[This feels ridiculous, but she has to ask it. Ever since that Echo about Allomancy hit it's been bugging her non-stop and this seems like the best way to figure it out. Normally she might have gone to one of her sources on this but it seems safer here, and easier to explain for that matter so she'll check here first.]

This is a weird question but does anybody out there know where I can find steel with as close to a 99-1 percent mix between iron and carbon as possible? And not a lot of it, just a couple of pounds at most. Maybe online or something.

[A pause. Okay, this might need some explanation even here.]

It has to do with one of those pulses or whatever they're called.

[ ooc: o ok! ]

Oh shit like Magneto?

[doomedtheworld]

Like what?

[amberhearted]

The mutant guy who controls metal

[doomedtheworld]

Oh.

Maybe?

[And you've lost her.]

[amberhearted]

That'd be a pretty sweet deal

[ ofc, he's assuming it would NEVER be used with malicious intent rn...

which makes no sense because magneto was the villain

gj alex ]

If you can't find someone with connections to the engineering dept you could try the art dept. Metalwork and jewelry. Idk if they use steel but it might be worth a look. Otherwise yeah online

[doomedtheworld]

I'll take your word for it.

[Don't worry, Alex, she'd only use it for a little bit of crime. Not really supervillain levels.]

Online then. Does this network thing let you use the normal internet too?

[Two blind spots in one conversation: comic books and technology. Great.]

[amberhearted]

Nah it's different. You don't got regular internet access?

[doomedtheworld]

I don't even have a computer.

[amberhearted]

[ no kidding? hm. ]

I can help you out with that

Actually I got tools like some carbon bits. Idk the % but you could try those? Or check out Home Depot? Can you tell what kind of steel it is by looking at it?

[doomedtheworld]

[No kidding. She's been communicating by notepad the entire time she's been in the club.]

It would make it a lot easier if I could, but no.

It's worth a shot. I think it can be a little bit off but that percentage works the best.

[amberhearted]

Bummer. With my tools or hd?

[doomedtheworld]

I think Home Depot for now, since we don't know how close your tools match what that pulse told me I need. If I can't find what I need there I'll check the university and then maybe the internet.

[amberhearted]

[ perhaps it isn't a monetary issue for the reason why she doesn't have access to the internet, then. ]

All right. Good luck

[doomedtheworld]

[It mostly is. At least insofar as she doesn't have the money to spend on things she doesn't need.]

Thanks. You might hear from me again if I need a computer.
