El Tigre pushes the twitching hunk of junk out of the way. He looks to Vlad and pats him on the back, "Hoho, you fight well seņor! Let's clean up the rest of them."

Give a thumbs up to the audience members, and a one-handed chest beat for the camera drone. Follow the doggos (doggoes?) into the resturant.

"Oh, mierda.."
Shake that ear ringing off!

Seeing Sandra go for the lion, El Tigre joins her to offer an assist.

Attempt to grapple the lion with one arm, using the other to hold its tail down, allowing Sandra to get a big bite out of it.

A 13th Fallen Star lands on the world. It harbours Eldritch energy.

"That belongs in a museum beyond the reach of mortals."

The Dong one is mostly right. As terrifying as it may be in the hands of say a dragon or a single race, I would like for the mortals to study it in hopes of discovering what it means. ((and to move the plot forward))

"Sandra, nice to meet you. Helen and I met...actually, fought at the arena. The company Terraterror had us fighting before I disabled the device that was interfering with Helen, and then we faced off against a big yeti."

...Helen definitely brings up an interesting alternative, but there is strength in numbers.

Try to shake off the ear ringing.

"Fine, we will follow you to Ipswich, but you try something funny and I will pull you off this bike again."

"Mi nombre es El Tigre Picante de Hierro, but you may call me El Tigre. And what is your name, seņorita?"

Refocyte Electric Power Generator
[Insert story about how someone was working on a new method of holding refocyte with a magnet while priming it, being confused why it wasn't getting primed, and then being sent flying back from electric shock when they touched the magnet]
--------------------
Electricity wasn't that foreign of a concept by the end of the 19th century, but with the discovery of how refocyte can be used to provide it caused a massive breakthrough. More importantly, it was much more efficient, generating 1.5x the amount of power conventional methods could provide. While refocyte used this way eventually lost its ability to absorb kinetic energy entirely, a fist sized chunk could still survive a year of continous beating. The first power plant to take advantage of this was a dam along a major river. The water powered turbines apply kinetic force to chunks of refocyte, and magnets attached to it pull the electrical charge. At max efficiency, this single powerplant is estimated to generate a whopping 13,000MWh per day.

Outlandish Ordnance Pump-action Shotgun
The OOPS is a sturdy and reliable pump-action shotgun. The barrel is a standard 12 guage (18.5mm in the superior metric format), with a rifled choke at the end to aid in range and accuracy for larger projectiles and reduce the spread of pellet type projectiles. While the gun itself looks quite standard, it is fed by a block of nanites that allows it change ammo types on the fly.
The gun has an easy access dial that allows the user to rapidly switch which type of ammunition will be loaded in the chamber next. The pump action has a secondary feature where the user can reset which type of ammo is currently loaded, in case they choose one that is not ideal. Those with an Omnivisor Suite will get a HUD update showing which ammo type is currently loaded.
While each ammo type can be created from the same nanite block, they use various amounts of material. The first version includes the following ammo types:

• Buckshot: Very-close range, wide spread. The large pellets are devestating at very-close range, but still have plenty of stopping power beyond 25m. Buckshot shells are easy to create and don't use a lot of material.
• Slug: Close range, high accuracy. A hollowed out rear and ribbing on the slug provides incredible accuracy up to 200 meters, even through light cover. Slug shotshells are easy to create and don't require a lot of material.
• Fletchette: Close range, wide spread. Due to their unique shape, the projectiles have a flatter flight pattern while also being able to pierce light body armor. In ideal situations, fletchettes have about four times the range of buckshots, while lacking some of the devestation at very close range. The fletchettes are made of an incredibly dense material, allowing them to have decent stopping power at max range, which causes the nanite block to use more material for each shotshell.
• Boomers: Close range. Essentially a fragmentation grenade pretending to be a slug loaded into OOPS that explodes on impact. While the explosion is not very large, the resulting fragments can be lethal to enemy soldiers around the impact site. For safety reasons, the grenade only arms after it travels 3m from the barrel. If it impacts a surface before 3m, it disables itself. They are very heavy, and quite complex, meaning the nanite block will use a drastic amount of material.
• High Explosive Armor Piercing: Close to Medium range, anti-vehicle. Featuring a secondary firing mechanism and stabilizing fins, the HEAP is a shotshell containing a small warhead and propelant. The warhead is able to penetrate up to 1.25cm of armor plating before exploding and sending fragments into the interior of the vehicle or behind cover. The missile requires about 50 meters to get up to full speed, but can reliably hit a still target at 600m away. Due to its complexity, large ammo size, and exotic material usage, a nanite block can only create four and requires a short cooldown period of three seconds after creation of the HEAP shotshell (note: this means that as long as one has already been created and put in the chamber, the soldier can fire two in quick succession after leaving cover).
• Hellfire: Very-close range, incendiary. A casing filled with thermite based incendiary material and a high-temperature ignition device. The material continues to burn long after firing, making it difficult to receive aid from a medical applicator due to nanites being unable to approach the wounds. Since the material is lightweight, the incendiary pellets lose most of their stopping power beyond 25m, but still continue to burn. Hellfire shotshells are complex, but do not use a lot of material.
