149 Strange Device

On the third floor of the first year building were the VIP dorm rooms. Quinn had decided to head there to meet one person in particular. That person would be Logan. Although he was unsure of whether Logan could even help him or not.

Quinn's plan was to use the winged lizard crystals to create some type of costume or suit that would cover his entire body. He needed a flexible material so it could wrap around him but he also needed it to be strong.

It was easy for him to find a black suit that covered his body that would allow him to avoid the sunlight. The problem was the second Quinn would be hit and the suit ripped then he would return back to his weak old self again.

Which was why when he learnt of Sam's cape from the game he had come up with an idea. The only problem was crafting a costume out of the items. Most blacksmith and tailors had a blueprint they would follow.

They would specify the techniques used on top of what other materials to mix when creating weapons and armour. But because Quinn was asking for something that hadn't been made before he would have to ask someone at the expert level designer to make one for him.

This would be very costly and even if he sold all the crystals and used up the ones in his hand he wouldn't have enough to pay the cost. This led him to Logan. He saw how many crazy things Logan seemed to create himself in the room. He thought perhaps he might have an idea or if not would be able to introduce someone to him who could do it at a cheaper price.

At first, Quinn knocked on the door but there seemed to be no answer. It was strange because for the week that Quinn trained using Logan's machine. He hadn't seen him leave the room once.

When trying to push the door open he was surprised to see that it wasn't locked nor shut properly. "Hello?" Quinn asked as he crept into the room.

Just at the other end of the room, he could see Logan in his chair. He had some sort of metallic tool glove in his right hand while a giant pair of goggles seemed to be hovering over his eyes.

"Oh, he was just busy as usual. "

Quinn then started to look around the room at all the gadgets around him. He knew when Logan was in his concentration mode no matter what you did you wouldn't get his attention. So the best thing to do was just to wait until he was done.

While walking around the room Quinn continued to look at all the strange devices and whenever he found something interesting he would use his inspect skill.

What he noticed were some of the devices the system seemed to have no clue telling what it was. While others would give basic descriptions such as what part of the item it was made from.

For the others, it would simply show a line of ?????

These were items that Logan had uniquely created and didn't exist in the world. But there was one thing they all had in common and that was the name of the creator, Logan Dyson.

But as Quinn was looking around he spotted a strange circular object on one of the shelves. It stood out compared to the rest because most of the things in the room seemed to be covered in dust but not this one.

It was a square shaped device no bigger than a laptop and on the top, it seemed to have some type of digital display.

Quinn moved in to take a closer look. It seemed to be the only item that wasn't made by Logan and on top of that, it was a teleporter. But it was one that he had never seen before. The portal teleporters they currently carried were quite a large device but this was small and compact as if the technology was ahead of their current time.

Quinn reached out to grab it and just then a voice from behind was heard.

"Hey, if you want to get your fingers blown away, then please I suggest you carry on and touch it." Logan said with his seat turned around staring at Quinn. "Then again I would love to see which ability was stronger mine or yours."

"Sorry," Quinn said as he retreated his hand. " Do you know what this is? It looked kind of interesting."

Just then the robotic gauntlet that was on one of these hands started to break down. It appeared to move into smaller parts until they looked like little bugs. The bugs then went over to where Quinn had grabbed the case and brought it over to Logan.

"This thing has been the bane of mine and my family's life," Logan said looking around it. "As you know my family were Originals who hid their abilities from the world. Before the war started they were researchers who worked privately for different corporations. Sometimes governments, armies and all sorts. Anyway, from one of their trips around fifty years ago they discovered this device. At the time no one knew what it was and it seemed like our ability didn't work on it either.

My family tried to research it and eventually when we discovered the Dalki technology we found similarities it appears to be some type of teleporter. But the question is, why would Dalki technology exist on earth before they even arrived. Then that just brings us even more questions, why did the dalki attack us? Were they here before but we just never knew."

Hearing all of these questions were even causing Quinn to think. Perhaps Logan was on to something, before he would have taken everything the government had told as fact, he knew they hid things. Governments always did but just like his Vampire system were they even hiding bigger secrets from the Public?

"Anyway," Logan said. "It's not like I'm expecting you to know any of these answers. The one thing we do know is whoever was able to create a compact teleporter such as this is a Genius. Oh, how I wish I could meet him one day."

"Wait what did you say?" Quinn replied. "Did you say you don't know who created it?���

"Of course I don't. If I did, me and my family would have been chasing him for generations."

Now Quinn was even deeper in though. Richard Eno was a well known scientist, the person who had discovered not only the power of beast crystals but also how the Dalki portals worked. Could he have really known everything all along?

Right now though this was too big of a problem to solve especially for someone like him. He was just one person in this whole thing and he had his own problems to deal with.

"Anyway," Logan said. "What did you visit me here, did you want to play the game again?"

"Actually," Quinn said. "I was wondering if you could help make me a suit."
