"OK, 1... 2... 3... nothing can stop me! Well, as long as I don't fall or hit myself with some steal, but I digress."
Construction With a Sylveon (Bow's Plan)
1. First order of business. Those supplies from a while ago. Transport them to the site by the uplink station.
> "Simple. I'll grab some large dollies and use them to cart the supplies to the construction site. I'll also find some heavy-duty straps to secure the cargo while I'm wheeling it around. I don't want to create a big mess, do I?"
2. Next, set up the scaffolding. This is relatively simple, but you also need to find a way to keep the bottom foundation firm in the snow.
> "Hmmm... I use a snow blower and a shovel (or some Quick Attacks if the former two options are unavailable) to clear the snow away from the worksite. Next, I'll try using a drill or shovel to make some holes for the foundations to rest in. After that is setting up the scaffolding itself. I will take this time build a hoist for lifting cargo using some rope, pulleys, a motor, and a platform made out of hammered-together hardwood planks. After that's done... I don't know how useful this will actually be, but maybe I will deploy a safety net or something similar in case something goes very wrong. After all, safety should come first, right?"
3. Now you have the scaffolding up, how do we get the building materials hoisted?
> "Well, there's a reason why I built that hoist into the scaffolding. I'll just lift the supplies up a couple at a time using a few straps and some rigging as reinforcement. Falling cargo would be a nightmare to deal with."
4. This is the actual tower's function: the wiring and motherboard and stuff. Keep it safe. Now, the wires are also going to get shaken. Perhaps some assistance for it is necessary.
> "Assistance, huh? Well then..."
"HEEKO! PIANIST! Can you help me secure the wires while I build my portion of the tower? I'll bake you my signature Super Fluffy Triple Fudge Brownie cookies if you do!"
"If they refuse, I'll just braid the wires using some rubber belting and buckle the belting to a support beam."
5. Now, clean it all up. This means the scaffold and whatever leftover supplies. If it weren't for the snow piling on during building, you could probably kick the scaffold from the bottom.
"First, I'll stow the leftover supplies away in the armory and bunkers using the same techniques I used to move them out of storage. After that, I'll use a shovel and a series of Quick Attacks to expose the foundations, and then... I WILL MOONBLAST THAT SCAFFOLDING TO OBLIVION! Once the scaffolding collapses, I'll store the remaining parts in the huts for easy accessibility."
Bow rolls a 2, 4, 10, 1, and 4, yielding a total of 21 points.
Bow tries not to make a big mess trying to haul cargo challenge (impossible)
She just barely manages to clean up the snow, dig up holes, and set up the hoist, though it looks very haphazardly made.
Alright, materials successfully hoisted! ...And the hoist collapses on you. Ouch.
"Lemme tell you, Bow - I hate brownies."
...that was a fucking disastrous thing Heeko said. Unlikely that Bow will recover from THAT, she completely messes up the wire belting and belt buckling.
You hurt yourself slightly exposing the scaffolding, and the Moonblast sends the whole thing nearly crashing down upon you. Geez. At least the hut's obstacle was just a bit slow.
Dollies and straps are definitely helpful (+3), and so are the measures taken to properly set up the hoist (+3), Would be helpful for Heeko if you speed it up the hauling, frankly, even if you're doing it safely (+1), pretty crude method of getting the wires there (0), risking harming yourself and performing damage to disassemble the scaffolding? NO! (-3)
Bow's final score is 25 points!
Very interesting...first person to consume solid objects through liquid methods.
