Nikolai jumped a little when Thomas slammed his cane down. ''Dammit. What did I do?'' Straightening himself, Nikolai nodded.

"O-of course, Mr. Hearts. Let's head back to the elevator."

(Skip to the top floor)

Nikolai directed Thomas to another section of the laboratory. Similar to the very first location, when they had seen the waste management, but instead of an Atomizer, there was a peculiar machine on the lab floor. This machine appeared to be a miniature radio antenna, with a strange donut-shaped object at the top. Nikolai stopped at the viewing section.

"This is one of our advances into clean, renewable energy, at no cost except for the purchase of the antenna itself. It has been designed to collect raw lightning from the sky, as well as static electricity, and convert it into usable energy for anyone to use. The donut shaped object at the top acts as a lightning rod and collects the energy, and the antenna-like part transforms it into electricity usable in a home. Let's have a demonstraion, shall we?"

An assistant brought out a television, a modern, flat-screen, clearly expensive one. The assistant hooked up the television to a special cable connected to the antenna. Plugging the cable into the TV, the assistant looked back at Nikolai, giving a nod. Nikolai smiled.

"If you'll excuse me, Mr. Hearts, I shall demonstrate this myself. My walking stick is actually the weapon I built in my Signal days, and can fire bolts of lightning. Since it is unfortunately a cloudless day, I shall demonstrate this one myself." Entering the demonstration area, Nikolai made sure that his walking stick was at an appropriate voltage and Amperage. Taking aim, he fired a bolt of lightning directly at the donut. The donut seemed to absorb the lightning, then crackeled for a few seconds.

Almost immediately, the television lit up, showing the Vale News Network in High Definition. Nikolai smiled and returned to Thomas's side.

"And there you go, the first of our creations into renewable and clean energy. This poses absolutely no threat to any household, and can generate a month's worth of electricity with one lightning strike. Collecting static electricity in the air all day also lets it make enough electricity for two weeks. We do have one more, however. Would you like to see it, or is there anything else you're interested in?"
