One second I was carefully watching my surroundings, and the next a bullet whizzed past my ear as I jumped to the left and aimed my laser at the sniper. A tiny delay and the laser honed in on the shooter. Zap. Another dead. That was far too close to comfort. My heart was pounding like a jack-hammer, and my head was filled with a mixture of joy and fear. The previous disgust was gone, replaced by a very intense excitement at finally sticking it to the enforcers who love to take liberties down here. I didn't even care whether or not they were family men or women, and not if they were good people either. They upheld a system that oppressed me and mine, and that was enough for me.

'What the actual fuck?' Orion thought, utterly bewildered. He struggled to keep his reaction in check with a neutral, understanding nod but couldn't stop a few involuntary twitches.

 I sighed as I looked at the pile of pipes. I had to actually reforge the material to get anywhere, but I didn't have a real forge. Vander had a forge, but it was in the Lanes themselves and this warehouse was quite a ways away. No, I had to deal with this here. The only thing I could do was to use one of my torches to heat up the metal and recast it in a mold. I needed tiny frames to hold both glass and mirrors, in addition to a keyboard, mouse, and a computing cluster outside of the orb. Instead of going for a mechanical keyboard, I would use the light of the orb to concentrate into a holographic keyboard and a virtual mouse that would give me the ability to use the 'mouse' in a 3d space. Similarly, the same holographic technology would be used to give me a display screen. I didn't need to have a variety of colors in order to process data and make designs, so I didn't mind the blue color the orb already shone with.

 I couldn't help but sigh, "Alright, well… Thank you." I still had enough materials to start my projects with, but far from enough for real production. Still, I could make a few prototypes and workshop the designs. The most critical design was the super-computer. After thinking about the theory I read in Jayce's notes and the few books I managed to devour, I knew that I couldn't simply use the hex orbs as a battery to power up a computer. If I made a normal computer, it would be far too slow to be worth it. I would have to iterate for a few years before it became a really good computer, and that would have to include a lot of raw materials and production capabilities. What I wanted to do instead was to use the reality-altering properties of the orb to go straight to quantum computing. The orb had some sentience, as clearly displayed by Viktor's attempt at making a sort of computer/anything device in Arcane. However, Viktor didn't really recognize its sentience and thus couldn't shore up against it turning against him. I, however, already knew about this property of the orb and could thus work with it.

 I was boosted first and then gave Mylo a hand. VI came next, and together Mylo, me and VI dragged Claggor up. It was hard, but he was stronger than one might think. One thing to remember about the world of Runeterra is that humans are naturally stronger than humans on earth, so people can do some things that might seem impossible for a normal human. That's how champions are made, after all. Most physical champions rely on getting passively infused with magic that turns them stronger while they train. If you have enough willpower in Runeterra, you can literally become superhuman through sheer determination and hard work. The addition of technology, magic, or other gear also helps. This is how VI becomes a champion. Her hard work improves her body beyond human limits. Together with her hextech gauntlets, she becomes a fierce warrior. Jinx on the other hand uses a combination of her marksmanship, hextech and chemtech. I might do the same, but I've always been a fan of using my brain for the most part. I might use something different than straight up guns and explosives. Drones, for example, as well as the aforementioned power-armor. Maybe I could make an army of robots or drones controlled by my super-computer AI? The possibilities were endless, and for the most part I wouldn't be required to go in guns blazing. It might sound fun, but the risk outweighs the benefit. No one in Piltower would be used to my sort of tactics either, because they would always expect to have a tangible enemy to fight against, while I would be far more elusive than that.
