Old dude is gravely wounded in the opener and sticks around to give MC “Excalibur” in the form of an “engineers gauntlet” which he created as a young man when building the utopian space station the MC grew up in. It’s something like a science based Swiss Army knife for building but if tinkered with it becomes a multi-weapon for the MC to use. I googled and YouTubed “most dangerous chemicals and substances” to find the most volatile shit you might not want used against you and then reworked it for a sci-fi effect. If you ignite Chlorine Triflouride and push it through a
Pressurized tine you’ve got a flame thrower that burns at 2400 degrees.
Do the same with liquid helium and you’ve got a “freeze ray”
If you line small cartridges withTeflon you can keep flouroantimonic acid rounds that seriously act like “alien/xenomorph acid” and eats through anything.
It’s all real science but if you saw the boring descriptions off and bend a minor rule or two, you’ve got some fun shit to play with.
There’s also silicone based lifeforms, white holes, time dilation (interstellar movie) and a host of other things.
I’m at 30k words. Should be done by valentine’s day.
