Machina Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 I don't speak legal bullshit (not because I can't, but for the same reason dogs don't cluck like fucking chickens), so I'll just be straight up.I need cash. Lots of it. If you have lots of cash and you need something designed, built, conceptualized, egineered, retooled, improved or repaired, I'd like to put my services to work for you. No job too big, too small, too strange. I reserve the right to refuse service to anyone. I may be a son of a bitch, but I guarantee you cannot buy better than me.

Machina Posted August 6, 2004 Author Share Posted August 6, 2004 Who I hate or love or just don't give a good goddamn about is an utter non-issue. This is a purely mercenary arrangement, and I will be loyal and gracious so long as the pay keeps coming. There's no kind of loyalty like the kind you buy, people. You don't have to like me, you don't have to agree with me, you don't have to placate or please me and you don't have to even care. All you have to do is keep paying.But no, I don't hate novas. That's painting with a brush a bit broad, even for me. I just think the better number of you need your egos lanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H. 'Machine' Mann Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 Gentlemen, that man has a point. Several actually. And he's offering services for pay on a cash and carry basis.Use the service or decline the offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Preston Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 Machina, how much work have you done with "memory" metals and hyper-condensed materials? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machina Posted August 19, 2004 Author Share Posted August 19, 2004 I did a joint project with NASA back before I erupted that dealt with memory alloys for the space shuttle and some of the equipment put on nova-generation satellites, and since then I've used them in my old job for a handful of purposes, none that cleared acceptable R&D clearance. As for HCMs, I've dealt less with them and more trying to create ultralight, ultrapowerful allows that put vitrium and titanium to shame. So far the only thing I've worked out requires a constant current that would turn anything near it into powder, but I'm getting closer.Tell me what you have in mind.

The fact that you can take abuse like a man and keep coming back speaks well of you, even if I do think you're borderline retarded. Stop by my lab sometime, we'll see if we can't put you to work.

Neil Preston Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 Ex-squeeze-me!?!? Isn't it more important that we the best we can with what we have? Not everyone is cut out for world-saving, or crusading for a better tomorrow. Wouldn't it be better for each of us to cooperate were we can and deal with our differences in a more understanding manner?Me, I like helping people and I do so when I can, but that isn't the totality of who I am.

You and I had strong, supportive upbringings. That has helped shape who and what we are today, but not everyone is as fortunate. If Archon wants to go his own way in the world, its his choice.Machina has his reasons for behaving the way he does. I'm sure he had his reasons for not joining the Project, too.

Neil Preston Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 TAG, Charr and I had personal issues. He came into Boston and screwed a bunch of people up. I had been trying to heal them. I developed a real hate-on for the guy, and let it eat at me. You helped me get over that by pointing out the fact to me that I had gone overboard.btw, thanks for that.I did a trollish thing.

Machina Posted September 15, 2006 Author Share Posted September 15, 2006 I'm resurrecting this thread because my offer still stands, and now that I'm back I've got more time to work on baubles and bullshit for other people. Most of my personal work is completed at present, so I'm going back to taking commissions. I don't need the money like I used to, but what I do need is a challenge. If anyone can offer me that, I think I can offer you a solution to your problem. Same deal as above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The White Rat Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 I need several things made. I can pay cash. Are you interested? PM me for the details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 I would suggest that you not create anything for the Rat Mr. Machina. He would likely use it for the intent of mass murder or general harm to innocents. So if he shows up at your door with a trunk full of plutonium and another trunk of cash you would be wise to turn him away. Wiser still would be for you to call the WCK.

Machina Posted September 15, 2006 Author Share Posted September 15, 2006 Who the fuck are you, Not-Uses-His-Fucking-Head Man? For starters, who I work for and what I do is my own fucking business, whether I feel like making portable nukes or artificial tonsils. Second, if I was favorably inclined towards making weapons of mass destruction for someone you claim is dangerous, what makes you think warning me otherwise would change my fucking mind? And lastly, why the fuck would I call the Windy City Knights? Because the tag under his name says he's from Chi-town? Jackass, if I need to call the authorities on Rat, I'd sooner call the fucking QNA than that group of yokels. At least the faggot nova club wouldn't be out of their jurisdiction.

Ally Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 I assumed you would have a conscience Machina and wanted to warn you in advance. Perhaps I was wrong on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machina Posted September 15, 2006 Author Share Posted September 15, 2006 Wrong to warn me. I'm the smartest sentient being in existence, you think I need to be warned about anything? I'm trying to underscore for you the stupidity of warning somebody against doing something inherently wrong. If I'm a bad guy, I'll do it anyway. If I'm not, I don't need to be fucking told. Where I fall on that spectrum can be found in your business file, under 'None of Your Fucking'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakurako Hino Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Well, lookie here...I have a prefectly direct question. What would you do with said money once you have it and completed your contracts?And should I be scared? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machina Posted September 15, 2006 Author Share Posted September 15, 2006 Holy shit, you are still alive. And I had held out such hope. Like I said, I don't need the money anymore. I make plenty of my own, these days. What I'm after now is a challenge, something that'll work my giant, thick, meaty, throbbing, quivering grey matter. If I make a little cash on the side, great. As for as payment is concerned, I'm more interested in what offers people can make that might get me a little hard.Why? You ready to fall down to your knees and give me my due? I'm listening, Pinky.

Cosmic Comet Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 I could use something that will allow me to maintain contact with the Opnet for when I'm travelling to the deeper parts of space.

Mr Frost Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 I have a project for you. Its one I've been working for some time without achieving the level of success I require. I have a mechanical device that is tracking the relationship of between forty-two seperate events. It's performed well over the years but requires constant maintenance to achieve even minimal accuracy. Its replacement cannot use solid state electronics or eufiber based technologies.
