[ The feed clicks on to show Peter chilling by his ship in Vænnstaðr's park; he has a crossbow, blueprints and some metal pieces scattered on top of the crate next to him. For those looking at the ship behind the man, they might notice that there's moss growing on one side already and that Peter has put some plants on the roof to appease the resident Goddess -- because Skadi is a very scary, scary lady. ]

Ey there! Does anybody know how to turn a normal crossbow into an automatic one? Rocket was the weapon expert of the team and I'm more used to Quad blasters and arrows that fly on their own. [ Peter's smile wavers a little after that, remembering the owner of a said arrow, but it only lasts a second. ]

Anyway! I'm also curious about what kind of powers everyone has developed after being in the city for a while. It looks like there's quite a variety and lately, we've been discussing ways to protect ourselves in case of an emergency, as well as the need to evacuate the citizens quickly. One idea is to build big enough carriages and ships to transport people but these need to be protected too.

One of the wings of my ship is... [ The Guardian turns the camera so it focuses on the broken wing, half attached to the ship due to the twisted metal, some cables, and its inner structure. ] ...totally useless now but the turbines could be turned into wind turbines and the metal panels could be used to reinforce the carriages.

[ Do you want a medieval tank, guys? Because this how you get a medieval tank. ]

Problem is, I tried with axes and other blunt methods but I can't break it down on my own. That's why I was asking if anybody has powers strong enough to cut metal or melt it.

[ He turns the camera back to show himself and now that the angle has changed, it shows how there's a caracal lying on top of the intact wing of the ship as if she's sunbathing without any care in the world. Peter is seemingly oblivious to it all, not even looking concerned when the creature yawns and stretches, showing some really sharp fangs and claws. ]

Any kind of help would be welcome.

[ Guess who didn't realize all the threads in this network are public? This guy, cue Peter blushing at Nero's question. ]

Uhm...yeah. She did. I was 8 at the time but the name stuck.

[ He looks a little wary, as if he's waiting to be made fun off. ]

[sassery]

That's pretty cool, actually. Can't exactly say I'd keep it myself, but you do you.

[If he didn't know Peter, he would absolutely make fun of his name. But it's a family thing, and he likes Peter, so it gets not much in the terms of a biteback.]

[momsboy]

When I was a kid mom always said that my father came from the stars, that he was an angel. [ Boy, was she wrong about that. ] So she wanted to call me something that had to do with space.

[ Making fun of his nickname is rude but acceptable. Making fun of his mom, however, is a sure way to piss him off. Peter appreciates Nero not mocking him in any way. ]

What were your parents like?

[sassery]

[This takes a bit longer for Nero to reply, because wow, that's... a question for him, all right.]

uh
ig you could say they were nice
its hard to really describe them in detail bc its been a long time
but from what i remember she was kind and devoted a lot
and he definitely was more stern and strict

[It's not entirely a lie- Nero wasn't exactly close to his foster parents, and they died when he was still a kid. He sure doesn't know how his mother was and only just recently met his father- so yeah, definitely not talking about them for now.]

[momsboy]

Ah, uhm..that's not so bad then.

[ Oh...Peter didn't mean to bring up uncomfortable subjects. Sorry, Nero :( ]

[sassery]

[Luckily this is text so Nero doesn't show how much he's trying to avoid the subject.]

yeah it wasnt bad
i had good memories with them
and i had a family so thats what matters

[momsboy]

Yeah.

Family is the people you want to go back to, if you ask me. They're not always blood relatives.

[sassery]

dont i know it
i can definitely think of a few
its just something that comes naturally i guess

[momsboy]

Are any of those people occupying those thought in the city?

Yeah it does. Humans are pack animals, it's kind of inevitable. And even those who aren't human don't like to stay alone.
