[02] || [Doc Brown's Amazing Inventions] || [Open]

[doc_brown]

Characters: Doc, possibly Marty, Einstein (the dog) and You
Setting: Workshop (15th Floor) on Saturday 26th
Format: Prose or action, whichever you prefer
Summary: Following Marty’s announcement on the network, Doc keep working on his inventions and now accept requests. He offers free pancakes and free cup of coffee to anyone visiting the 'shop' too. Feel free to ask him to invent you something if there's something you need or just visit his working place.
Warnings: None. Marty working with him, he may pop-up at any time.


The first and most noticeable thing in the part of the workshop that's being slowly turned into Doc's lab, are the clocks. There are over ten of them aligned next to each other and they are all absolutely perfectly synchronized. On a table next to them is hovering a black and rather bland hoverboard, with the text '#2 Prototype' written onto it. Under the table was Einstein, laying in a comfy bed for dog Doc made him, nomming on a pancake.

Speaking of pancakes, there is a wonderful machine that automatically produces pancakes regularly working on a table opposite to the one with the hoverboard. And next to it are some delicious pancakes already made and ready to be eaten. Next to it is a coffee maker and a few empty cups next to it.

In the background can be seen the first requests Doc got, and started working on. There's a very long sword awaiting for its owner with a little paper attached on it "For Sephiroth". On the walls there are some blueprints and below the beginning of Doc's work to make that weapon. It's not very advanced yet, but it progresses.

Doc himself can be seen working on some sort of super-computer he's assembled using what he found in the tower- And improved greatly since his last attempts at simulating a time travel. He's wearing traditional lab coat and goggles. There are three screens next to each other, a couple of keyboards and a mess of wire and electronic stuff bellow. The middle screen is that of a classical computer, reading as follow:



………………………………………………………………………………………………… Experiment #0005

Please input the variables then press enter to start the simulation



The left screen display the perfect reproduction of a Flux Capacitor with many texts and scientific calculation that are probably unreadable to most people. The screen on the right looks like a video game- It shows a weird car in the Cathedral Floor with nobody sitting in it. As this very moment, Doc is sitting in front of the computer, entering variable in the programs.

Giving the young man a glance - Marty, he figured - Sephiroth had to chuckle. "It was made for me," he offered in explanation, truly unable to communicate the bond between he and the weapon. "To fit my hand." And it did, flawlessly.

But perhaps he could explain a bit about other things... "SOLDIERs are genetically enhanced, as perhaps Cloud may have explained. They have greatly increased strength, stamina, speed and regenerative abilities." His eyebrow ticked up, green gaze returning to the steel in his hands. "I must disrecommend the process of such, however." Vehemently, if necessary.

"Nevertheless, I do greatly appreciate your help in the restoration. I'm in your debt, both of you."

[doc_brown]

First time Doc heard of soldiers on his end, and that sounded fascinating. Enhancing mankind's capabilities through genetics, that's something that had been envisioned back in his homeworld, but never came to fruition.

"That sound like a fascinating step forward in science...! That's a funny coincidence, I've just met a fellow member of profession who mentioned enhancing life was his purpose."

Guess who's he talking about.

"But may I ask why you would disrecommend the process? Does it harm health in more ways than it does good?"

There's worry in his voice though- He's clearly not the kind of scientist who would risk people's life in the name of science.

[intemperiae]

Oh, Sephiroth didn't have to wonder for very long. Hence his slight scowl.

"It does. Although some scientists might negate such side effects, those who've undergone the process would definitely disagree. The mental stress is...quite harsh, at least in the program SOLDIER designed."

Anguish flashed over his face briefly. "And many succumbed to its madness."

[doc_brown]

Oh, predictable in a way. Enhance the body at the cost of the mental health. Yeah, definitely not a good thing, what was the point anyway to enhance the body if the mind was to fail?

He frowns at the mention of 'some scientists' and 'madness' though.

"Great Scott, what kind of scientist would negate those side effects and proceed in spite of the risks? That's not how you treat a human being, or any living being for that matter! That's against all the principles and the deontology of the profession."

[intemperiae]

Welcome to ShinRa, Doc.

"Unfortunately, those overseeing the project felt the ends justified the means. They were more than willing to sacrifice many for a small payoff."

A shitload of good it did, however, given the state of ShinRa when Sephiroth and Zack had been forcibly removed to the Tower. And from later reports, it seemed their mistakes had definitely come about to bite them in their corporate asses, a nuance in which Sephiroth privately took wicked delight.

But to warn the Doctor... "The scientists overseeing the project were Dr. Hollander and Professor Hojo, the latter of which has somehow arrived here." Sephiroth looked at both Doc and Marty seriously. "Be cautious in your dealings with the good professor, sir. I speak from experience when I tell you the man is quite...paradoxical."

[doc_brown]

"Professor Hojo...? Great Scott!!"

He's going to facepalm for some thirty seconds or something. Nope, can't have heard that right. or he did but just, please tell him Hojo isn't that bad.

Since he kind of, gave him a copy of his researches so far.

"He's come to see me not so long ago, Cloud would have arrived ten minutes earlier they would have met. Are you certain that he is such a, paradoxical person? I spoke with him for quite a while and he appeared quite normal to him, if only absorbed by his studies."

[intemperiae]

Figured. Trust the Professor to seek out others of a similar ilk. But praise be to Shiva the Doc didn't seem to share the same mindset. Maybe there was hope, after all.

"Quite sure, Doctor. As one of his subjects myself, I'm quite familiar with the man's nature." Horrific though that nuance was.

"I would...take it as a personal favor if you were to limit discussions of any sort with the man, given what I know of the nature of his research. Despite the Professor's outward persona, the man isn't to be trusted." Have a stern look, Doc.

"At all."

[atouchofstrife]

He had let Sephiroth talk about the professor, instead, spending a few minutes looking at what Doc Brown had made so far with his sword. He also had to make a mental check list of the necessary supplies needed to create the weapon. On the Planet, he had used the material of his other swords for the construction of Tsurugi, but here he might have luck without having to find a WEAPON for a piece.

But the talk of Hojo brought him back, to glance over at Sephiroth and then to Doc Brown. He seemed like a nice enough person, but nice people can always be fooled by someone like Hojo.

"He's a lunatic." Yes, that was Cloud's personal opinion about Hojo. "I never met Hollander, but I had been a guest of Hojo's for four years. He was attempting to re-create Sephiroth's abilities by using a blank slate... a young cadet in the armed forces that had fallen in battle. The process had almost destroyed his identity if it hadn't been for a friend breaking him free."

A beat. He shifted a little, looking over at Sephiroth, trying to gauge his reaction. "He also used some of the same techniques on himself."

[deloreandriver]

Marty was growing more and more concerned. When he had first seen the good Professor, he had a funny feeling about him when he was skulking around, but it wasn't anything to pin point.

"Geez, Doc, that guy sounds like a real nutcase... I mean I can't imagine what you guys have been through, but..." He shrugs helplessly, wrapping his arms around his chest. "You think he'd do things like that here?"

[doc_brown]

"Damn... damn damn damn...!"

It's facepalm time for Doc. Sephiroth and Cloud both look like trustworthy men, he has no reason to doubt their words and indeed this Hojo had been quite curious. A real nutcase, Marty sounded it right.

"Great Scott, I have given to him a copy of all my results so far! The data I gathered from the four previous simulations and my theories to adapt the time displacement vehicle to this space-time continuum! He does not have enough data to build a flux capacitor on his own, but this is enough for him to progress on this path. Who knows what damage someone like him could do with those kind of information!"
