Hi, everyone.

[Is she going to begin all her posts like that?

Yes. Yes, she is. The video goes wobbly for a minute as Michelle adjusts the positioning to actually show her face instead of the top of her head.]

If you're not completely bored of echo stories, I got this thing a couple weeks ago. Meant to ask about it earlier, but with one thing and another...

[She walks off camera and comes back with an unusual device. In brief, it looks like a spider made sweet, sweet love to some kind of gun and the product of their union was built by Apple.]

... and I guess Wheatley's post reminded me. Does this thing look familiar to anyone? I'm not sure what it's for, but it does this.

[She steps just out of frame, leaving a clear view of the white wall opposite her desk. How exciting. She aims, the barrel of the gun-thing just visible at the edge of the screen, and fires. With a springy "foom" noise, a cloudy blue disc about the size of a door appears on the wall. Michelle returns to her chair.]

That's all I've gotten from it so far. Useful, right? [She laughs quietly, indicating that was a joke. It's not very useful at all.] I was hoping you guys would have some input.

Well, as long as the stick didn't disintegrate...

Anything happen if you shoot a second one on top of it? Layer it up?

[tenaciousc]

I think it can only be one at a time? If I make another the first disappears. Hang on, let me try-

[She shoots the gun directly at the blue thing. The beam hits it with a shower of sparks, a fizzling noise and no apparent effect on the first one.]

[shiromadoushi]

So much for that, huh? Just On/Off for glowing blue whatnot. Maybe it's something for a game? Like a weird form of laser darts or something?

[tenaciousc]

Maybe. But I think it's broken, or maybe not finished, so who knows.

[shiromadoushi]

So maybe next time you get a flashback/pulse/whatever, you'll get level two or something? Another button to it?

[tenaciousc]

There's a second trigger.

[shiromadoushi]

Do it do anything? Or is that the unfinished part?

[tenaciousc]

That's the unfinished part.

[shiromadoushi]

Multi part flashback, huh? Didn't think that worked for physical things too.

[tenaciousc]

[Shrug.]

I guess it does.
