Gabelli brought with him his special lathe and tools for working exotic alloys.   He knew how Hornk was never satisfied with what was state of the art, but rather preferred newer metals for each project, thinking his way was always better.  Hornk pulled him aside, away from the others and began discussing ideas for a brand new type of engine he had in mind, but had never tried out before.  "I betcha we kin build sumthin' that'd make that ol' piece of junk over there fly like the wind, he confided in Gabelli.  Don't say nuthin' to them, cause they's just think they're gettin' a regular motor, but I got sumthin' better in mind." and Hornk gave a sly wink that squished.

The two of them then proceeded to the foundry where they mixed up barrels of ore and other secret compounds, to create a super tough alloy that could hold up to the stresses output by the special engine to be built.
