spiralefes starter for @etherfueledâ!
âAw, fuck.â Six stares in dismay at his soldering iron, which had suddenly and catastrophically diedâwhereupon it discharged a surprisingly large cloud of acrid black smoke. Luckily for him it hadnât hurt him in any way, nor had it damaged what would hopefully be a vacuum robot (the thought of possessing one was rather alluring, he couldn't deny that.) The man simply found himself short of a tool⊠and therefore, short of his goal.
For a moment he considers flagging down one of the instructors but for some reason his pride wonât let him. Instead he glances over to the next table, where a young man is busy fiddling with his own project.Â
âHey, buddy. Can I borrow your soldering iron for a bit? Mine gave up the ghost.â
