You know the Professor? [That certainly catches his attention. He wasn't aware that she and Gelda have spoken. Had Winry said anything about it? Dist can't recall.]

Oh, um...n-no. The gun actually fires highly condensed fifth fonons - there are seven in all, the fifth represents fire - as bullets. Basically, this makes ammunition for this type of firearm limitless back on my planet, where fonons are abundant.

Here in Luceti, I have to create devices within the gun to either make more fonons, or amplify the power of the already existing fonons. It's been a rather difficult project, and I'm still not finished... [He grumbles under his breath. If he was home, this gun would have taken him less than half a day to complete!]
