[Armok]

We are a scientist who knows biology. Getting within a lightyear from anything related to religion will turn our pride into a burst of gamma radiation.

[dragnar]

Unless of course we do so only to mock those who fall for it.

[The Doctor]

Yeah

We can make Robo-Abomination Jesus.

[Jopax]

For now i think we should focus on finding parts and developing skills, with the money we have i say get ourselves and internet connection and make sites for money, it's a nice way to earn money and develop programming.Also look for an abandoned warehouse or a hangar(according to Mythbusters LA is full of those)

[Pandarsenic]

Alright, so I've been working on this plan for a while, tell me what you think.

>Sleep until 9ish in the morning.
>Go to University Campus.

>Remember that the non-teaching staff (security, cleaning ladies, cafeteria workers, Parts Allocation Workers) were smart enough (and not nearly enamoured enough with your old professor) to know it was your robot that was stolen.  They are all sympathetic to our cause.

>Remember that the University Cafeteria gives free/cheap meals to anyone who presents a valid student I.D. from the last 5 years.
>Remember we still have our I.D. because we left a 2 years ago.

>Remember Engineering department, Parts Allocation section, will give free/cheap parts to anyone who presents a valid student I.D. from the last 5 years.
>Obtain Light sensors, accelerometers, servos, stepper motors, GPS modules, cameras, etc.

>Sell Programming textbook to a promising young student.
>Offer tutoring to the promising young student.
>In exchange, obtain money/parts/food.
>All the while, brainwash him to our cause using our Genius Intellect!

>Steal an unguarded, generic backpack.
>Tie a copper wire somewhere onto the bag.  This way if somebody comes after us claiming we stole their bag we can claim that we legally bought this, and added this copper wire to avoid any confusion such as this.
>Search for any Phat Lewt.
>Keep textbooks related to any sciences we don't have yet (LAZORZ!!!)
>Sell textbooks we don't need (Bio, Killbotics, Programming)
>Keep anything that might prove useful.
>Use backpack to help carry our Phat Lewt in the future.

Everything I bolded is off-limits.

If you try to remember something highly advantageous, it probably won't work. Plus, this isn't the same university.

And in case you forgot, you disappeared overnight ages ago.

The other things there are valid, save for that your only book is the PROGRAMMING one.

[GlyphGryph]

Well, since you still haven't done any of the actions, spend some time making that chemistry recipe, get some sleep, and then head to university so we can sell BOTH books.

Also, he meant from the stolen backpack.

Also Also DO IT DO IT DO IT.

Just pick your favorites, I want something to happen!

[Pandarsenic]

You go out to your rat trap, slide a tin plate under it, flip it over (surely the rat can survive that), and place the spoon on top of the plate as a small weight in case the rat can scale the inside of the bucket, then take it, the Anklebiter, and the rope back inside.

Then, you decide to feed your curiosity about the Hallucinogen-Reactive combination, because as a Man of SCIENCE! you need to know. You mix the two and rapidly place them in a small metal container, then take cover behind your workbench; when they fail to explode, you reclaim the substance.

You aren't sure what it does, though...

Gallons of gasoline reclassified as medium-size items because it's absurd that you might be carrying four around.

Do we know how much an upgraded tool set would cost?

I say we combine various chemicals, see what happens. Even if we just find out it doesn't work, it'll be good to know what all the chemicals combine with each other to make.

Sedative+Reactive
Stable+Base
Depressant+Stable

all come to mind.

[Pandarsenic]

Stable Chemicals, you note while consulting your book, are mostly used for the various performance enhancers, generally for mitigating the, ah, frequent explosiveness of Reactive Chemicals. Adding them as such would just produce Diluted Chemicals, which are annoying to deal with.

Hmm, maybe next time we go to the scrapyard, we could loot some catalysts, getting us precious scrap metal. Then using our chemistry set to make 3 batches of purified acid and mixing 3 * purified acid + precious scrap metal to get crude dissolved cataclyst. We could either use that raw or mix it with 2*base to get crude solid catalyst, both of which would help us getting better substances.

I see. Can we look up if acid and base has any value in drug formulae the way depressants do, or are they just for rocket fuel and the like?

I'd also like to see what hallucinogen + reactive makes, but I suspect our chemistry skill might not be high enough to try "add more power" style chemistry.

I do want to try Sedative + Reactive, though.

[Pandarsenic]

You have a Reactive + Hallucinogen in your inventory. You made it a few posts back. You just have no idea what it does, safe for that it has not yet exploded.

[IronyOwl]

Oops, yeah. I meant one up from that. Not that we'd know what that did either, but worth a shot when we're better at this.

[Pandarsenic]

Generally, with CHEMISTRY stuff, dicking around with unknown formulas is the fastest way to level (once you learn what they do, at least).

Chemicals have the same effect no matter what your CHEMISTRY level is, more or less. Higher levels unlock new stuff by getting you more potent base chemicals, better quantities of the stuff, etc.
