New Month, New Poll, New Thread.

BenRG:
I'm calling it: We're about to have Jeph's tribute riff to Kerbal Space Program. All the characters are going to be vaguely Kerbal-like (either insanely brave or insanely cowardly) and most of their stuff shakes itself to bits within minutes of clearing the ground. The leaders are, naturally, spookily similar to Werner von Kerman (arrogant, dismissive of all except his genius) and Gene Kerman (enthusiastic, go-ahead and thinks all astronauts are idiots).

Nothing they do works... Until Adrent touches one pile of wreckage and then you have a fully-functional Mk2 Space Plane with passenger cabin, payload bay, robot arm and the works. Something like this:



The villagers name it the Elegant Tail after the great... catboy... himself. Sedna calls it Retribution One and tries to sneak a rack of nuclear ASAT warheads into the payload bay. Alice, being Alice, turns out to be an excellent aerospace pilot. She insists on calling it Freedom One.

Alice demands that Ardent tell her why he disobeyed her instructions not to touch technological stuff without her authorisiation. His response? "Gavia needs to go home to get her nanotech back."

Is there a kickstarter for your comic idea, BenRG, because I want in.  :-D

Zebediah:
Here's my ain't-gonna-happen prediction:

They find a nonfunctional robot at the bottom of the hole. Ardent touches it, reactivating it and upgrading it to Super-Mecha-Pintsize. The giant robot is all "NOW ENDS THE AGE OF MAN."

Then Sedna yells "It already ended, you idiot." Super-Mecha-Pintsize says "It did? Oh well then, never mind. Hey, nice butt!"

FunkyTuba:
What would happen if Ardent touched one of these:
