Dom descended stairs, upon more stairs until he found this man. Dom wasn't sure if he wanted to wake him, but he needed some direction. He leaned in close, looking at the man before backing off and stepping to the side. He gently put a hand on the man's shoulders and gave him a gentle shake. "Scuse me, but I need training in the art of Machinery."
(I guess I'll bug this guy.)

Dom shrugged. "Just a typical human. I have connections with fire, but I'm uninterested in using fire to fight my battles. I'd much rather learn how to build machines before anything else."

Dom nodded, taking a spare spanner off his harness. He flipped it between his fingers, thinking about how to magnetize the object. He played with the idea of literally magnetizing it with something on his person, but decided that learning how to magnetize things was what he desired. He put a little energy into the spanner and got a slight reaction. [+] It faintly floated out of his hand. He let it drop back into his palm before giving it more though. If he put more energy into the act, maybe there'd be a better reaction. And there was; he put a little more into it, and gave it life. Before long, he could make the spare spanner spin in circles. [Magnetize Learned]

He was going to put the spanner away, but had the though he may need it for his next trick. A scope that could zoom in and out. He pondered this for a minute and sat down so he could work better. "Don't worry, I like working on the ground. It's more solid anyway..." he said, drifting off into a daze. He took his goggles off and began implementing more lenses in them, as well as a focusing lens, and a twisting motion to increase the distance. Shortly after, he integrated a bit of metal into the goggles, all leading to wires on both sides. They were ready, but for now, he coiled the wires up behind the strap to keep them out of his face. [Tool Tinkering: Zoom Scope]

His next task wasn't to make something, but to make something. It sounded odd, but it was the truth. In making nothing, he'd make so much more. He began to ponder the things he could make and attach to himself. He began to ponder the endless capabilities and combinations that he could create and use in battle. Well, not him, or rather his creations. His dream team of a bunch of robots with different capabilities. A specialization of sorts. It was only a matter of time before the World knew Dom Vaughn Vanderlaske's name. He stood up after a final thought, and nodded. "So lets keep things trucking, eh?" [Add On Creation]

Dom's eyes opened wide when he saw all the toys in the box, and all the ideas on paper. He made a sound, one, a bit manlier then a shriek, yet still girly. He dove right into the box, pulling out several items before he put his nose to the grindstone.

With a sheet of metal, he used a small blowtorch to cut a small circle out. With a grinding wheel, he dulled the edges. With some random nuts and bolts, he made a part that would attach to his own body. Shortly after, he'd stashed it on his back. [Metal Shield Learned]

He pulled his goggles off on the next part and began to tinker with them. He started more of the silver substance on the inside of his goggled, going as far as to make somewhat of a holographic display as to how things were going, body wise. With that done, he moved on quickly. [HUD Learned]

Dom fiddled some more with his goggles, but decided they may get too clunky at this rate. He began to work on a separate module for zooming, as well as taking video and pictures. It was nothing more then a pair of cylinders attached by a small, but stiff wire, making them seem like bifocals. He tucked them safely away on his harness for later usage. [Zoom Scope Learned]

He went back to the sheet of metal he'd played with earlier, and began cutting once more with a torch. He began making some sort of box for rounds of all sorts. He cut some lines in the sheet and began to fold things before welding them back together. He made a pretty little box, and with a bit of paint, he made it a green box. Slapping a lid with a couple hooks on it, he attached it to his harness. [Ammo Hold Learned]

With what was left over of the sheet, he rolled into a cylinder and welded it down the line. Without skipping a beat, he put two half sphere scraps on it, making a pill shaped, hollow hold. With a screwdriver off his glove, he poked a hole into the hold and inserted a valve with a gauge on it. He gave it a quick test before adding another hook, and attaching it to his back, similar to the ammo hold. [Gas/Liquid Hold]

He began to make a box out of scraps now. Nothing big, and he didn't put the sixth side on just yet. he was busy trying to work several lenses and a diode into the little box. He finally broke out the needle nose pliers and worked them into the little box. With that, he used a small sodding gun to stick it in place. With that, he cut a small hole into the last scrap and capped of the box. A tiny projector was in his palm. He tucked that away on his harness as well. [Projector Learned]

Cutting another sheet down the middle, he folded it over several time and used a blow torch to fuse it all together, several times. Finally, he cut a couple triangles out and had begun using a grinding wheel to sharpen the edges. Within moments, he had two sharp blades. A few moments later, he had them on rails with spring loaded mechanisms. He attached them to the gauntlets he wore with his harness. [Hidden Blade Learned]

He'd already put his goggles on, and had no plans for more add ons for them, and so he began to work on a more scanner style night vision device. Another small box with a tiny camera inside it. A pivoting head would make it so it could look about and gather intelligence. he hooked it to the strap that went over his shoulder, and then to the wires on his goggles, effectively connecting them to his HUD. [Night Vision Scanner Learned]

"So boss, that all you got?"

"I would, but I'd rather skip over weapons. I have all the weapons I need anyway." he says, reaching down and putting his hand on his pistol. You don't have to be skilled to shoot these things he thought to himself.

(Can't learn any Weapon Skills unless you guys changed the rules because I'm a Mechanist, and being a human doesn't permit me to learn a style)

Dom shook his head. "Skip that. Let's get to a test."
