold.

[IronyOwl]

Oooh, I'm sensing a possible drug connection. Once we get that far, that is.

In the meantime, let's spend the early morning attempting to train our new rat. We shall call him... Squiggles?

[xtank5]

Actually... if it works, trying to gain our rat's trust might be an excellent way to level biology. With proper training it'd be like a prebuilt stealthbot that comes with its own programming.

If we could rig up some sort of small digital camera and an electrode into the rat's pleasure center.  Then we could remotely control it by training it to look where to go or at things to grab, then in order to tell it what to do we remotely stimulate the pleasure center.  We could have rat-borgs stealing things for us in the night.

[Acanthus117]

but they won't be able to get anything big.

[IronyOwl]

Too crude. If we're gonna have ratborgs, we need them to be proper ratborgs, not just remote controlled cars that happen to be made of meat.

[xtank5]

At least these ones can be used to take or manipulate things and spread disease.

[Acanthus117]

So, I guess we gotta find a way to get into the warehouse.

Hmm... what if we somehow give some thugs drugs and make them kill the guard or something?

[IronyOwl]

That spares us the danger but not the inconveniences. Guard ends up dead, security increases.

At the moment, it's probably too close to daylight to go out and steal things anyway. If possible we should focus on making things or doing things nobody will notice/care about.

My vote is still for training the rat.
