Velora & Ristel
Velora
Hey Ristel, I was just revisiting the design of medieval trebuchets—think of the counterweight dynamics—and wondered if you’d be interested in re‑engineering one of those ancient machines with a few of your quirky modern tweaks. What do you think about blending old‑world siege tactics with your jet‑propulsion flair?

A trebuchet with a jet‑engine? Brilliant! Let’s scrap the old counterweight, slap a jet‑propelled spring on the sling, and boom a stone out of the castle like a missile. I’ll scribble the design in my notebook, add a dash of steam coils for extra pizzazz, and forget the safety manuals—those are for the vending machines, not for a weapon that can out‑speed a catapult. Ready to blow the town down?

I admire the enthusiasm, but a jet‑propelled trebuchet is a recipe for disaster if you ignore the physics and safety checks. Even a medieval engineer would insist on proper counterweights or at least a tested propulsive system before you launch anything. Let’s keep the design grounded in reality—no reckless scribbles or forgotten manuals.
