Description

It was not long until the CarBoS learned of the new machine operated by the turkeys. Although noone at CarBoS knew what the machine was supposed to do, the turkeys seemed to be quite fascinated by the new possibilities offered to them by the device. CarBoS could not fend off the impression though that the turkeys did not quite know themselves what the machine actually was doing.

But be that as it might, the machine had to be taken out of service before the turkeys found out whatever potential it had. So an experienced, old, greasy Mechanic was sent to the Turkeys lair at night.



He managed to reach the machine, open up some service hatches and tented his fingers while looking at the internal machinery. And then he took out his wrenches and isolated prongs. It was an easy task to pull out plugs and insert them to different sockets; removing hydraulic hoses and connecting them to different outlets was a bit more difficult, as he had to purge the system off trapped air afterwards. But this was no hard task for a seasoned mechanic either. Also, he short-wired some transistors and finally for good measure installed a little unit comprising of a large transistor and a coil in the electric supply, inducing a shift between voltage and current the machine was not originally designed to handle.

And then he closed the machine up again and returned home.

The next day, the machine was switched on by the curious turkeys who finally wanted to find out what it did to help them against the Carnivores. It started to rattle, shake and tremble. After a while, a little hatch on the side popped up and out came a trickle of molten lead. The turkeys were completely stumped - how was this to help them against their enemies and why did the inventor build such a complicated machine just to deliver some molten lead?
