Invented by a member of the Sons of Ether, the MPG (multi-purpose goo) dispenser is about the size of a bread box, and fits into a fairly large knapsack. The MPG dispenser takes in stuff (just about anything), and then submits it to destablizing electromagnetic radiation and cosmic rays and stuff, causing it to break down a brown mush. The user then adjusts the setting to whatever generic goo he wants, and it then filters it and distills it (about five mins), and the goo is emitted by a stubby tube at the bottom. The limitations assumed by the goo is that it can't be solid (at least, not initially), and must be brown. Various settings could be: Nutritious, adhesive, lubricant, acidic, etc.
