a bit more.
There's a couple of ways to get Handwavium to deliver power, and what's best at tickling a person's fancy is probably what's going to be used.
I've had the fortune of my first Solid being able to generate it. And no, I don't know _how_. I just plug stuff in and it works. How much? Enough to power the Uncertainty and my tinkering with it. There's a lot of other ways besides this one ... ones that don't rely on strokes of luck. Goop an engine, or a few solar panels, and you'll likely get a pretty reliable way of feeding your energy needs. That's the most common way of going about things, even if it's as prone to giving you odd results as anything else.
The problem that gave me the worst headache here, though, wasn't power generation. Not really.
But I'm getting ahead of myself.
In Fenspace, if you're looking for discretion ... true discretion, you have a few options as well.
You're home free if you happen to run one of the habitats, or the larger spaceships traversing the lanes, but if you lack those nine chances out of ten will have you heading towards the Belt. The tenth is dealing with Whedonites, but that can be iffy at times.
Unless your name happens to be Morden. Or, to that particular group, Manco.
And even when you find a place that's willing to rent you space and be quiet about it, there's usually a favor or two involved somewhere in there.
I had a set of grav-kitbashes ready on-hand, some of them old projects, some patched together new ones, as a readily accepted currency
I wheeled the Uncertainty around and onto the approach vector, bringing the bow in line with the patch of darker blackness littered by the occasional bubble of transparent, pressurized plastics.
All the while tuning out Trigon's chattering in insistance that we break off to engage the 'impudent trash' that dared to shadow us.
The Village of Hidden Asteroid may not be too hard to find, if you know what you look for, but they take their security seriously enough.
When tact is required, use brute force. When force is required, use greater force.
When the greatest force is required, use your head. Surprise is everything. - The Book of Cataclysm
