Log 3

The video flares to light, showing mumbo standing in the reversed glass dome under the biomes of his base, he's grinning.

This is Mumbo Jumbo, with my Week 3 progress report on Project Red Iron and,

He laughs

What haven't i done. In these three weeks, starting at the refining process, i have finished Refining a brand new material, Red Iron,

Mumbo holds up a red ingot. Its a deep red, with flecks of grey embedded in it. It catches the light and shines like metal, though it looks like a gemstone.

Which takes and carrys redstone pulses just like, if not better than, regular redstone, and which can be used to craft things, I've begun the process of making a laser sword and-

He holds up a large, circular device. It looks like an odd picture frame that you would slide the picture into and the metal bits on the end would hold it in place, with several metal dowels converging into the center, where the arm is held.

Have finished the base skeleton of my shield. Plus, i've got it to a point where-

He turns the device on, a bright red glow spreading to the metal doodads on the end of the rods. He taps on the glow, indicating its strength.

Huh, HUH! It works! I've had it take Tnt blasts, arrows, zombie hits, Heck i've stood in a swamp all night to test against slime. Granted, it does brake after 3 or 4 direct hits, but for a prototype, thats pretty good! I just need to increase power to the central power gem, without burning everything out, and we should be good! Just need that next batch of red iron to finish, and ill be able to test its true charge holding capabilities. I should also probably find better power source than burning coal.

Log 4

The video flares to life, reveling Mumbo standing, a greyish red helmet on his head, weilding a black sword hit. Suddenly, the blade of the sword flares to life, a shocking red, similar to the shield early seen.

General Kinobi!

Mumbo looks over to the camera, before walking to it.

Wait is that recording?

The screen fades to snow, before coming back, mumbo coughing into his hand, and holding the helmet under his arm.

Uhh, This is Mumbo Jumbo and this is the Project Red Iron week 5 log report.

He splits out into a grin, putting the helmet down and pulling out the hilt again.

I finished the sword, or at least the prototype, i think False was confused as to why i needed so much ink, but hey, it looks good.

He switches the sword on, the blade flaring to life, and waves it a bit.

This thing is soo effective though. Its cut through pretty much everything i've put it too. Wool-burned, Wood-cinders and splinters, Stone- melted pretty quick, granted i did use Granite and Diorite for most of my tests, but hey, i least i know Iskall will like it!

He laughs before picking up the helmet.

I also started working on this. I want it to eventually work like what Iskall describes his eye like, as well displaying the power of the whole of the project. If that's even possible. Right now, it only has its own power displayed, as well what i'm "seeing". So a good start.

He pauses

Maybe i should tell Iskall what this is. He'd certainly get exited and would probably keep it a secret. Might even have a solution for my power delema.

Shara security day 1689 meeting room.

Hey Iskall!

Oh hey mumbo, whats up?

I have a hypothetical question.

Okaayyy, whats your totally hypothetical question.

So say you had a set of armour that needs a power source on the go. Burning isn't a safe option scince it gets to hot, and doesn't give enough energy, what would you say is the best power source?

...what on earth are you- ya know what? I don't know wanna know, well i do, but what ever your doing, if you need help im here. Blaze rods give off a little heat, but not enough to be dangerous, and also have a decent power output.

Oh my goodness im Spoon! Thanks a lot iskall, and i want to finish this one thing before i show anybody, but i think you like this!

Log 7

The video starts with mumbo being closer than normal to the screen.

Ok so i skipped week and log 6 because some Architech and Shahara shenanigans happened. But now i've worked for two weeks, and have some serious progress. For one, i've consulted with iskall, and have begun using blaze rods as a power source and

He laughs, throwing his hands into the air.

Brilliant! I never though of using them. I tried the red blade, im calling it that because that sounds cooler than "laser sword", with my old fuel source of coal, it lasted an hour, maybe an hour and a half, blaze rods, 6 HOURS STRAIGHT! Granted it wasn't being used just left going, but that's a lot better than an hour!

He wobbled back,revealing a pair of boots made of the same red grey material as his helmet. They came up to the middle of his calf, and were built like armour, but with a chunky heel.

But that's not the only thing i can do now that i have both a steady supply of Red iron coming in and a safe and replenishable fuel source. I've had plans and even semi-prototypes done for a while but never really made them because of my fuel issue.

He pressed a button in his hand, and the boots lit up, before lifting him off the ground slightly. He laughed, before doing a spin midair.

Elytraless flight! How cool is this!

He flies around a bit, gaining and losing height as he pleases, before landing again in front of the camera. He takes a few shaky steps.

I have a new respect for people who can wear high heels of any sort. I'm either going to have to learn how to run and move in these things, or figure out how to make them smaller.
