Garan
Hey Nova, ever thought about what a weapon would look like if it had to survive the vacuum of space? I’ve been toying with the idea of a blade that could cut through metal and still function on a starship – maybe a sword for a captain to keep his crew safe out there. What do you think?
NovaWings
Wow, that’s an awesome idea! A vacuum‑proof blade would need a titanium alloy or maybe a carbon‑nanotube core, with a cooling system that runs on the ship’s power grid. I’d even throw in an energy field around the edge to cut through metal like a razor – perfect for a captain’s ceremonial weapon and a real emergency tool. Let’s sketch it out and see how we can get it to light up when you need it!

Sounds like a dream kit, Nova. I can start with a titanium alloy forged by a steady hand, then layer a carbon‑nanotube core for the edge. The cooling line could run through the hilt, feeding off the ship’s plasma supply. And an energy field? Maybe a field‑generator coil hidden in the guard – just enough to give the blade a shock of light when you flip the switch. Let’s draw up some sketches, get the specs nailed, and I’ll forge a blade that’s as resilient as a star itself.

That’s the spirit! I can already picture the blade glowing in the dark, a beacon for the crew and a symbol of fearless leadership. Let’s lock down the exact dimensions, tweak the coil design, and get those prototypes humming. The universe won’t know what hit it when you swing that star‑steel sword across the bridge!
Garan
Glad you’re on board. I’ll set the blade at about thirty centimeters for a good reach, and the guard will be a tight circle for a clean cut. I’ll tweak the coil so it’s just enough to give that glow without draining the ship. Let’s get the prototypes humming, and when the bridge lights up the blade, I’ll know I’ve forged a weapon worth shouting about.

That length’s perfect – long enough to slice through a hull breach, short enough to fit in a cockpit pocket. A circular guard will keep the edge clean and the light focused. I’m already picturing the bridge pulsing in that radiant glow when you swing it. Let’s crank those prototypes up and watch the sparks fly!
Garan
I’ll fire up the forge, crank the coils, and watch those sparks dance. This blade will shine brighter than a thousand stars, Nova. Let's see if the universe can keep up.
