[After he wakes up from that weird dream, it takes him a few more hours to realize that Eikichi is, somehow, missing. And...that was it! That was the straw that broke the proverbial camel's back! Because by mid-morning, there is an angry-looking text post from Tatsuya on the network, with only these words of warning.]

....WELL I ALWAYS DID SAY THAT SCIENCE COULD TURN MEN INTO GODS. I NEVER REALIZED IT WAS THAT LITERAL, TEE HEE HEE.

HOW DOES IT WORK, HOW DOES IT WORK?!?!

[lighter_flick]

YOU CONCENTRATE ON SUMMONING IT. I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN EXPLAIN IT ANY BETTER BUT IT HELPS IF YOU'RE IN TROUBLE AND NEED PROTECTION. THEN IT JUST SHOWS UP.

[And torches the punks beating up on you yeah that was a fun time.]

[thewunderkind]

...SO I SHOULD BE PUTTING MYSELF IN DANGER?!

WOW THAT SOUNDS EASY! LEMME GO LOCK MYSELF UP WITH A FEW BOMBS OR SOMETHING!

[lighter_flick]

NO DON'T DO THAT. MY POINT IS IT WILL APPEAR WHEN YOU NEED IT THE MOST.

ONCE IT HAPPENS IT SHOULD BE EASY FOR YOU TO GET USED TO SUMMONING IT, IT'S LIKE RIDING A BIKE.

[thewunderkind]

...WHAT'S A BIKE?

[lighter_flick]

IT'S A BIKE??? LIKE A MOTORCYCLE OF BICYCLE.

HOW DO YOU KNOW ABOUT ROBOTS BUT NOT MOTORCYCLES IT'S A VEHICLE.

[daswunderkind]

OH A MOTORCYCLE!! THAT I KNOW.

I NEVER HEARD IT BE CALLED A BIKE BEFORE?!

ALSO I BUILT ROBOTS AND NEOTANKS AND BLACK BOMBS AND STUFF LIKE THAT DUMMY!!! WE DON'T REALLY NEED...BIKES...SINCE OUR MECHANIZED INFANTRY UNITS MOVE IN ARMORED PERSONNEL CARRIERS. MOTORCYCLES WOULD BE USELESS IN A WAR.

EVER SEE INFANTRY RIDING MOTORCYCLES AND BE ABLE TO SHOOT ENEMY UNITS?

[lighter_flick]

...NO, NOT REALLY.

[What's going on? :(]

[daswunderkind]

SEE?! THAT'S WHAT I MEAN. WHAT WE NEED IS EFFICIENCY!! MOTORCYCLES DON'T HAVE A PLACE ON THE BATTLEFIELD UNLESS I...MODIFY THEM.

HMMM....

DO YOU KNOW WHERE I COULD GET ONE?

[lighter_flick]

NOPE, NOT A CLUE, SORRY.[If you even lay one single finger on his bike...]

[thewunderkind]

WOW YOU'RE EVEN MORE BORING THAN I THOUGHT.

SO CAN I HEAR THIS STORY THAT IS SOOOO AMAZING I WON'T BELIEVE IT NOW.
