4th Repair ~ [Dictated] ~ [Backdated to the 26th]

[There's a loud clattering over the journals to welcome you to Boxing Day morning, before a voice filters out over.]

Well, festive greetings, or whatever you folks like to call it. Seamus Harper here, bringing you a deal you can't resist. You ever wanted something electrical, but you couldn't ask the castle for it? Robotics, electronics, all the comforts of your homes but couldn't bring yourself to bring down karmic retribution on yourselves for asking our captors?

Look no further!

I, Seamus Harper, will happily build anything you so desire, as long as it's plausible. I won't be building no mech suits or star ships. That would take too long and cost a lot. But anything else, or help on projects, or even some advice, I'll be happy to help out.

For a small fee, of course. But, don't despair, because I'm offering my first job absolutely free until the end of January, mostly for those skeptics that don't believe I'm a genius. Call it a winter sale.

What've you got to lose?

[Church]

Things might take a little longer. I still need a replacement metal for the skeleton, everything around here has too many impurities. Shouldn't be too much longer, though.

[Mark/Harry]

Hey, uh, you mind doing me a favour and advertising my new business venture? I'll show you how to secure your signals so not even I can hack them in the future, if you want.

[Of course... because, why wouldn't something go wrong. Still, he was lucky it was just a delay and that Harper was helping in the first place. He made sure he got his grumbling out of the way before responding.]

Hey I've waited this long... it's not like a little longer is going to kill me. Let me know if I can help or anything.

Church

[inharperwetrust]

I'll be fine. I'm working on something. Should have it in a few weeks to get the right amount smelted.

Re: Church

[originalcopy]

Right, well have fun genius.

Church

[inharperwetrust]

Thanks, non-genius.

[psych0p0mps]

oh
i had to think about this for a second but i actually do have some robots that need finishing
if you are interested in that

[inharperwetrust]

Robots, huh? Sure. I can take a look.

Hell, if they're all the same, I'll even do a bulk load.

[psych0p0mps]

well theyre all different
i think there are two of them since there were three total but the guy who designed them finished one before he was sent away
they are large bipedal robots kind of like tanks with legs
i cant make heads or tails of the schematics myself but im pretty sure i still have them

Please, like I'd charge for gettin' the word out. It's what I do. And besides, if the castle wants to let someone hack my shit, they're gonna be able to hack my shit, no matter what we do to it.

'Preciate the offer, though.

Could at least make it harder for them. Seriously, it was a walk in the park to get into that broadcast system.

Could even program a few nasty surprises. Nothing major, just enough to make 'em think twice.

Harper

[hard_talker]

Let me think about it, okay? I don't want it to come back and bite either of us in the ass....

You heard anything interesting? [because really, that would be a bigger help]

Mark

[inharperwetrust]

I've been on one of those castle losses for the past week or so, haven't been able to get to the journal, so, sorry, boss. Nothing this week.
