    The ContraGrav generator burned itself out when the dropped screwdriver joined two or more contacts out of hundreds normally protected inside the casing, creating the stasis field. Or rather, it's still burning itself out because all time stopped inside the field when it was created, and Sam has no idea which ones caused it until she can examine it - which, based on some math she did based on the test power she was feeding it, should be twenty years from now.

    Unless she makes a lot of contragrav generators and shorts out different connectors under test conditions. This gives her a possible project and can be masked as her trying to improve her generator.

    It's also determining what'll happen if the shorts do occur in a failing generator. As you said, these tinker products require constant maintenance. She's done what she can to isolate the contacts to keep them from coming in contact, but if you determine that her generator has had a critical failure, a stasis field is one of the possible failures.

    I'll be posting tomorrow ish. Work, work work.

    Also, that makes way more sense, Enigma, gotcha.
    Be wary of paramilitaries. When the men with guns who have always claimed to be against the system start wearing uniforms and marching around with torches and pictures of a Leader, the end is nigh. When the pro-leader paramilitary and the official police and military intermingle, the end has come.

    I mostly took it as "the stasis field in my suit is actually super dangerous, but no one else knows its an issue, so other people shouldn't touch it" sort of thing.

    It would take another tinker or an experienced engineer to recognize that the generator in the Mk. 4 suit is over-engineered, which might be put down to an overabundant sense of precaution.

    ???

    Is this because I revealed a critical flaw in my design?

    Hm, well fuck all kinds of duck. Enigma, do you still feel comfortable continuing this rp? I could leave it open for people to join. If you don't want to continue this, that's fine too.

    We didn't get a new player during the week we had KRC, so I don't think we're going to see another player, really. hmm. Let me think.
