Anyone showing up to equipment orientation would find a very tall, curly haired man leaned against a wall. He's waiting inside the lab, behind its "Biohazard" labelled doors. Once people begin to show up, he offers a quick greeting and a brief smile, gesturing for them to continue on while he waits for the rest. People are free to look around at the grand library while he waits for the proper head count. Once he thinks everyone has arrived, he takes them up the steps. A great deal of models are suspended from the ceiling that look like space age designs for jet planes, cars, boats, and any number of other things. There are other objects that are much more inexplicable: a giant silver ball, suspended by several rods, for example.

There's another set of doors at the end of the balcony, and he swipes his access card through a reader beside them. They depress with a space age hiss. revealing a clean white laboratory, with rows and rows of tables and lab equipment set up. Numerous knights buzz around in white lab coats, working under microscopes and on computers, conferring over a number of projects.

"Just a bit further." He calls over his shoulder as he waves to a few of the lab techs that he knows. There's a door on the left side of the room with a panel that he presses his hand to, causing the light to change from red to green, unlocking the door for the group.

Beyond is a very long room, with rows of labelled cases and cabinets with transparent glass revealing what's inside. He puts both hands on the edge of the table and takes a deep breath to begin.

Just think of it as a free pass. Show it to the shops and they will borrow your card, do some mumbo-jumbo with it and they will give you the items you want. [So not true, but it's easier to explain it like that.] But they're not actually giving you items for free, they will visit the castle's treasury later and ask gold from the treasurer for the items.

Very generous of Wynn to give us all such access to his treasure.

[badexample]

It's not... I mean, that's not really how it works. See, no one's really got treasure like that anymore. Well- Wynn might. Not really sure. I mean- hell, if you use this, you might never see actual money ever. Don't really need to, really.

[Yes, that cleared it right up, Andrew. A+ job.]

[sternshield]

Then how does anyone know there's real money anywhere to be found?

[unforgivably]

It's pretty much how it is. We all have access to company treasure.

[immuno]

It's tracked electronically. Think of it as Wynn's bartering potential. Rather than using a strictly barter economy, we use a symbolic system. It's easier to carry around than a barrel full of fish, and better serves those whose contributions are less concretely productive.

[badexample]

Yeah, that. [Andrew pauses.] Who're you?

[immuno]

Lydia Martin, squired to Sir Magnus.

[badexample]

Sounds about right. [/handwaves things about my characters knowing each other. Andrew glances around at the others.] Yeah, just listen to her about it. She's got the right idea

[unforgivably]

[ Lydia has the patience to explain things to Gimli. Good for her. He's just half-listening now! ]
