[ You can hear her tinkering around with something metal. Something heavy will clunk down once in a while, or you'll hear the grating of steel on steel. The voice, when it comes, is a little bitchy and very English:Here's how it fucking is. This place has proper flushing toilets, ATM machines, taxis, petrol, and electric lights -- and it still

[For now, Booga ignored all actual words, and paid more attention to the sounds]

How's it going there, K.K?

[steamologist]

[ That's the important shit anyway, that's what K.K.'d probably think. ]

I barely remember how to work with proper fucking parts.

[boogaroos]

[He laughs] I hear that, usually built with the shitty and embellish with the actual proper stuff. Once you repair an engine with a pair of knickers, you forget the importance of electrical tape or solder.

Sounded like you almost had it though.

[steamologist]

You repaired an engine with a pair of knickers? Piss off.

[ She makes a noise that's part scoff, part laugh. ]

[bendersgotback]

Whole body but especially my ass. Need to keep it shiny.

[pacifisted]

Psychic?

[steamologist]

That's what you lot call the package, isn't it? The mind-reading, the moving shit around with my mind and all.

[pacifisted]

Pretty sure.

How does it work? The mind-reading. What can you do?

[steamologist]

[notquiteidol]

Depends on what you call a proper drink.

[steamologist]

I'm about to build a bloody chicken pen. Something strong.

[Video] Someone said mechanic and that's like SCIENCE.

Before I was able to set up my shop, I made quite a bit of money rebuilding cars in the junkyards. I could introduce you to the right owners, if you like.

[steamologist]

What's the catch, then?

[theheterodyne]

[Oh crap jaded people are hard to deal with not that she's jaded or anything but uh, way too nice for her own good sometimes.]

I'd like to see your work sometime. I'm an inventor, myself.

Don't have much to show you right about now. Not unless you like steam engines.
