"Well, to start with, we'll need some basic psychic conduits and a chassis. Oh, and some transmitters and wave amplifiers. This is just the basic parts, you can find those at the local store known as Radio Shack." Sollos said.
He forced his mommy's body to take a pen off the endtable and jot down a list for you. You took the list and read it over. You had no idea what any of it was. You felt a bit stupid seeing it and being totally puzzled, but set that feeling of inadequacy aside for the moment.
"Think you can find these?" Sollos asked.
You smiled and gave him a salute.
"I'll do my best, my magnificent cousin!" You said.
Sollos' voice giggled from his mother's body. He loved being called "Magnificent".
"Thank you, Lucy. I'll be back here getting things ready in the house." He said.
You went to put on a sleeveless shirt and some shorts before you left. No sense being kicked out of the mall for running around half-naked, although you intentionally chose regular clothes that showed off as much of you body as possible. You were quite proud of your physique. Then you grabbed your purse and walked down to the mall. It wasn't far, only a little less than a mile if you took shortcuts across a park and some woodsy areas.
Once inside the mall, you quickly located Radio Shack and began going through looking for the parts on the list Sollos had given you. It was a rather large amount of machinery! One workers began to stare. He was a young short blonde boy, probably about 17 or 18, polite and judging from his mannerisms, introverted and somewhat intimidated by you, a strong and powerful woman around his age. His nametag said his name was "Steve". You knew you could probably beat him up with no real effort if you had to.
"Ma'am, what exactly do you need all this stuff for anyway?" Steve the RadioShack clerk asked, somewhat nervously.
You smiled.
"Oh, just a science project." You said, flipping your hair innocently.
The boy took a look at the list you were holding.
"Hang on, I can get couple of those from the back." He said.
Steve went to the backroom and came out with an armful of boxes, he rest of the items you needed. He began ringing them up.
"Wew, that comes to $1,450.37"
Your heart sank. You didn't have that kind of money. You only had about 200$ in your purse, most of it saved from doing odd jobs for your neighbors.
