Baldur felt a burst of roaring laughter building up in his guts and the unusual desire to kiss the moustachioed scientist on the mouth “I admit I hadn’t considered that their armour might actually be gold instead of just decorated” He looked back at the two scientists “How long would it take you to build something like a Tesla coil?” He asked “An electric charge might be just what we need” He said with a smile. He was deliberately not asking for when they were, that was very low on his list of concerns.

SOO - Baldur

Toveka frowned. Of course! It hadn’t occurred to her to use the conductive metal to harm them more than merely holding them at bay with the shields. “I have a small replicator in here. So…” she frowned looking around. “Perhaps ten minutes, with Tesla’s help.” She glanced at the man with a smile. It would be amazing to watch him work and build his coil. “Do you know your needs off the top of your head, Sir? Or shall I find one of your patents?” She was more likely to let him build one of his coils rather than merely use their equipment. The less ‘ideas’ she gave him the better. And, she made a mental note, she would have to thank Baldur for the coil recommendation. She hoped it also came from a place of ‘prime directive’ thinking.

Tesla stroked his chin. “It should not take too long as long as you can get me the parts I need. This would be a good opportunity to test out some ideas I had regarding directing the stream of electricity better. In any case, I would be more than happy to be of assistance.”

Toveka glanced one final time at Baldur and then nodded to Tesla. “All right, but don’t get so caught up in experimenting this time that we can’t help at all.”

Over the next bit of time, she replicated the parts Tesla needed and let him use the table in the back of the office to assemble his contraption. She just hoped it worked. She wasn’t sure how much longer the force fields would hold in the doorway.

Leaving him for a moment, she came over with some vitamin laced fruit juice for Baldur. “Here, this will help with the fatigue. We’re going on little to nothing since this all started this morning. Why are they still here? Surely they know we sent the fragment with Tenkiller.” She shook her head. “They can scan the room and see there’s nothing here.”

As if to prove it, she moved to her desk and tapped out a scan of the Science Lab area. If she was correct, there wouldn’t be any readings left. The actual one was no longer visible on the scanners due to nearly triple layer shielding. So if she couldn’t read it, how could they?

(is there a reason they are still here? lol)

Baldur accepted the drink with a smile, he consumed the drink slowly so as not to start a coughing fit but he hadn’t realized just how thirsty he had become until now “Thank you” He grabbed a small dark handkerchief from his pocket to wipe the remains from his mustache hairs “Perhaps they simply want tips on proper beard grooming, which I am more than happy to supply them with” He said jokingly, not taking his eyes of the intruders on the other side of the forcefield.

SOO- Baldur

The scans revealed that while most of the lab was still ‘fine’ (as in as fine as it could be for a temporally displaced room), there were odd readings coming from one of the circuit boards for the room’s main computer.

Meanwhile Tesla stood up and wiped the sweat off of his brow. “I believe that we are all prepared. I have adjusted some shielding to direct the charge in their direction, and their suits should do the rest.”

“Good,” Toveka said and tapped Baldur on the shoulder, nodding behind them. “I think we should both get out of the line of fire. Even if we aren’t wearing gold.” She smiled and moved back.

Once they were out of the way, she nodded to Tesla. “This is your show now, Sir. But we need to clear them out so I can get to the main computer out there. Something’s not reading right and I need to make sure they didn’t plant anything in there during the chaos.”
