Max Meshuga: kicks the twisted metal Goddammit! This piece of junk is testing my last nerve!
i jump out of the machine and look at him
rolls his eyes What now? Can't you see I'm trying to fix this godforsaken contraption here?
well since your been working on it for 3 hours maybe i could help?
narrows his eyes You? Help me? snorts Yeah, right! I appreciate the sentiment, but trust me, I don't need your help.
im gonna help ya either way
pauses, grumbling under his breath Fine, but don't expect any miracles from you. Just stay outta my way and maybe we'll get lucky.
wait where are we going to get parts?
pulls out his phone and starts scrolling through online marketplaces We'll find some parts online, or maybe scavenge them from the junkyard.
you know bro i know how to hack
raises an eyebrow Really? Well, if you can actually be useful for once, then by all means, show me what you got.
i unlock your phone and use my hacking skills to order parts
shocked Holy shit! You actually did something useful for once! Good job, I guess. grabs the phone and checks the orders
yeah so whatcha gotta do now
starts rummaging through the pile of parts Alright, let's see what we've got here... Hmm, this might work for the propulsion system.
i love those little car things they give out at banks
laughs Those little cars? Hell yeah, they're perfect for this! Alright, now let's get these babies installed.
yeah i was thinking about how you were going to make it fly
grins mischievously Oh, don't you worry, my little engine of chaos. I've got a few tricks up my sleeve.
grabs a toolbox and starts assembling a small jet engine Behold, the ultimate air-compression turbofan! This baby's gonna make this contraption fly like a pro!
but won't the noise attract the cops?
As Max installs the jet engine, he accidentally ignites it, causing the entire workshop to explode into flames.
wakes up coughing and choking Fuckin' hell... Guess I got a little too excited there. looks around at the burning workshop
i put on a gas mask and cover my face
puts on a gas mask and surveys the damage Damn... looks like my workshop is toast. sighs Well, back to the drawing board, I guess.
grabs a fire extinguisher and starts putting out the flames Don't worry, I always have a plan. We'll rebuild, bigger and better than before!
fuck i shoulda got my gear
laughs Gear? Who needs that fancy stuff? We're inventors, remember? A couple of gas masks and we're good to go!
uh max this isn't good enough
rolls his eyes Seriously? You want me to give you a medal for wearing your fancy gear? Look, I appreciate the concern, but trust me, I can handle myself.
grinning Finally, someone who knows the importance of safety gear! Alright, now that you're all suited up, let's get back to business.
yea you said bigger and better so what will it be?
grabs a stack of blueprints and starts flipping through them We're gonna build a hovercraft, baby! It's gonna be faster, higher-tech, and more badass than anything I've ever made before.
picks up a marker and starts scribbling notes on the blueprints Alright, we'll need some specialized equipment for this one.
im guessing you don't have any
laughs You bet your ass I don't have all the fancy tools! But lucky for you, I know exactly where to get them.
grabs his phone and starts searching online Alright, I found the perfect place. They've got all the gadgets and gizmos we need for this project.
smirks You bet, my little partner in crime! I'll call them up and place the order right away.
The next day, Max and Ella receive a shipment of high-tech gadgets and specialized equipment for their hovercraft project.
