#Adjustable height Workbench

Troubleshooting

For @glitterypirateduck's super fun Oh, Captain! challenge. This is for prompt #8 where our deceptive captain tries to hide a secret from his gunsmith.

She could smell him long before she saw his hulking form stop in front of her office door. The sweet scent of his signature Romeo y Julieta cigars gave him away; a jewel from Villa Clara, Cuba. The tight-rolled tobacco smoldered amber and gold in the dark, its rustic funk and black licorice smoke gently curling out of his parted lips, trapped under his dirty boonie hat.  

When she had been assigned to his team, she’d been dreading the constant relocating and high profile secrecy. It was hard enough to find 5.56 ammo for that mouthy Scot’s Steyr bullpup, much less have it delivered to a black site without a postcode. But, as she let her eyes wander up his mountainous shoulders, tracing the outline of a sharp, scruffy Adam’s apple, watching as his jaw rippled and clenched to bite down on the soft end of his cigar, she admitted to herself that she could deal with a few shipping delays as long as she got to enjoy John Price. Now, just a few weeks into this roughshod operation, she ached to see what lurked under all that gear. 

She cleaned up her station, carefully screwing on the cap to her powder and putting it under the workbench. When he spoke, it was always confident but soft, like a stage whisper, words only she was meant to hear. 

“Smithy,” he took a long drag from his Cuban and pulled the creamy smoke in through his nose, a very casual French inhale, breathing it out and down sharply, purposefully avoiding her face.

He’d never called her by her name, only by his clipped version of her title of Chief Gunsmith. She knew he must be aware of it since he requested her transfer, but she had always been “Smithy” to him. 

“Captain, how are we this evening?” She gazed into his eyes with intent, hoping he would see her desire in them and be pleased. 

“We’re alright,” he took the cigar from his mouth and let it rest between his fingers, smiling down at her as he loomed, his height making her feel small. He removed his hat, placing it on her bench before leaning against the table, his huge hand spreading wide across the stainless surface. He continued,

“You know, this M4 has been giving me a bit of trouble. I cleaned it, but even after a full breakdown, the bolt isn’t sitting flush. Think you could help me get it all the way in?”

She let his quiet rumbling voice wash over her like a wave, lapping at her mind and making her breath catch in her chest. The double entendre was so obvious as to almost be in jest, but his suggestive tone - though subtle - was enough for her to believe in it. 

“Did you use enough oil? A little lubricant goes a long way, Captain, but some parts need more than others. Especially if it was a vigorous cleaning,” she threw him a bone in hopes he would bite it. 

He did, replying with a sly smile,

“Perhaps I went a little rough with her. Think you can take a look?”

He licked his lips, watching as the flush tinted her neck and cheeks, hungry for her attention. She watched him shift his weight, rocking forward towards the bench, flexing his hips. Obviously, she was getting to him. She turned up the heat, pushing her luck,

“Rough is just fine, John, but with the size of the bolt head you’ve got here, you just need to make sure she’s slick enough to take it.”

She smiled sweetly, taking the rifle from him and laying it across the bench. Now that she had turned her attention to the gun, she could only watch him from the corner of her eye. But, she knew she had landed a punch when he had to turn his head away from her and pull at the inside leg of his pants, adjusting. 

Then, as she took apart the barrel from the bolt and its lever, she realized he had been lying to her. He had replaced the trigger assembly before the bolt, effectively causing the problem he was asking her to solve. Price knew this gun better than the back of his own hand, and he had come down to her office with this game, hoping to score. 

Her heart raced when she discovered the error, and she tried her best to maintain a straight face, not wanting him to realize she’d caught him yet. She still wanted to play. 

She rebuilt the weapon, glossing over the false mistake, and pulled the bolt back flush. 

“There,” she sighed, “good as new.”

The ball was clearly in his court and she waited to see what he would do. His voice had dropped into a deep, threatening register, and he was leaning so far over the workbench that she could see his pupils dilate, pushing back the bright blue and revealing the blackness behind it,

“What was the problem, Smithy?”

