He paused at the laugh, and looked down at his hands, before pulling the electrogun out and putting it on the desk. "I made that with about 5 dollars worth of equipment ma'am. I am Junkyard, I make everything stretch farther than it feasibly should."<br/><br/>He put the weapon back in its holder, before shrugging. "Besides, the 40k would have lasted about 3 years for me, and that would mostly be on food stuffs. I don't need much, only what I can get out of a junkyard, to get a couple grand from a super or even a regular with an issue."<br/><br/>He didn't mention that he had actually been toying with asking for 70k originally, but considering how many tons of steel and iron he would be using to make actual quality equipment, and to convert it into the more durable metals he would need massive amounts of iron or steel, he had dropped it. "Junkyard was originally an insult. I showed up with the first version of the electrogun, and one of the other outfitter applicants asked if I had found it in a junkyard. The name stuck after I passed the tests with the added challenge of only using junkyard materials as a taunt to him.<br/><br/>But yes, that works fine. Not used to having a government budget. Used to having less than a shoestring, to be honest."
