[Video - 4] [Public] [Unknown Feed]
[There is a jostle on the feed, and the camera turned on. A hand is in front of it, clearly pulling up a glass of water. The hand moves away, and Howard swings into view. He's without his tie, even without his dress shirt, just wearing a wife-beater and his suspenders are hanging loose. Sweat is beading his forehead, his face, his neck and his broad shoulders. He lifts his hand, wiping off his forehead and settling his glare goggles back on his head as he returns back to a long table.]
[There are a number of instruments on it - tools and wires - along with pipes. Howard picks up a large canister, inscribed with what look like runes, eying the work on it, before putting down and grabbing his leather gloves. He picked up a wrench, and an adjacent tubing, attaching it to the canister tightly, then sliding a cover over it. There is a faint sssss noise of sealing.]
[Muttering] All right ... let's give this a shot, shall we?
[He turns the cannister - there are leather straps which he slides over and fastens into place - so it fits over his shoulders. The tubing slides along his right arm, and at the end there is something that looks like a trigger mechanism with a wide nozzle.]
He steps back away from the worktable, standing between it and the desk, and aims the nozzle. A pause, and he slides the glasses on over his eyes. He pumps the trigger and -- the camera flickers out.]
[There's a slight reverberation, to anyone who is on the engineering floor.]
[The camera feed flickers on again, with Howard staring off-screen, his eyebrows up near his hairline.] ... all right, first off, it works. Second of, some of these walls are not made of the same sturdy material as the rest of the station and three - Komui? KO-MUI? Are you all right? Did you SEE that? It cut right through the wall like a knife through butter!
[He heads off-screen, towards the wall, calling out Komui's name. The camera remains on, catching falling papers, some that are burning up as they float through the air.]
