Is a bad idea still a bad idea if it's FOR SCIENCE?
Who: This arachnerd
Broadcast: n/a
Action: Yep!
When: Throughout the month of October (and also backdated accordingly)
Option A:
It probably shouldn't have been all that surprising that Peter would be able to find an opportunity in the midst of all this junk. It wasn't like he'd had a whole lot to work with before, and was already tinkering with second-hand materials and parts. This was just third-hand materials. Or so he'd keep telling himself anytime he had to avoid getting buried under an exceptionally unstable pile of scrap.
Sure, he had his own list of things he was searching for, but he was also doing his best to find a whole lot of tech-related bits and pieces out here to help Pidge gether his workstation back up and running. And for anything he couldn't find, he'd just end up going to some of the various traders to try haggling for rather than waste his time with more fruitless searching. And while his needs might be fairly simple, a certain green-themed Garrison cadet has a list twice as long as his arm, so. Feel free to pitch in.
And maybe bring a wheelbarrow. Or a really big cart.
Option B:
Not all of the upgrades he's after are things he can build himself, however. Some of them required more know-how and resources than he has at his disposal- which is why he was super thrilled that one of the more enterprising techies on the planet was willing to lend him both as a "favor" ...on one condition. Namely, that he prove they'd be going to good use, by testing out some of the friendly neighborhood philanthropist's other inventions.
With his fists.
Naturally he's not about to show up in the arena in his civvies, so Spider-Man's going to be a participant in the arena bouts for a few days. He won't be facing off against dangerous beasties or the usual combatants, though. No, he gets to "enjoy" a few exhibition matches against machines (and maybe a piloted mech suit or two). Not one of his best decisions, but also not one he's going to back out of, no matter how much sense that would make. And hey, there's probably money to be made from those fights too, right? Maybe not for him, but the guy putting him up to all this is probably entertaining plenty of wagers on the outcome. What Pete's gone and asked for might be free (ish) for him, but it's not going to build itself after all!
Maybe you're there to try making a quick profit yourself, or maybe even as a lucky partner in one of the larger bouts. Or heck, maybe you're just there for moral support!
Or, y'know, just somebody near the Huntress sometime during the aftermath of one of those fights, wondering why the ship's smaller lab support is trying to sneak his way back aboard while looking like he'd just gone ten rounds with an exceptionally angry steamroller. Whichever!
