[As the feed clicks on, Renton can be seen with a screwdriver in hand, fiddling with what appears to be a mechanical duck-though for the more perceptive, he doesn't seem to be entirely focusing on his work, before he looks at the screen.]

Afternoon, I guess...? Hard to tell the time here though unless you check the clock. Anyway...

[Fiddle fiddle

[... of course Motochika notices. He's a mechanic himself, but he also doesn't think it's right to push Renton back into the same depression he's trying to deny.]

Gets like that sometimes. I wonder what my crew would be doin' if they were here.

But heh. They'd probably be offerin' to teach you a thing or two about buildin' things, Renton. What you got there looks pretty harmless. 

[heroistics]

[A frown. His skills as a mechanic are one of the few things he's proud of, okay.]

It's not like this is the best I can do. It was just for fun.

[treasurehunted]

Yeah? Then what is the best you can do?

[heroistics]

Well, I've never really had the chance to try, but I've done repair work on LFOs before, at least.

[A pause]

... Though I guess you wouldn't know what those are.

[treasurehunted]

Nope. Enlighten me. Other-world mechanics are always pretty interesting.

[heroistics]

They're... like these large vehicles that you pilot! Not completely mechanical, though-just their armour and control system and stuff. The archetype-that is, the structure that everything's built around-is excavated from mines.

[... Bad memory of the only mine he's visited, but. He continues.]

Anyway, they're mainly used for transportation and combat.

[treasurehunted]

Ahhh, now you're talkin'! Hah. Didn't know you had an interest in those kinda things. Consider me impressed.

[heroistics]

[A grin]

Heh, Aniki-don't you know you're talking to one of the top pilots around?

[treasurehunted]

[then he starts laughing]

Really! Well, I'm surprised. Exactly what is it that you pilot, kid?

[heroistics]

Is it really that surprising...? The Nirvash. It's the first LFO ever discovered and just about the best there is. Eureka and I...

[...]

Eureka and I pilot it together.

[treasurehunted]

[whoops, let's get back to distracting-]

LFO?

[heroistics]

Yeah-what I was talking about before.
