Woah hey everybody! I'm Jin Aznable, super genius, and I guess I'm a part of this secret society too. Looks like you all hit the lottery! See, I'm a robotics engineer and I'm pretty much the coolest guy. I made a mistake redesigning this surgical unit I've been working with, and the model number was... this access number! Pretty freaky. So looks like I'm also a part of whatever this is.

I work with medical robotics, and I don't really have a specialty. So I've designed prosthetics, an artificial heart, and a lot of tools for micro surgery. Lasers and stuff, pretty cool. Other than that, uh, I like giant robot stuff. And I've got a kid, but I'd rather leave her out of my cool and weird secret society thing. Ha ha. Any questions?

Someone thinks quite highly of themselves.

[amajin]

That would be me. I mean, whatever plans you've all got going, having an engineering genius along couldn't hurt, could it?

Don't lie, you're excited to meet me.

[ugh, the worst part is that he raises a good point.]

I'll admit to that much.

And I suppose that I've had worse meetings in the past, but it wouldn't be wise to make something of that.

What did you get along with your numbers?

OH MY GOD--

[Oh, god dammit.]

Yoko?! I-

You-

[He groans a little]

I told you you're not allowed to join clubs without telling me!!

If you want a question, 'what memory brought you here' will do.

Are you sure that's all the ego flexing you wanted to do right now?

[amajin]

I'm glad you asked!

Actually, it's kind of boring, unexpectedly. I was designing a power source for that surgical unit I measured, and I almost got it all the way to mock-ups before someone pointed out that the power pack was way way too small.

I had this weird idea that there was some energy source that was powerful enough to power it, but that was way smaller than any battery that exists in the world right now. My coworkers were kind of worried I'd finally cracked. I had to tell them no one wins the pool yet, I'm still sane.

But the number wouldn't get out of my head, the model number of the design. So I finally typed it in and here I am! Pretty crazy stuff, huh?

[sugoku]

Did this energy source have a name?

[Or really, the more important question felt like]

If a power source is that powerful, wouldn't you have to invent an entirely new power grid to sustain it?

You seem ... really sort of excited about this whole matter, sir.

[amajin]

Why not? I thought all my chances for cool secret societies were over when I decided not to join the skull and bone society at college. This seems way cooler, to be honest.

[alilyinthemoonslight]

Well, besides the people apparently after us for...

...

To be terribly honest I'm not yet sure why, or who, yet. But what some people have talked about makes it sound very dangerous...

[here have a japanese guy with his hair all done up in braids sitting in a room that is lined with books except where there are pieces of art or weapons or a punch bowl shaped like a skull.]

We call it the Secret Numbers Club, but knowing that much can get you killed if you ain't careful.

[amajin]

Probably because that's kind of a dumb name. I'll think of a better one and then we can all be safe again.

[ursoreckless]

What are we gonna need a cool name for? There's people that wanna kill us because we're connected to this, not because of a name.

[vanisland]

Well, aren't you full of yourself? No need to worry about me stealing your spotlight, at least. I don't work with the parts.

[amajin]

Hey, I'm just a robotics engineering genius, there's plenty of things I don't know how to do, probably.

I'm sure someone could think of something.

[vanisland]

False modesty won't help you. But as someone that works with code on a regular basis I might as well announce myself.

[neonnerd]

You like giant robot stuff?

[Audio]

[amajin]

Yeah, it was kind of my dream to build giant robots, when I was a little kid.

That kind of fell to the wayside when I realized how improbable the whole thing was. Oh well.

[Audio]

[neonnerd]

You're far from the only one with that dream, I believe. And now, well, you may find that it's a lot less improbable than you thought. There are a number of us with giant robots as a part of our echoes.

[Handwritten]

[dododo]

[ Oh wow so cool. ]

I imagine all of that could come in very handy.

[amajin]

It's been pretty useful so far! I dunno how many surgical robots or prostheses we're gonna need, but hey. I got it covered.

[chalicejoker]

Got a random question for you about prosthetics, then: do prosthetic bones break like normal bones?

[Because it's not like he got into an altercation with a Blood Keys thug and is trying to figure out what happened during the fight when he broke said thug's arm. So Hajime will be polite and resist the urge to call the guy out on his ego while pretending that this is a totally normal question.]

[amajin]

Depends on what you make them out of, but usually no.

I mean, if you've got the real delicate finger parts you can break those pretty easy, but you can't really break the 'bones,' you can only break the joints. It doesn't hurt, either! That's the good part about prosthetics, it doesn't hurt if you break them.

Why do you ask?
