Fate/Impetus

<I am still recovering.> Archer reported - she remained in Spirit Form up on the roof.

"I got a tree missile prototype that's ineffective so that's useless. Oh malleable biostone YES. Lancer we're going to turn this lab into and assembly line of weaponery so. Can YOU SCIENCE?"

"...Why would I need to science, I have Gae Bolg, remember?"

'NO you're going to help me and we're going to science for the sake of war." Gereon said clearing a table and getting a large amount of test tubes and vast ready for mass production.

"Why, what's the point?" Lancer employed the little-known second function of Gae Bolg - namely, he leaned on it while he watched Gereon get out a chemistry set.

"TRAPS my friend all the traps! With science we shall build traps! SO Help me science." Gereon said as he bagan to fill a large vat with water.

<An extra set of eyes on the masters, and if she wishes it an extra power source for you.>

The idea had been bugging him sense he started the war but now that he knew the full scale of what eh was up against he need Alice to help him power Caster. A risk yes but thats what command seals are for.

Lancer looked put out. "Who the hell needs traps? We'll just take the fight to them, it's pretty simple."

---

Caster remained silent. She'd already begun to sense her Master was having difficulties proving an adequate supply of mana - hence why she had remained in Spirit Form since her summoning. That, plus the fact that he seemed to have an abnormally large collection of mundane weaponry, did not bode well for his skills as a magus. Then again, maybe all modern magi were so deficient.

"Yes but what would you think if these traps summoned monstrous golums or pike that sprouted from the floor. every time you step out onto the street. My goal is to make sure our enemies never have a boring uneventful day that's not filled with violent entertainment. Hence the Science and the TRAPS!"

"Who cares about them? If they all die, I'm the one who'll get bored, that's the whole point of not setting traps!"

"true but if we bug them they come to us busting down our front door with all they've got. And I know if that happens you will not be bored. But first we must piss them of hence the traps, or if they won't come to us we find them then bug them and entertain ourselves
."

Aaron looked at his pistol for a second <Caster, how good is your enchantment skill?>

"I've got an idea: we skip the whole trapping and bugging thing and go beat Rider's face in. Or Saber."

---

<I am a sorceress from the Age of Gods, Master. I believe that answers your question.>

"Yeah but we can't find them until they move and that man some how summoned familiars that made mine look like glow sticks. Did you know that i only manage to take out one of his after he took over 20 of mine. I don't even know how that's possible it shouldn't be. So I'm going to shove his makeshift foonny magic in his face and laugh. Hence the traps to ruin his day!"

"What's wrong with just stabbing people?"

<How powerful can you make these?> Aaron said holding his twin pistols.

Caster materialized and held out a hand for one of the guns.

"IT doesn't ruin there day!" hereon said with a calculator pen and paper finding out how much he would need and the proportions of the ratio that would give him the result he desired aka how much can i make Gereon always hated this part about labs.

Lancer rolled his eyes. "Have you ever actually been stabbed?"

at that hereon put down the calculator and looked at him. "Well no but I'm pretty sure that you would only hate the person who stabbed you for a little bit before you died. what i want is to bug him so he comes to me thinking his all that and them punch him in his face and then stab him! Want i want is to bring him down to size. so honestly i don't know if it is enough to ruin ones day but even so he should suffer."

Aaron gave the servant the weapons.

Lancer shrugged. "I don't really go in for the whole suffering thing. I just want to have a good fight."

---

Caster examined them. "You've modified these to infuse the bullets with mana, but your spells are inefficient."

"I am only human."

"You forget, Master. I was 'only human' in my lifetime." Technically speaking that wasn't true - her grandfather had been the titan Helios but the benefits of having a demigod for a parent were almost non-existent. "To think that modern magecraft is so...weak..." she murmured, mostly to herself. Aaron could sense the mana drain from her increasing slightly, as she did something to the weapon in her hand.

"Modern magus have become far more selfish then they once were. Most families would kill themselves before changing their magic."
