6.-Solar-Powered Engineer Pistol-
Sometimes ideas hit you like lightning. This happened to me one day as I searched the body of a deceased Slayerdroid. Sometimes you can find a thing called a 'Experimental Nanobot Classifying Computer' on them. As I held it in my hand I knew at once what it could be used for. Earlier in the day I had found one of those nanobot jars while doing a mission for some unspecified employer. Filling the energized nanobots from the 'Mist Filled Jar' into the nanobot containment chamber of the 'Experimental Nanobot Classifying Computer' I managed to turn it into an 'Energized Nanobot Transmitter'. I could hook my 'Solar-Powered Machinist Pistol' onto this and get the 'Solar-Powered Engineer Pistol'.

Again, an improvement was discovered while researching a completely different project. This time I was trying to find a way to accelerate the speed of the individual NCU instead of using the cumbersome recomplier. The process is as follows: Use the 'Nano Programming Interface' to re-program the 'Nano Formula Recompiler'. You get a 'Re-configured Nano Formula Recompiler'. Now get some skilled person to use a 'Lock Pick' on a normal type of 'NCU Memory' to disconnect it. Connect the 'Re-Configured Nano Formula Recompiler' with the 'Disconnected NCU Memory' and get an 'Accelerated NCU Memory' - which should speed up the time you use to run nano programs from the NCU.
The next step can be a difficult one. What you need to find now is a 'Crystalized Medusa Queen Hippocampus'. This is a singular part of the medusa brain that seems to work in symbiosis with nanobots. Merge the 'Accelerated NCU Memory' with the 'Crystalized Medusa Queen Hippocampus' to create the 'Symbiotic NCU'. You will understand how once you have the parts needed. Finally attach your 'Solar-Powered Engineer Pistol' to the 'Symbiotic NCU' and get your 'Solar-Powered Master Engineer Pistol'.

3.-Solar-Powered Mender Pistol-
Stray and wilful robots have become a pest on Rubi-Ka as they are on many other planets. Slow in evolving they are generally considered harmless to human life, but their constant plundering is annoying. While doing my duty, dispatching them, I gathered a small collection of Technoscavenger Brains. They have an impressive mechanical library, which I learned how to utilize with my pistol: First you use a 'Screwdriver' on the 'Technoscavenger Brain' to extract the 'Technoscavenger Mechanics Library'. Combining this library with a 'Bio Analyzing Computer' I made a 'Mechanical Analyzer'. Thread the magazine of your 'Solar-Powered Pistol' onto the 'Mechanical Analyzer' and you have the 'Solar-Powered Mender Pistol.
4. -Solar-Powered Mechanic Pistol-
Experiencing the usefulness of the mechanics library I soon figured out a way to apply an Electrical Engineering library to the gun. First I got my 'Electrical Engineering Tutoring Device' hacked with a 'Hacker Tool' to give me access to the library. Then I attached the 'Hacked Electrical Engineering Tutoring Device' to a 'Disposal Unit Electrical Toolset'. (This toolset I bought from a neutral trader in Tir - and it was perfect for my purpose). The result, a 'Modified Electrical Toolset', I mounted my 'Solar-Powered Mender Pistol' onto, and got the 'Solar-Powered Mechanic Pistol'.
5. -Solar-Powered Machinist Pistol-
Field Quantum Physics is perhaps a hard skill to 'understand', but there are few other crafts which uses are multiplied as much due to the unique conditions on Rubi-Ka. Originally I developed this process to create the popular 'Notum-Threaded Backpack', but I found that the end product could easily be made a part of the pistol design. This is how: First I hacked a 'Field Quantum Physics All-Purpose Tool' to turn off all material currents, render harmless the time lock and temporarily seal the T-NCU. Then I modified this 'Hacked Field Quantum Physics Tool' with an operational 'Field Quantum Physics All-Purpose Tool' to create an 'Unstable Space reduction Chamber'.
I realized that a large amount of Notum would be needed to stabilize the chamber, and I spent many months in search for a suitable source. What I finally got was a 'Notum Threaded Zodiacal Blanket'. A friend of my organization found this for me, I think in one of the Artery forests. Combining the 'Unstable Space Reduction Chamber' with the 'Notum Threaded Zodiacal Blanket' I created the 'Notum Threaded Backpack'. Lastly I combined the backpack with my 'Solar-Powered Mechanic Pistol' to end up with the 'Solar-Powered Machinist Pistol'.

My original project was simply trying to find a way to improve the solar-powered pistol that is handed out to many of the new arrivals on this planet. I am by no means a tight person, but I was early in my engineering career attracted to weapons that use no ammunition. It has to do with saving resources. It is an environmental concern, but for a clanner it is also about being self-supported. Last I checked, 94 percent of the import to Rubi-Ka was still controlled by Omni-Tek in one way or another. All imported ammunition is for use with Omni-Tek, and most of what the clans use is from stocks built up during the last conflict.
Anyway, those were my personal reasons and my initial motivation for doing all those experiments. As time passed the project has got a life of its own, and the end result is far better than what I ever had hope of creating. Let us begin:
1. -Solar-Powered Pistol-
In case you've destroyed your 'newbie pistol', I've traced the process used for creating it: First you need to build a simple, solar-powered computer. That can be done by attaching an 'Auto Targeting Computer -IIR 4 -Ultra-' to a 'Basic Calculator'. The result is called a 'Solar-Powered Weapon Supervisor'. The supervisor has no power unless it is given some means to control matter. To do this you combine the 'Solar-Powered Weapon Supervisor' with a 'Jandawit Cleanup Cluster'. The cluster has the added effect that it keeps the weapon clean whenever its nanobots are not used for gathering molecular sized pieces of matter. The result, the 'Solar-Powered Weapon Device' is lastly combined with an 'Irreparable River MV' to get the 'Solar-Powered Pistol'. NOTE: Only the 'irreparable' River MV will be possible to use with this device. More 'alert' pistols will simply reject it.
2. -Solar-Powered Tinker Pistol-
This improvement will increase the damage of the pistol and also create an advanced connection to the host. The first step is to modify a 'Jensen Personal Ore Extractor' with a 'Screwdriver' to cut the connection between the wave sensors and the drilling arms. The result is a 'Modified Jensen Ore Extractor'. To control the function of the arms and focus the use of the wave sensors I used a 'Robotic Self-Preservation System'. I found plenty of them on a scrap heap in Newland. Combine the 'Robotic Self-Preservation System' with the 'Modified Jensen Ore Extractor' to get a 'Unstable Preservation System'. To stabilize the system, insert a common 'Notum Chip' or a 'Notum Fragment' to get a 'Stable Preservation System'. Finally, attach your 'Stable Preservation System' to the 'Solar-Powered Pistol' to get the 'Solar-Powered Tinker Pistol'.