He began to stalk her around the edge of the table, taking impossibly slow steps toward her side of the bench, eyes fixed on her mouth. She saw his chest rising and falling faster and stronger, lifting his protective vest and causing the lingering smoke between his lips to billow chaotically around his dark beard. She held her ground, turning her body toward his as he walked,

“You made a rookie mistake, Captain Price. One that you’re not capable of making...”

His eyes sparked to life, focusing on hers now, and he knew that he’d been discovered. She continued to dismantle his farce,

“…and I wonder how it can be possible…”

Price rounded the first corner of the table, hanging on her every word. He took his cigar and pulled a long drag.

“...that such an experienced…”

Another step. The leather of his boot creaked as he pressed it down.

“...intelligent…”

Another step. She could smell his cologne now. Vetiver. Musk.

“...diligent soldier…”

He crossed the second corner, letting the smoke fall out of his mouth, pouring like water down his chin and tangling in his beard, holding his breath to let her view the effect. His teeth were clenched together behind his full mouth, and he began to smile in a sinister, pained way. She went on, quieter, her voice betraying her nerves,

“...would somehow forget how to put his own gun back together.”

Price’s cigar had come to an end, and he crushed it out under his boot as he stood in front of her, too close for propriety, just close enough to smell her coconut shampoo. He hummed, playing along, falsifying a sense of wonder and mystery in his tone.

“That is quite the mystery, innit? Must’ve been distracted by…” Price brought his hand up to touch the tip of his gunsmith’s long braid as it lay draped over her shoulder, laying on her breast, “…something important.”

“John,” she whispered, leaning toward him instinctively.

In the half-second between her speaking his name and the silence that came after, he struck like a snake, wrapping the rest of her braid around his fist like a rope, yanking her head back and pulling her to his body, letting their gear and clothes rustle between them, not caring where the vests and belts and buckles twisted and pinched, letting the tension linger. His free hand grabbed her jaw and neck in his wide, open palm, fingers pressing into her skin, warm and callused. 

His voice was so strained and full of his want that it seemed like a growl, rambling in a rushed, fervent monologue,

“You’ve been teasing me again, Smithy. Ever since we got back from that damn operation. You’ve been coming to the gym at night, when I lift, and you wear those fucking shorts and you show off that thick arse, bending over in front of the racks, pulling them up higher so I can how see your wet cunt is soaking right through them,” his hand yanked her head back, making her gasp. He loved that noise,

“Delicious. Your pretty little cunt, ready to eat. Right within my reach. A whole gym, empty, and you pick that spot every damn time. Moving past me in the lockers, letting me smell you, and now I want a taste.” 

She felt the stinging tightness of her scalp as he tugged on her braid, locking her body in place against his, controlling her head, moving it toward his face. He grimaced like he was in agony even though she was the one under his fist. His touch was such a relief. She’d been torturing him for weeks, and she surrendered to him, pliant to his whims, hoping he understood that her lack of resistance was essentially her begging him to forgive her for leaving him starving.

“Alright,” she smiled, still at his mercy, “If you want a taste, you can have one.” She watched as his eyes grew wide with anticipation as she unbuttoned her pants and tugged down the zipper. She bit her lip and shrugged, “On your knees, soldier.”

CIA Agent Nathanial Ford

Agent Nathanial Ford, a master of disguise at the CIA, sat at his meticulously organized workbench, surrounded by an array of tools and materials: silicone molds, fine human hair, a palette of skin tone pigments, and dental caps. His latest mission required him to infiltrate a high-stakes criminal syndicate in Moscow, Russia—a role that demanded not just linguistic fluency but an entire physical transformation to match.

The assignment was to pose as Dimitri Ivanov, a mid-level operator within the syndicate known for his dealings in illicit arms. Nathanial's task was to gather intelligence on the syndicate's connections with corrupt government officials. To become Dimitri, Nathanial would need to master not just the Russian language, but also the specific Moscow dialect, characterized by its sharp intonations and swift, clipping pace.

