Jasper always reminded him when he got into his condominium. Lance needed Jasper to monitor his pending objectives just to keep him on track. Well, there were many things he needed to do, such as deal with the Mafia regarding the illegal items procurement for his store, farfetched goals such as looking for the Lost Engineers, building another Ultragenerator for the Lost Engineers, and many minute to-do-things.

Above anything else, he had a tight schedule for CBD. Hence, the prototype of Beast Bane Railgun.

If Luke wanted units of Quantum Flux, the rebels should scrap them in Generators in Bay City. The presence of Abominant Hive presented a predicament for such a quest. In doing so, Lance should provide Armaments and weapons meant for Abominants. Therefore, he needed to design poison-filled weaponry for the rebels.

He needed ten Quantum Flux components and he found one in Omnexus.

Facing his fabrication table, he planned to modify current Second-generation Quasarflare Blasters, issued to low-ranking police forces, that would be compatible with Aiveez Nectar. It had the same concept as the Beast Bane Railgun, only smaller.

Of course, as a Weapons Inventor, he brought home a sample Quasarflare Blaster for his research as he told the staff people back at the Weapons Plant. The said staff handed him safety guidelines through his holosync for the Quasarflar Blaster sample.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

He could never had one of these during his days as a scrapper. As Weapons Inventor had its perks. As the Division staff had told him, as long as it was low-powered, non-explosive weapons, and with signed safety waivers, Lance was good to go.

The dispensing of the cartridge was then connected to the trigger so that whenever the blaster fires, a small dose of Nectar would dissipate into small moist and into the beam chambers.

Simultaneously, he placed vials of Nectar liquid into the cartridges he used for his first project – Bioscanning Water Dispenser.

The laser blast would be combined with a small dose of Aiveez Nectar. He tugged the weapon to his side from the table and wanted to conduct his prototype trial.

A cartridge slot, modified by his Fabrication Table, snugged the nectar cartridge in place, like a gun magazine.

He did the simulations in the Design simulations and it worked.

He wanted to test it inside his house. Just one fire. It was his first time, but he read the eManuals given by the Weapons Division staff.

He aimed the modified weapon at a pile of common-level wires and metal angle bars. He hated that sight, that corner. The said scraps sat for months since his cabin at Steelpoint, then transferred to Hypervista villas, and then to SteamHaven condominiums.

He reassessed again. He read the eManuals with his Holosync. He had to be sure. It was his first time wielding such a weapon. Fortunately, he could test it inside his room without fatal explosions. Cold sweat made the stainless metallic blaster casing slippery from his hands. Your next journey awaits at empire

'I have to be bold. For my comrades,' Lance convinced himself.

He squeezed the trigger of the Blaster, it hummed for a split second, then a light bluish beam fired at its end and blasted his hated pile. The wires and angle bars exploded, charring the materials and leaving a darkened soot on the wall behind it.

Immediately, successive knocks loomed on his door. He answered to it and found a man in the suit.

"Kid, are you alright?" It was the bodyguard, frantic looking.

"No worries. I am just testing the new design." Lance responded.

Of course, Lance had to be sure that every shot had been glazed with a dose of poison, he took residual samples using a microscopic precision tool that he used to check on micro-connections of electronic schematic boards.

'Perfect!' Lance found traces of Aiveez nectar on the charred parts of his wall.
