[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

...W-What the hell was that?

[oneslickedison]

[There's a pause, and then Howard comes running back into view.]

... Is this thing on?

[Another pause.]

Who the hell are you?

[rizomataformula]

Don't change the subject!

From what I could tell that looks like something you probably engineered by yourself, using the station resources...

What is it you're trying to do?

[oneslickedison]

I'm not changing the subject! I'm asking who the hell you are! That's a valid question, all thing considered!

[He scowls at her -- before replying dryly.]

I'm making pancakes, doll.

[There's a very ruffled Companion with a couple bots peeking out of the equipment storage area.]

Howard? Komui? What was that? Is everyone okay?

[In person]

[oneslickedison]

[Howard is staring at the hole in the wall, before he leans down a little to look through it, and there he sees Inara popping out her head, with the bots.]

[His smile is like a million watt bulb.] Better than okay! That blast was phenomenal!

Re: [In person]

[notanambassador]

That was intentional?

[She disapproves, as do the bots gathered around her.]

Re: [In person]

[oneslickedison]

[Yeah, he's catching onto that disapproval.]

Well ... not ... entirely, no. The hole wasn't intentional. The power output was.

[He clears his throat and pulls his head back onto his side. Quickly.]

[Jenny's smirking when the video turns on. She's been working on the star charts. Her hair's pulled back and there's a pencil tucked behind her ear. There's a black smudge on her cheek.]

Are you having fun down there Howard?

Re: [Video]

[oneslickedison]

[Howard comes running back to the camera, his dark eyes shining.] This thing is on! Did you see that? My God, the voltage I can get out of this thing!

Re: [Video]

[shockinglyold]

[The dirty comments she could reply back with all run through her mind at once. She decides not to turn this into innuendo though.]

Not entirely. Electricity plays havoc with video. I assume your weapons work is going well then?

Re: [Video]

[oneslickedison]

Yes, thanks to you and Harry. I just didn't think the power output would be that high -- but with the sealing of the particular metal and the conductivity of everything else...

[He whistles appreciatively as he adjusts the nozzle to off.] Yeah. I should make us about a dozen or more of these little babies.

[onteamdyson]

The hell was THAT?! Are you blowing shit up? I want in!

[oneslickedison]

[Howard pops back into view, before flashing the most wonderfully wicked smile at Kenzi, before mockingly saying,]

Hell no I am not blowing anything up - just punching holes through walls! Minor structural damage, at best. The robots are already looking into it. And you can come if you've got your experimental face on.

[onteamdyson]

My experimental face is also my let's wreck stuff face! Is that going to be a problem, Mr. Stark?

[oneslickedison]

That is not, as long as you don't mind wearing protective goggles over it, Miss Kenzi. If you would be so kind as to meet me on the Engineering floor?

Looks fun. What the hell is it?

[oneslickedison]

Shika?

[Howard runs back to the camera again, before he grins.] It's the upgrade on my lightening gun. I wanted something with more ... staying power.
