The Invincible Hero 109 The Improvizier

"The one problem we mechanics have is having the right equipment for stars.h.i.+ps or whatever we're trying to work on. This problem exists less often when we are on a larger s.h.i.+p such as this or if we are at a well-supplied base.

If, however, we find ourselves on a mission or at a poorly supplied base we find ourselves improvising. Improvisation is fine in a pinch, but if you're trying to keep yourself and your friends alive, improvisation can be deadly!" he said.

Freg grunted, growled, drooled, and nodded his head as he listened to Boval.

"To solve the problem while recognizing the limited resources we can travel with; I've come up with a device," he said.

Boval pulled out a series of rectangular boxes of different sizes. Grabbing the smallest box which was about the size of a harmonica, then reached into a pouch on his left shoulder. From there, he pulled a compact rectangular object and plugged it into the first object. A "s.h.i.+h-s.h.i.+h" sound was made and Boval laid the smaller compact object on a box he was using to display his devices.

Freg climbed up the box and grabbed the discarded object, shook it, and then put it back down. It seemed to be empty of whatever was in it previously.

"Let's say you've got a broken PV Skiver and all you need is a 381.6 CV circuit, but you don't have a 381.6 CV circuit what do you do?" he asked.

Freg scratched his head for a few minutes and then barked, growled and evil laughed at Boval.

"You're right, you could use a 32 Rammar KR circuit and file off the filitino plating and use it as a makes.h.i.+ft 381.6 CV circuit if you had one. Unfortunately, the KR circuit is being used to control your liquid Narl fluid to control a bivo pump you've spliced into your double peek Twino because of an overheating thie activator," he said.

Freg looked puzzled for a few moments and finally shrugged his shoulders.

"I'll tell you what you do, you use this new Improvizier device I've invented. There are two ways to create the circuit you need. The first is to load the Improvizier with quantum molecules (Qmolecules). program in the pieces you need and a.s.semble. Watch," he said.

Boval swiped his finger over the top of the device which brought up an electronic screen. Typing in the object he wished to create, a flap at on end opened and shut as a delicate piece of the circuit was produced. More pieces of the circuit were produced until Boval received a total of 37 pieces. Some of the pieces were microscopic while others were only barely big enough to be seen unaided by eyesight alone. Boval quickly a.s.sembled the pieces using tools from a small kit he pulled from his tool belt.

Finished with his work, Boval lifted a circuit about the size of his thumbnail and showed it off to Freg.

"There you have it, a newly produced 381.6 CV circuit," Boval said.

Freg's eyes widened as he took the circuit and examined it carefully. Taking the circuit in his right hand, Freg reached to his tool belt and pulled out a scanner of some kind and tested the circuit. After getting the results from the scan, Freg became very excited. s...o...b..r, growls, snarls and evil laughter filled the air.

"Yes, I know it's awesome, saves s.p.a.ce, but the best thing is this is only part of its use," Boval laughed.

"Let's say you don't have any of these Qmolecule dispensers," he said as he pointed at the empty canister he used earlier.

"Now you're stuck! Only, you aren't stuck because the Improvizier can be used to create Qmolecules!" Boval said with excitement.

Freg didn't believe him. He shook his head and made a round shape with his mouth while making a monkey noise.

"I'm not lying, watch!" Boval grabbed a piece of sc.r.a.p metal from another pouch and showed it to Freg.

"As you can tell this is just a piece of steel, but watch what happens when I put it into the slot on the side," Boval immediately put the piece of steel into the Improvizier and pushed a b.u.t.ton on the screen that said, "reclaim." After a quiet moment, a green light shone on the screen. Boval opened the slot and showed Freg it was empty.

"Now, watch this," Boval said.

Freg watched as Boval pressed a couple of commands and touched a green b.u.t.ton that said "create from last." after a few moments, thirty-seven pieces came out of the slot. Boval a.s.sembled the pieces and held up a brand new 381.6 CV circuit.

Freg made a disbelieving face and started shouting.

"It's not magic, I promise!" Boval said with a laugh.

"Here, try it for yourself," Boval handed the small device over to Freg and have him a couple of Qmolecule dispensers.

Freg earnestly tested the device for over an hour. He finally put it down and cupped his chin with his index finger and his thumb while starring at the device. Finally, he barked out his comments while letting out a particularly sinister laugh.

"I don't mind selling it but that's for later. Right now, I need to test it and see if it can do what I hope it can. I want you to help me test it by building our very own starfighter," he said.

Freg's eyes got big once more and made a few comments.

"I'm not planning on creating an entire starfighter using just this little Improvizier, that would take forever. That's why I built these larger Improviziers," he indicated the other rectangular boxes of various sizes.

Freg made a few more comments while looking at the devices.

"Of course these are too small, I want to build much larger versions of the Improvisier to create the frame and other large pieces. The problem is I don't have the materials to make the larger units or a place to build the starfighter. I know you have some family working on the s.h.i.+p and thought you could get us a place to work and materials," Boval said.

Freg laughed evilly.
