Freeport 10's Research Deck: Commonwealth Research and Development Wing.

[The_Normal_Anomaly]

"I wonder how I can increase output . . ." ponders the doctor aloud, as he steps into a machining area of the fabrication section of the deck. He hunts around for a few moments, finding the machine he was hunting for. He inputs some production data values, making sure to set slightly particular tolerances and other variables. Can't have loose parts on a gift, now can we?

"I wonder . . . I need to shoot this thing myself. I might as well get some fun out of it before it gets wasted sitting in his desk forever." he considers, almost thinking of simply keeping the thing for himself instead of giving it away. His slightly hostile attitudes subside though into a more solid direction. "No, I can always make more. This . . . is about seeing things through. Finally reaching my ends." his thoughts command, and put a punctuation mark against his uncertainty about the future of this.

He watches as checklists are run and he double checks that all data is set correctly before initiating this particular end of the construction.
