"... so I was thinking, what if we don't use the wave for the finished product, but to make the device to make the finished product?" Eljay asked.
His coworker on the construction crew paused, sipping his Australian beer. "That's so crazy, it just might work."
"I know, right? I'm gonna see if I can cook up a strain for the animatronics, then one for the outer biomimetics."
"Really? And how are you going to control it?"
Eljay's battered sketchbook slid and bounced strangely across the table in the Lunar gravity, stopping just in front of his coworker.
"I've worked up a neural induction process and a slightly FTL signal source. I'm already using this on some of the drones towards Tezuka Lake."
"Intriguing. And you say that you're using your wave strains to create fabrication systems for your other projects?"
"Eeyup. Puppetry is all about the performance and the materials science." Eljay's enthusiasm was evident. "I've even got a lot of work done on a Kusanagi drone."
"Still," his coworker said, "you've given me lots to think about. Thanks, Eljay."
"No problem, Azzy." Vulpine Fury got up and shook Asmodeus Grey's hand. "Same time tomorrow?"
"You know it!"

them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.''
