Call to Arms Meeting

"Think outside the box here." Andrew said to the daughter of Athena, with a smile on his face as though he were some brilliant tribal chief. "Powers don't work on them. That doesn't mean powers don't work. Blasting one of these things in the face with water won't work, sure, but some children of Ares, Hades, Thanatos, and such can summon the dead. Cannon fodder is never bad to have on your side, especially when there's a lotta canons to be fired. And of course, there's demigods that can heal wounds, travel through unconventional means, and so on. But I'll give you credit, I am a good shot."

"That's what I like to hear!" Andrew said, referring to Tobin's plan. He listened to the others who had to speak, people speaking up was the first step to a team-like communication. The daughter of Athena didn't hold the reigns so tightly, it didn't seem, which left room for others to take leadership too. "If we're looking for microwaves, we might as well hit New York. I'm sure we can easily find the copper wire we need there too. Even the capacitor. But we might be able to save some time if the Hephaestus cabin already has enough wire and good enough capacitors."

It went to show, that watching Doomsday Preppers would indeed spring an idea to save all sorts of people.

"We should get moving, immediately. I'll take some people with me to New York, we'll keep in touch with Iris Messages." The son of Apollo was eager to prove just how killable these robots were. "We should have everyone staying here prepping the electromagnetic pulse devices, prepping Greek fire for just in case, and keeping tabs on the perimeter of camp." Andrew was just about ready to leave and run to New York with the adrenaline running through him. "Any thoughts?"

"By all means, let's waste hours going to New York for microwaves." Victoria shook her head. "All we need is right here at camp. Did none of you ever go to the forge? We need: the circuit of a camera flash or a zapper, copper wire, insulation material, a battery holder and a switch. Everything is right here, and if there isn't enough, I can print some."

Well, that was one way to crash the skyscraper tall wave of morale that was going. Thanks, yellow care bear. Of course, Andrew wouldn't voice that. He was stubbornly keeping his mouth shut, it was for the best to not begin arguing. Especially with the girl who seemed like she held a grudge. Especially when she could use more syllables in a word than words in most of her sentences.

"Circuits and motherboards aren't just things that are printed. At least, not to my knowledge." Andrew hastily added in the part about his knowledge. He had no clue what things the Athena cabin had been working on. Maybe they had made a 3D printer capable of it? He strongly doubt it, with how advanced that must be, but he wouldn't put it passed them. If anyone could do it, it was the cabin of blonde hair and grey eyes.

"If you feel different, let us know. But at the end of the day, it's up to us as a whole." Andrew insisted. It had looked like she'd been running the show for a while, but when it came to rallying people together, Andrew figured Victoria was as good at that as an overtired Starbucks manager. "Is there a chance we have the circuitry we need already? And if we do, will depleting this resource be troublesome?" The question was dictated at the entirety of the group for those who would know about it. Whether it be Tobin or a child of Athena. Or someone else who happened to know.

"I have a 3D omniprinter in my cabin, self-made, that can print any material if only I can provide it. With the correct programming, I could print you a flamethrowing hairbrush razor blade," Victoria said in a flat voice. "How do you think I got the parts to build my hoverboard?"

Then she listened to Tobin and nodded. "While you gather the materials, I can print out several circuits as well as put together the frame of the machines. I suggest we stay here for the building part though, there is a robot in the vicinity of the forge."

Galena had listened to the exchange for a while, but wasn't really sure what to input. She hugged herself defensively, looking around. She wasn't a fighter, or a builder. Her expertise came in the form of programming, usually. "Victoria, isn't half the stuff we need in the forge? I mean, seriously, aside from your omniprinter..."

Her voice trailed off and she looked over to Lightening Bug and That Guy That Wasn't A Demititan Or Holding A Scythe. "If we're doing teams, and separating based on specialty... I'm just a software nerd. Not hardware."
