Tank found himself in a large room lined with all sorts of contraptions. He first crossed a chair bolted to large wheels with handles.
"A wheel chair." A blonde girl of around sixteen moved to shake Tank's hand.
"Hello. This is my grandfather's shop. Welcome, Tank." She clearly recognized Tank from his Games.
"My name is Rivet Kelso. Are you looking for anything in particular?"
Rory arrived as Tank was inquiring about the work shop and its more unusual devices. As Tank and Rory looked around, they spotted several contraptions with chairs that looked interesting. One was a tree stand that was completely mobile through using ones' arms. There was a hiking chair where one could carry someone atop ones' back. Then there was an odd device with a chair perched atop of four metal legs that looked like a horses' legs. Seeing the interest, Rivet pressed the joystick on the arm of the chair.
The chair lifted from the floor, circling the room on its 'legs'. The chair was still 'walking' on its own when Rory arrived. As it walked by Rory, she noted that the price tag for the walking apparatus was 10,000 credits or best offer.

There were
- A hand device with a grasping hook for 200
- A device with only a reloadable javelin that could be fired off as a projectile for 500
- A hand device with a clip for snapping onto a modified bow for 600
- A full hand that could open and close slowly, grasping objects for 800
- A full hand with an optional 'grip' for a weapon hilt such as a sword to be slipped in and held securely
