Ryan frowned at this. What anyone wanted with such a powerful EMP device Ryan couldn’t possibly guess, and that worried him, especially since it was his cousin. Ryan started to flip some switches on the control panel to ready EMPTE. He went to throw the last switch, then paused. “Would you like to do the honors of activating it Smith?” Ryan said over the hum of the machine.

“It would be my honor.” Smith said as he flipped the switch.

As soon as he flipped the lever, the machine made a loud whirring sound and electricity crackled in the air. As the whirring got louder, you could feel the electricity in the air, and then, once the power finished building, there was a huge pulse, and the lights in the room flickered, then went out. Slowly, one by one, the lights came back on. Ryan went over to check on the object that Smith had brought. “Well, I thought that was quite a success” Ryan said as he turned off EMPTE. “Does this satisfy your needs Smith?”

“I don’t know, I might need a little more time. I just got this power source, and while this first test was a success, there’s no data to tell me wether it is stable. I need to perform a few more tests, just to be safe. Could you give me perhaps… one more day? Just to ensure the stability of the power source, of course”

“Thank you kindly, that should be enough time. Alright, you guys heard me! Standard testing procedures, we’ve got 15 hours, so let’s get a move on!” Ryan started working on their standard testing procedures. He was so focused on his work, he completely forgot about Smith.

Smith removed himself from the lab satisfied with the results. “You can come out.” He spoke into an alleyway, Two men wearing olive green jumpsuits stepped forward, Military personnel.
“Do you have it?” The shorter of the two asked.
“Yes.” Smith pulled out the small device from earlier “I still find myself amazed that you can create moving pictures with this thing, And without it needing electricity to power it.” He answered as he handed the object over “Send Ms. Orville my regards “
“We’ll be back next re-“ the tall
One elbowed him in the ribs.
“We’ll be here tomorrow to pick it up.” The tall one corrected

The man leads them into a back room, furnished sparsely - a table, three chairs, and a few dented crates. He walks over to one of the crates, and pulls out several black bags. He looks at Adele.
“Das ist nicht nötig. Wir können ihnen vertrauen.” She says.
He shrugs, drops the bags, and heads to a third door. He opens it, revealing a set of steel stairs. He gestures downwards. “Sie wissen, wie das funktioniert.”
“Danke.” She says, and then says to Alexander, “Everything we need should be down here.” She descends. The man swears in german, and returns to the other room.
The stairs lead down roughly 15 feet, into what seems a sort of cellar. Orderly crates line two of the walls, with racks of clothing along another. Several racks of weapons are laid out at random.
“Most of this is government issue, but there’s some experimental weaponry that we’ve stolen. We should probably grab some gear for the others at the lab. Otherwise, help yourselves.”

“Fantastic.” Alexander intoned as he opened a crate, inside were several rifles, about 39 inches (99.06 cm) in length.
“A bit long, don’t you think?” he asked tossing one to Adele (@Winger ) before moving to another crate “they’ll be great for when we get the airship though.” he picked up a revolver and loaded before pocketing it. "Any ideas for what we should do in the department of disguises?

“Well Ryan said that his uncle was a Religious man so the clothes we’re wearing now would probably work, we’d just need to BS our way into him letting us in.” Alex placed a large bag in the middle of the room “Put the rifles and ammo in here.”

Ryan turns to Julia while they’re working on testing, and says “in a couple hours, I’m going to come back for this thing. Something is coming, and I need EMPTE to help defeat it. I know I sound crazy, but you have to trust me. I need to leave for now, but I will be back. If I’m not back by 7:30, start getting it ready to go on the lift. Thanks, see you soon.” Ryan waved to the others and started heading up the stairs.

George welded a few things to the pump, as he referenced a sketch he made. He took some gears out of his bag and placed them in the housing, then he welded everything to a plate with two holes. One of the the two had a standard attachment point for a hose while from the other poked out a pully. He sealed everything. “And this is it” he said to James “for the water supply we will use the emergency water tank in the ship and we will drive the thing with these belts right… here” George opened a big drawer labeled belt material and he took out a big and heavy spool. “To install it in the ship we will need to bring a few things, I’ve set them on the desk. Could you put them in my bag while I gather the last items?” He asked to james @TheCobaltCorsair

Adele drops in the rifle Alex handed her, and then walks over to some sort of heavy rifle mounted on it’s own separate pedestal.
“Anyone want this?”

George took a few things from the shelves but then he looked at the door to one of the back rooms “he said not to enter…” he thought to himself “he can’t just say something like that…” he continued as he walked towards the door. “Maybe I can see what’s behind this door…” and looked in the key hole but he couldn’t see anything “uff… what a shame” he took the things he gathered and went to put them in his bag.
