74.3 Prototyping

"Right, now for the testing phase..."

 

With a full stomach and an apprehensive attitude, Lise and I stared at the engine in front of us as we both just stood around like fvcking idiots waiting for something interesting to happen. This was the usual schtick for live testing, unfortunately. And if it did blow up, then we were the first on the scene to either be the first responders in the event of a fire or the first casualties depending on how bad the situation could get. Then again, I highly doubted that something so small could ever make this part of the cave system collapse in on itself. The locomotive engine didn't, but that massive thing didn't have Seigels on it to supplement its combustion.

 

Fvck... I'm psyching myself out.

 

"It's full, Brother," Lise absently replied beside me. "I already filled it earlier before I followed you out for lunch."

 

"I see."
