Blinded me with science~

Godot's still wandering about the Nexus, although slightly more aimlessly than before. There's a few times he comes rather close to walking into something before he runs into a desk. A desk is a good place to stop

It's been a while since Suzie's been in the Nexus, and it seems like she's here at just the right time! She hasn't had anything proper to tinker with in ages. "I'm a fair hand at mechanics." Pfft, she'd better be, that's why she was the mechanic and engineer during her Torchwood years. Mmmm, alien tech~ "And as for losses, I think I'll take a complicated subject and smush it into one simple phrase: everything. But I've since gained some of that everything back."

But eh. Stories and memories that belong in the past. Let her at some tech! "Anyway, were you just curious, or do you have something I can look at?"

She sounds interested, so he reaches up and takes the visor off; his eyes are floating and drifting, looking but not focused. "This visor gives me a limited form of vision; someone knocked it off in a moment of surprise and has since been malfunctioning."

"Ouch, nasty, that. But it shouldn't be too hard to fix if all you got was a bump and a skid." She takes the visor eagerly, immediately producing from somewhere in her large handbag a small flashlight and a screwdriver (decidedly not sonic). A woman's gotta be prepared.

She lets out a short whistle. "This is a fine piece of work. Never seen anything quite like it." Fiddling. Fiddling. Oh, is that all? "I mean, I've seen visors that improve vision, yeah, but nothing like this. It's a bit menacing looking, really." Oh, if she could take it back to the Hub and dismantle it and remantle it and make it better faster stronger...

Normally she might not be so chatty while she's tinkering with tech, but she's a bit disappointed that all that's happened are a few loose bits easily retightened in the proper places. "Were you born blind, or did something happen?" She laughs, just a bit of a snicker. "Or should I just keep my nose out of the business of it all?"

"Menacing, eh? It's my only option, so I'll take what I can get."

The smile was wiped off his face when she asked about his blindness. "An accident six years ago cost me my eyes." And judging from his tone, he wasn't too willing to talk more on the subject.

She nods--but then realizes whoops that's stupid. "It's all right, don't say anymore if you'd rather not. I was only making conversation. Curiosity and all that."

She gives the visor another once over, then polishes it off best she can before handing it back. "Nothing damaged beyond a bit of repair. A few nuts and bolts loose, nothing drastic. You should be seeing right again now."

He takes the visor and puts it on with his eyes closed, opening them to the world of vision he was temporarily denied of. He slowly turned his head side to side before tapping the right side twice. "Everything appears to be in good order. Thank you, miss."
