I wouldn\u2019t know the difference between a normal one and an experimental one. What\u2019s so special about this one?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWell first off, we\u2019ll get Commander Crush to authorise some training for you. On a standard crossbow of course. Then we can discuss how to improve it. Then it\u2019ll all make more sense to you.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIn any case,\u201d says BarmyWaffle, as he points to the flat plates connecting the limbs to the riser, \u201cthese are larger cantilever springs than normal. Usually they\u2019re made of metal. Metal is good, but brass is too flexible and iron is too stiff. We\u2019re looking for the Goldilocks\u2019 solution. Something that\u2019s just right. This prototype has a bone composite, we\u2019re trying to make it easier to use, so that we can improve reloading.\u201d<\/p>\n MaxChaos understands the pointing, and most of the parts, but he doesn\u2019t understand all the words. He looks confused.<\/p>\n \u201cDon\u2019t worry about the terminology \u2026 don\u2019t worry about the words<\/em> \u2026 you\u2019ll get used to it as you spend more time with us. Of course, I\u2019m assuming that you\u2019re going to be here every Wednesday afternoon for side project time?\u201d<\/p>\n Finally, MaxChaos and BarmyWaffle have clicked.<\/p>\n The dock worker and the scientist have something in common. They\u2019re both interested in crossbows, even if it\u2019s for different reasons.<\/p>\n Forty years separate them, so BarmyWaffle is old enough to be his grandfather! BarmyWaffle also feels the need to say something else, and he feels that he\u2019s in a position to say it. Taking a fatherly tone he changes the subject.<\/p>\n \u201cMax, do you live in a shared house? All men?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYeah I do. How did you know?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cAnd the kitchen\u2019s always a mess? And the bathroom\u2019s always a mess? And you tend to avoid them?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYeah, whatcha getting at?\u201d<\/p>\n Previous<\/a> – Book1 Page230 \u2013 Next<\/a><\/p>\n Previous – Book1 Page230 \u2013 Next BarmyWaffle hands him the crossbow, \u201cweapon clear.\u201d The look on his face demands an answer.
