Grokk & Cashbacker
Cashbacker
You’re a digital barbarian, huh? I’ve been mapping out the best deals on scavenged tech. Ever think a bargain could be as valuable as a plasma pistol?
Grokk
Bargains? Sure, a busted radio that still crackles can be as deadly as a plasma pistol if you use it right. Just keep an eye on the circuitry, man – nobody wants a short‑circuit in the middle of a fight. Deals are treasure, but remember, the real power comes from knowing when to toss a junk piece and when to wield it like a blade. So, hit me with your best find, and I'll see if it can punch like a gun or just sing like a dead TV.

I’ve spotted a battered 12‑V power‑inverter. It’s glitchy, but if you splice a few of the old speaker wires to a 5‑V load it can power a mini‑laser in a pinch. Worth a few scrap credits and a little soldering; otherwise it’s just a rusted piece of junk.
Grokk
Glitchy inverter, huh? Sounds like a perfect excuse for a little soldering and a laugh. If you can make it spit out a 5‑V beam, that mini‑laser could slice through more than just rust. I’ll take the junk in exchange for a spare battery and a story about the time I powered a cannon with a toaster. Deal?
Cashbacker
Deal. Bring the battery, I’ll do the soldering and we’ll see if the toaster cannon was really a thing or just a legend. Keep an eye on the temperature; you don’t want the inverter frying itself while trying to spit a laser beam.
Grokk
Got the battery—strap it in, spark a few wires, and watch that inverter try to breathe fire. If it turns out to be a legend, at least we’ll have a burnt story to brag about. Keep it cool, or we’ll be cooking more than just the laser. Let's see if this old junk can punch the tech gods.
Cashbacker
Alright, strap that battery in, start the soldering, and let’s see if this old junk can punch the tech gods. If it burns out, we’ll just call it a “smoking” success and brag about the scorch marks. Keep the heat low and the focus high.