First, he focused on the facial hair. Years ago, Nathanial had undergone a beard transplant to enhance his ability to grow thick, authentic facial hair. For this role, he needed Dimitri’s signature look: a dense, well-groomed beard that was slightly graying at the edges. He began with a testosterone regimen weeks prior, ensuring his natural beard matched the density and style needed, then dyed it to achieve the perfect salt-and-pepper effect.

To achieve Dimitri’s receding hairline, Nathanial underwent a temporary hairline modification using a technique involving electrical follicle manipulation. This non-invasive procedure adjusted the growth patterns of his hair to mimic a receding hairline, creating a natural appearance without the need for prosthetics like a bald cap. He carefully blended his natural hair with additional strands that matched the texture and color of Dimitri’s hair, ensuring a seamless appearance.

Next, he prepared the ear and teeth prosthetics. Dimitri had distinctly large, lobed ears—a feature that could draw attention if not replicated accurately. Using silicone molds, Nathanial crafted oversized ear prosthetics that attached with special adhesive strong enough to integrate with his skin for extended periods. The teeth were another critical aspect; Dimitri had a noticeable gold cap on one of his upper molars. Nathanial created a set of dental caps, including the gold one, which could be worn comfortably for days and would withstand detailed scrutiny.

Adjusting his height was the next step. Nathanial was naturally 5'10", but Dimitri was known to be a slightly imposing 6'1". Using specially crafted shoe lifts that fit inside his boots, Nathanial managed an additional three inches without compromising his ability to walk naturally. This adjustment required Nathanial to practice Dimitri’s walk, which was a confident, slightly lumbering gait that suggested years of physical labor.

Once the prosthetics were ready, Nathanial applied them himself and tested them extensively to ensure they remained securely attached to his body. Sometimes, the prosthetics were worn for so long that his skin began to integrate with them, a testament to their durability and his commitment to the role.

The final touches involved accessories that would round out Dimitri’s persona: a vintage Soviet watch, a worn leather wallet containing family photos and membership cards to various local establishments, and a set of keys to a nondescript, slightly rusty Volga sedan.

As Nathanial reviewed his transformation in the mirror, fully morphed into Dimitri Ivanov, he practiced his dialect again, ensuring every inflection and nuance was just right. The reflection showed not a CIA agent, but a Moscow native, ready to delve deep into the dangerous underbelly of Russia's criminal world. His preparation complete, Nathanial was ready to step into a life that was not his own, armed with nothing but his wits and his impeccable disguise

The Evolution of Workbenches: From Simple Tables to High-Tech Workstations

Workbenches have been the backbone of countless workshops and labs for centuries, serving as the primary surface where ideas are transformed into tangible creations. While the basic concept of a sturdy table hasn't changed, the evolution of workbenches reflects the advancements in technology, industry demands, and the need for increased efficiency and safety in the workplace.

The Humble Beginnings

In the early days, workbenches were simple, sturdy wooden tables, designed to withstand the rigours of manual labour. These early benches were often built by the craftsmen themselves, tailored to their specific needs. Whether it was a carpenter’s bench with a vice and a few drawers for tools or a blacksmith’s anvil table, these workbenches were as much a tool as the hammer or saw used on them.

The Rise of Specialisation

As industries grew more specialised, so did the workbenches. The Industrial Revolution brought about the need for more sophisticated designs. Metalworking benches began to feature reinforced tops and integrated storage for heavy tools, while woodworking benches evolved to include clamping systems and specialised surfaces for planing and sawing.

The advent of electricity also had a significant impact, with workbenches increasingly being fitted with integrated lighting, power outlets, and even built-in tool stands. These innovations made it easier for workers to perform detailed tasks and kept essential tools within arm’s reach.

