Who: Maglor and YOU! Also Maedhros is likely around somewhere
Broadcast: Video from one of the planet Mine sites
Action: Forges!
When: Anytime during this stop

I must say the good folk of this stop are very kind - they have allowed my brother and I use of the mines and forges here in exchange for some trading. My brother and I are going to be working on some proper swords - if anyone else is inclined to a bladed weapon, we are happy to make you one as well.

Grandfather, Fingon, you needn't ask, but your help in the forges would be invaluable - Maedhros and I manage, of course, but neither of us are... what we were. And we have neither Father, nor Curvo, nor Tylepe here to point out everything we are doing wrong!

Swords? I couldn't say no to one if offered.

If you'd like some help, I have some experience in weaponsmithing, though I'll admit that my abilities there are a bit dusty.

[Thankfully the wings are gone for now. And after that last attack? A good weapon sounds like a very good idea. And less likely to poke a hole in his ship than, say, a pistol.]

Any help would doubtless be welcome! And aye, we were thinking of swords, although my cousin Fingon was also considering shields and Maedhros armor. But any who need, we are happy to supply.

[Tries not to make a funny face at the idea of metal armor on a space ship. The two ideas just don't mesh for him.]

Knives might be a decent idea too, since we're in close quarters so often.

[ Steampunk elves? ]

Aye, I agree. My brother, grandfather and cousin all favour the longsword, but I am used to shorter blades in my past.

[Show up in a Victorian suit and he'll love you. More.]

I've favored short swords myself as well.

[ Too bad he isn't from that far in his timeline. Here. ]

We could look into making you either, really - or both, if you prefer?

[Now that's a pity. Considers it.]

Both would be nice. But I insist on doing most of the work.

I could head down there is afternoon if you're not too busy for it.
