[The Drifter found something. They found something cool. Their traveling companions were not, evidently, too interested in dealing with the ancient weaponry found in the old ruined buildings - but the Drifter very much is.]

[So now they have ten very old firearms between the three of them. Pieces of another civilization's history that's also a weapon? This is Christmas.]

FOUND

10 GUNS
VERY OLD
NO AMMUNITION
MAY BE POSSIBLE TO RESTORE

[Who's interested?]

Comments

[hyperlit]

it is a resource
it is worship
why overlook it

[Are supplies not limitless, when those supplies are stories?]

[forwearemany]

We do not.

(They've requested a lot of things from the Storyteller, and the Drifter has seen several of them.)

If these guns are utilized, a continuous supply of gunpowder will be necessary. Though it is possible to obtain this from the storyteller, it is prudent to explore other methods, considering that the Storyteller is not always available.

[hyperlit]

[Hm. Also true.]

possible it can be mined
mountain territories may have ore
guns were made from metal

[Ergo, these people must've had access to something of the sort, yes?]

[forwearemany]

Yes. Additionally, sugar can be used in place of sulfur, and saltpeter can be acquired via the processing of organic waste.

(It actually shows up on farms sometimes, where a lot of animal waste has collected.

...Which is gross, but Legion doesn't get disgusted over that stuff the way many organics and more organic like robots do.)

[hyperlit]

good
then supply exists already

[forwearemany]

Affirmative.