The Modern Workbench: High-Tech and Highly Functional

Today’s workbenches are a far cry from their predecessors. In professional settings, especially in electronics and manufacturing industries, workbenches have become highly specialised, designed to meet the demands of modern workflows.

One of the most significant advancements has been the introduction of ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) ready workbenches. With the rise of delicate electronic components that are susceptible to static damage, these benches feature static-dissipative surfaces and grounding systems to protect sensitive equipment. Adjustable height workbenches have also gained popularity, promoting ergonomics by allowing workers to set the bench to a comfortable level, whether they’re standing or sitting.

Customisation has become another key feature. Modern workbenches can be outfitted with modular storage, adjustable shelving, integrated lighting, and even computer mounts, making them versatile and adaptable to any task. Whether it’s a lab technician assembling circuit boards or a craftsman handcrafting furniture, there’s a workbench designed to fit the specific needs of the job.

Looking to the Future

As industries continue to evolve, so too will the workbenches that support them. The future might see workbenches equipped with smart technology, incorporating sensors and IoT connectivity to monitor workspace conditions or provide real-time data to enhance productivity and safety. Sustainability could also drive innovation, with eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient designs becoming more prevalent.

Conclusion

The workbench has come a long way from its humble beginnings as a simple wooden table. Today’s high-tech workstations are designed to enhance efficiency, safety, and comfort, reflecting the ever-changing needs of modern professionals. As technology continues to advance, it’s exciting to imagine what the next evolution of the workbench will bring to workshops and labs around the world.

[A] the discovery (rouge)

I got the call last night, a sting mission to Dr. Eggman's base. They had a reliable tip that the Ultimate Lifeform was still alive. I had to take it.

Eggman security is trivially easy. Navigating it is more difficult. I had to crawl on the ceiling through a maze so dense, that I thought the headrush would have gotten me. But finally, I found what GUN had been looking for.

Shadow.

He was unassumingly lying on a workbench. Strange to see him older, as if he had aged with the rest of us. There was a shininess to his skin, and certain articulate points to where his joints would be that suggested that this wasn't his original body. No, how could it be? He fell from space five years ago, after saving the world from certain doom--there's no way he could have survived, not as he was.

"What are you doing here?"

Eggman's voice jumps me out of my skin, and I jump enough to skim my fingers over Shadow's arm. It's cold. Chills run down my spine.

Eggman is in casual sleeping clothes, something that is strangely humanizing and unsettling. He adjusts his glasses and sneers at me. "Well? Don't make me sound the alarm."

"He...did you...is he...?" is all I can manage to say, unable to take my eyes off this ghost on a mechanic's table.

Eggman sighs. "Not for any lack of trying," he says, strolling over with his hands behind his back. "I've been working on this for about four years. Unfortunately, I've hit a road block and had to move on to other things."

"What kind of road block?" I ask.

"Like you could possibly understand!" he replies haughtily, but his expression grows tired, and he shakes his head. "No...no. Not the time for this."

He walks over to an object about my height covered with a sheet. He unveils it to reveal a stasis tube, liquid fuchsia red. Inside is a twisted creature, covered in black and red scales. Its body is not complete, and is patched with brown skin. One arm is intact, but the other is a half-grown tentacle, fingers hardly developed. Its face is completely scarred over, skull exposed to reveal part of its brain. I inhale sharply, dizzy.

"That," he says, "is what is left of the Ultimate Lifeform. I pulled everything I could from the ARK to try and piece together how my grandfather created him. It turns out he made a deal with an alien life form known as the Black Arms."

"Unbelievable," I say, breathless.

"When my robots found him, he was already starting to....regenerate." he says. His voice is distant, haunted. "He has been slowly progressing, but he would not survive outside of the stasis tube. His heartbeat is weak, and can hardly breathe on his own."

"That's enough," I interrupt, covering my face. Tears were prickling at the corners of my eyes, and it took all I had to hold them back. "An alien..."

