[ Hiro has wasted zero time in getting himself settled in at StarkTech. Little plastic bins of tools and supplies have been showing up at his designated work area all week, and now here's the kid himself with a box of tools on one side and a fresh pad of paper on the other. All ready to get started and make some brilliant engineering designs!

... Okay, maybe this one isn't the best idea. He scraps it, crumples the paper, and tosses it into a bin. Same with the next one. Annnnd the next one. Before long the bin is overflowing and Hiro's pad of paper is completely blank. Ugh, he hates starting new projects. Once he's rolling, then there's no stopping him - but starting up from nothing? Complete and utter mind block. Sure, he's got some thoughts from the week so far, but actually sketching out possibilities and implementation strategies is making his head hurt just to think of it. And the background noise from his technokinesis is terribly aggravating under those circumstances.

Use that big brain of yours to think your way out. Look for a new angle. That's what his brother would have done.

So that's how Hiro comes to be hanging upside down from his chair, head braced against the floor while he levitates his comm in front of his face. At least he can practice his technokinesis like this. ]

okay guys name like. the COOLEST thing you've ever seen, tech-wise. because wow i am dry on ideas today and I need something SUPER AWESOME to build.

or if you have something SUPER AWESOME that needs repairs i guess i could do that too. genius engineer and all.

[ Humble, isn't he. For the vast majority of folks out there, the only thing he's going to do is text ... but if you happen to stop by StarkTech (or work there), you can see him in his all his upside-down glory. ]

[ That...is a good question. Because all her magical girl stuff is, well, magical. So Hime can't really think of something that's super cool tech wise.

So, she makes something up. ]

You should make something like a super timer that can tell me when the food's just right. Cause it always SAYS cook for ten minutes, but with some things they need to cook for nine minutes and some things need to cook for eleven minutes and it's annoying.

[microbrobotics]

... A timer? Don't they make stuff like that already? You'd just need something to keep an eye on the temperature and stop when it's done.

[sonhobbler]

Saw an electron microscope once. [he is useless for this hiro just ignore him]

voice; moderate encryption

[microbrobotics]

[ Oh my god. That's so bad he HAS to yell at Stilinski over the comm instead of via text. He punches up the encryption a notch so he's not broadcasting his voice all over the network then turns it on. ]

You are the worst. Literally the worst. Haven't you at least seen a sci-fi movie?

[Action]

[hands4healing]

[Winry listens to Hiro's post, and wanders around until she finds him. Hanging upside down from his chair.]

Get up.

[microbrobotics]

[ You don't just get up from a pose like this. First, he loses control of the comm floating above his head - so it smacks directly into his face. Then he kind of twists and falls off the chair completely. It rolls away pathetically. ]

-- ow! Hey!

[The tech in Hollow Bastion was pretty cool, but all that was evil. Likewise, the simulation DiZ used to imprison Roxas was interesting from an objective point of view, but he's pretty sure VR technology on that scale already exists here, so he can't say that either. But he'd like to come up with something, so he wracks his brains.]

High tech ice cream machine. It has to do popsicles as well as soft ice cream.

[Some of that sea-salt ice cream would be good right now.]

Re: text

[microbrobotics]

..........ice cream ... i mean sure i could do that, but what is with people wanting food??

that bitching hologram armlet kaiden has
he can like do anything on it or something
that and back home we have a robot girl who shot bullets from her fingers
and kind of stared at our leader all the time but whatever

[microbrobotics]

NOW we're finally talking! man holographic displays i've worked with before so it'd just be getting it small enough to attach to your arm.

also shut up. what's she made out of? metal? plastic? carbon fiber?

[bombshelled]

[ Lana wracks her brain to answer this.. She's not exactly a tech-nerd. ]

idk Spider-Man's web shooters are pretty cool?

[microbrobotics]

web shooters? like, strong enough to swing on?

[ex_question191]

Genius, huh? Can you invent something that lets me keyword search in a library book?

[microbrobotics]

use an electronic copy, doofus.

voice.

[standardization]

Do you have to flaunt the genius part?

[It sometimes takes a bit for Asami to openly side-eye someone, but her brows are sufficiently raised at that.]

[microbrobotics]

hey i'm being honest here. i'm GOOD and not just for my age.

video

[liverletdie]

Is all the blood rushing to your head supposed to help?

video

[microbrobotics]

[ Oh, hey Tony. For you, he'll flick on the video. Looks like he's got it dangling upside-down in front of his face. ]

It's not about the blood rush, it's about the new angle.

bioship. hands down coolest tech.

[He'd like to see you try to recreate Martian technology.]

[microbrobotics]

[ That ... would in fact be beyond his reach. ]

bioship? what, like a spaceship that's alive?

voice;

[gonfreaky]

A big robot that can tie my shoes!

[A beat.]

Or a car dogs could drive. Either one would be cool.

text response until indicated otherwise

[microbrobotics]

tying shoes i could do but why do you want something so BORING. robots should do things people can't!

time machine
though dude if you can manage to get chronal theory to work right here let me know

text; private

[microbrobotics]

... as much as i would LOVE a time machine that one is extremely not possible

trust me, i've looked into it already

[yatagarasu]

Little Thief. My dad's greatest - and probably only - invention. It can replicate crime scenes using holograms as long as you input the proper data about the place and the things and people in it. You can even indicate what things were there before but aren't now, and vice versa.

I actually have it with me but I'm gonna challenge you to come up with an upgrade.

[microbrobotics]

... okay now that is reasonably cool. lemme see it and i can totally upgrade it for you.

[stealwithit]

Alright, genius engineer, how about "automated bartender"?

[microbrobotics]

tooooootally doable. though. uh. possibly illegal?

[huntergames]

the microwaves here
and the video game consoles

[microbrobotics]

... both helpful and neat but i don't need to invent something that already exists.

[sharkweak]

[They're stuck inside a super hero comic book, right? So Rin will go full out anime here. (Not that he'd know anything about that.)]

Why don't you try a giant robot?

Re: voice;

[microbrobotics]

tempting. but where would i keep it?

[text] shhh i'm not late

[luckynumber42]

I don't know if it's "cool" exactly, more like halfway between "cool" and "freaky", but a portal to another universe.

...another one, I mean, one that I actually got to see before going through it.

it's all cool

[microbrobotics]

actually i've been through one too. "cool" and "freaky" is the right word for it.

[dragony]

Tangible holograms. To start.

[microbrobotics]

hmmmmm .... actually, that one's totally doable. holograms exist and i could make my microbots out of a transparent fiber...
