Designing the Cannon

[Darth Morgoth]

Melkor sat at his work bench, deep in thought. He had just secured the go ahead from his leader Lysle for The Nexus of the Red Ravens to make their own military base and he was designing a cannon to have mounted on the walls of his new fort. He studied the designs of The Proton Cannon used in his own tank.

 

[Darth Morgoth]

He sighed as he looked at the schematics of the weapon, he would have to set up an acount between The Nexus and his own company Vulcan Industries in order to handle the manufactering proccess. He was just happy that The Nexus was well funded by the Red Ravens core operations because he was going to need those funds. He pulled out an empty blueprint sheet and began to draw up his own version. He began to tinker with the concept of making it a self reloading weapon.

 

[Darth Morgoth]

As he swirld the thoughts around in his head he thought of the traditional turrent design. Coupling that with a side mounted fireing position and a mechanical arm it would have no issue in being a more versatile weapon, adding to its already high damage output. He worked in the side mount into the new schematics and attached a mechanical arm to the back of the chair mount that would automaticly reload the weapon. He knew that this would make the cannon a force not to be reckoned with.

 

[Darth Morgoth]

He then began to work up a swivel mount that would be able to hand to recoil of the tremendous force that would be exerted by such a beast of a weapon. He smiled loving every second of his job. He decided to go with a hydrualic base mount with corrosponding rotating cylinders. This would allow the massive beast of mechanicle genius to recover from a blast and reload while being able to simultaneously turn to find a new target. He was very happy so far. Though he had mostly droids in his forces he saw no reason to expend more forces then needed.

Melkor grinned as began to add some designs to the side of cannon giving it the final touches before he rose from his seat at the table. He knew it was ready and decided to have prototype built to these specifications. Walking out of his office he walked over to the front desk called his factory. He sent the schematics over to the factory and said "Ok this time I want you to make a much bigger weapon. I need it ready for next week at the latest. Follow every direction to to T!"

(Npc from here on)
Rex answered the phone and rolled his eyes at his boss'es admonition. It wasnt like the incident with the Olympic series happened often! He thought to himself "Ugh you make one mistake and everyone jumps on your back like your're a failure!"

 

[Darth Morgoth]

Rex mumbled a "Yes Sir" And turned to his team. He sighed and said "Its another big order, we have to work fast and get this done or else the boss will come down and you know we dont want him doing that now do we?". Looking over the plans he reconized the Proton Cannon, it was truely a thing of beauty. He began to make the neccecary calls to his collegues.

 

[Darth Morgoth]

Rex smiled sarcastically as he called the durasteel manufactuer and said "Hey Manny! I need you to get few parts made for me on the double............... Yes I'm sending them over now!" He typed a few keys and sent the relavent parts to the grumpy welder. He turned back to his phone and said "YES! I understand that this is a tight deadline but if we dont get it done then we really will be dead! THANK YOU! Send them over as soon as they are ready!" He hung up and sighed

 

[Darth Morgoth]

Rex smiled as the parts came in. He liked it when business was done quick and in a hurry. He looked over to the team who had been working on the side mount and hydraulics part and said "Now comes the fun part. We have 3 days to finish this cannon or we will be fired. And I do mean literally." Somtimes Rex wondered why he still worked here, then he remebered the pay was exorbadantly good, and his boss would fight for his life as soon as he would end it... and that was saying somthing.

 

[Darth Morgoth]

It was 3 days later and the prototype for the cannon was in. Rex was proud of his work and he knew that his boss would be too. A second later Melkor walked in, he was clad in his leather armor and who knows what else. Rex rolled his eye slightly "Why does he always have to be ready for a fight?" He thought to himself. But he smiled anyways and said "Your new cannon is ready, and if a may say so myself it is a fine piece of weaponary."

Melkor smiled and said"You should be proud, I will take the cannon with me. And you can expect a bonus in your next check." and with that the Sith Lord left, a few minutes later his personal truck came and collected the weapon. Rex sighed, he may not always like his boss, but damm he loved his job.