His eyebrows furrow. "It's the only reason he even survived. But, without intervention..." Eggman shakes his head, sober as death. "He had finally figured out his purpose. He was just a boy. I didn't--couldn't leave him like that. So, I've been working on a reconstruction solution."

He paces back to the workbench around Shadow. "Making a new chassis was easy, and with some research I could wire everything up relatively the same. But, I'm not a geneticist. That's harder. His brain is...mostly intact, and so is his spinal cord. With that network, it could be possible to integrate him to his new body. I could develop the software...but for it to be him, it would need to interface with his mind, with the hopes that his memories are still stored. There's so little we know about the brain, even at the top level, and I..."

He trails off. Never had I ever seen him in this state. It makes me wonder if in some forgotten past, he was a father to ill-fated children. Or, maybe there's some good and kindness in all of us, even the megalomaniacs.

There is nothing for me to say to it, so I only say what I am here for. "GUN received a tip about...this," I manage. "They want to retrieve him."

"For what purpose?" Eggman snaps. "What, to build a weapon out of him? To further indite my grandfather? Experiment on complex A.I.? Or..."

He pauses in frustration, pacing around the workbench.

"They could finish building him," I suggest quietly. "They've been doing extensive Chaos energy research with their drives. Not to mention they have the manpower to work on complex software."

"Of course they do, they're the government," he grumbles. "Who's to say they won't destroy my operations here?"

"If that was the case, why did they send a sting, like me?" I retort. "Someone who has history, with both you and him?"

He stares down at Shadow, still and lifeless. "Do you think they could?" he whispers. "Could they finish what I started?"

I nod slowly. "I don't think they would want him if they couldn't." I look directly at the doctor. "And I wouldn't be here if there weren't a chance."

Eggman sighs deeply. "If I just wanted a replica, I would have just made that. That's child's play," he mutters.

I don't think he's talking to me. I vaguely recall seeing humanoid robots deeper inside the base. The paneling and styling were marks of their robotics, but especially comparing them to Shadow on the table, they were quite convincing. If I'm not escorted out, perhaps I will look for myself. But again, it's not about making a replica, is it?

This is technological necromancy.

Eggman takes off his glasses, eyes strangely beady, especially dwarfed by his mustache, and gives me a stern look. "You can tell GUN that he's here. And they can take him," he says. "No more than five people. They need to find a way to integrate his organics. They will not take down the facility. No weapons. You will be here to guide and observe. And I want to see him when he is complete."

"Or else?"

"Or else you'll all be turned into scrap." He folds his arms. "And it had better be him. Better dead than a facsimile."

I nod, swallowing hard. I couldn't make that choice, but there's a part of me that's comforted that someone could.

Determine the Capacity of Your Work Benches

Light Trade Use: For lighter projects, benches with a capacity of up to 250kg UDL are sufficient. Experts advises, "Matching the work bench capacity to your load requirements is important. Overloading can lead to premature wear and safety issues."

Heavy-Duty Use: For more demanding tasks, opt for benches with capacities of 1500kg UDL or higher. Assess the weight of the items you'll be handling to ensure the bench can support them adequately.

Consider the Dimensions of Your Work Benches

Workspace Measurements: Measure your available space to determine the maximum size of work benches you can accommodate. Experts suggests, "Carefully measure your space and consider your movement around it. A strategically placed workbench can enhance workflow, whereas a poorly placed one can cause frustration."

Versatility: If space is limited, consider height-adjustable or mobile work benches that can be moved or adjusted as needed. Mobile work benches can be particularly advantageous in dynamic workspaces.

Evaluate Additional Features and Accessories

Storage Solutions: Integrated drawers, shelves, and tool racks help keep your workspace organized. Daniel Bird notes, "Effective storage solutions can drastically reduce the time spent searching for tools, enhancing your work process."

Customizable Options: Look for work benches that offer modular add-ons to tailor the bench to your needs, such as lighting and specialized work surfaces.
