Before you check on the ANDROID, you toss some random parts to SACA. "Hey, can you make something out of this?" You need a better weapon than a super short and flimsy pocket knife.

SACA immediately moves to cobble something out of the various pieces of junk you got. Not even two minutes pass before it tosses something back to you.

It's a small and compressed metal rod that's about the length of a baseball bat. It has some heft to it, but it's far lighter than the barbell. It's also portable enough for you to carry. "PRESS BUTTON ON SIDE FOR EXTRA LETHALITY," chirps out SACA.

You press the button. A short blade pops out the end of the rod. Huh! Neat, it's a club AND a spear.

>MAKESHIFT WEAPON obtained! (+5 to combat attack rolls. Can deal piercing or bludgeoning damage. Medium reach.)

"Huh! Pretty neat, thanks."

"NO PROBLEM."

You press the button again to hide the blade before tossing it in your satchel. You and Colt quickly wheel in the automated MOLD FARM into the empty cell. Now that's stored away, you head to the bookshelf where you keep your dossiers.

"Colt, wait for me by that cell over there. I'll be over there in a jiffy." "Whatever you say, boss."

You begin to flip through the dossier. Like always, most of it has been redacted because your 'clearance' isn't high enough. Why even bother giving this to you if they're going to let you read most of it? However, it's not your first time dealing with convoluted paperwork.

>3 SUCCESSES!

A weaker man would've given up by now but you? You glide through it as easily as a fish swims through water.
