I've got most of a plan, I just don't have the materials all in place yet. Hook arc reactors up to the main core, jump start the plants if they haven't been already and keep them running smoothly. Not complicated.

Well, aside from building the reactors.

On that note, I have sort of an idea.

It's a really stupid idea, but it's an idea.
And it might work.
Probably will work.

If I don't blow myself up, it'll definitely work.

Well that's an interesting preface. Do tell.

Well, it's pretty simple.
Palladium is a naturally occurring byproduct of certain fission reactions, right?

So, I can probably Rumpelstiltskin you some Lead into Gold-

Assuming, like I said, the lack of explosions.

[There's a short pause before a response comes.]

Okay, so that can be plan b. Not that I don't enjoy a good explosion, but we can probably find less volatile routes to try first.

My control's a lot cleaner. I've been using electrolysis and sort of a version of electroplating to clean up the rusted sections of the tram lines.

Which yeah, I know, a lot less prone to explosion than fission reactions, but I'm getting better.

[Is that a good thing or vaguely scary? Jury's still out.]

Not doubting it. Just think that collecting raw materials isn't quite worth the risk of spontaneous human combustion.

Not when I've got other avenues, at least.
