Daitetsu's poor battleship ;-;

[haganeojiisan]

Setsuna F. Seiei!
Julius Alexander!
Zoe Kerison!
L’Angley Fortier!
Harry Ord!
Rei Ayanami!

All of you are to report to the Hagane's maintenence dock at 0600 tomorrow. Bring your repair tools and clothes.

There's a reason we protect our mothership during battle. Without it, our mobile suits would be unable to cross long areas, refuel and resupply,

*Julius is already working on the Hagane when Daitetsu shows up. He had been working on it since he got the message. He definitely looks tired like he has been working all night.*

Daitetsu, I think you are being unreasonable here. I did try to help you out but there is only so much I could do against four mecha by myself. Also, that "team dance attack" was effective at getting Ali Al Sanchez to retreat. I don't really know what to say about the others? But you didn't exactly coordinate us out there either.

*After he says this he returns to work. At least until he can't really work anymore at which point he slumps over to the corner of the room and falls asleep. Assuming he doesn't just pass out where he stands? Which is also possible. If Daitetsu talks to him? He responds but he doesn't stop working unless asked to.*

Unfortunately, we don't have our usual repair crews to help out. I'm not going to push you to work through the night, but I do expect you to help as much as you can.

I suppose you're right, you're no Kyouske Nanbu or Kira Yamato. I'll try to assign you to easier enemies next time.

I appreciate that you're so willing to work, but you're not as productive if you havn't gotten any sleep. Take a break, get some rest, and get back here to help afterwards.

[driftingpersona]

I'll be fine, I work all night all the time.

*Julius continues to work. It's not hard work particularly for a guy who built a mobile suit essentially completely by himself.*

Hell, I was just staying by the Hagane to take advantage of the covering fire your guns were providing. Even with defense bits Cherudim isn't as sturdy as the other Gundams.

[haganeojiisan]

Would you like to offer your help with the repairs, then?

[notjustlockonm2]

Hurk!

I'm not exactly trained in battleship repairs, and I have to help with the routine maintenance on Cherudim first, but if you think that I would actually be any use, I could offer some help.

[haganeojiisan]

We're a bit short on mechanics right now, and I'm sure the others would enjoy having you assist them.

If you get a chance, any help would be appreciated.

*Not exactly pleased with her own performance, Rei obliges without a word of protest, fully intending to stay on the job without stopping until it's done.*

[haganeojiisan]

(Gendo Hikari, what did you do to this one...)

[Rei can feel Daitetsu's eyes on her back every now and then, but he makes no effort to talk to her directly.]

Typo, or IC goof?

[zomg_teh_rei]

*While in fairly good shape for her apparent age, Rei is unaccustomed to sustained physical labor, as is readily apparent within a few hours. Her "strategy" for dealing with fatigue is the same one she uses for pain: keep going until she can't.*

That'd be a typo...;-;

[haganeojiisan]

[Your fatigue is noted, and the grizzled old captain approaches you.]

If you need a break, please, take one.

Stupid mission.

*clank*

Stupid Ali.

*clank*

Stupid beach and stupid enemies and stupid everything.

*clank, clank, clank*

I can't believe I'm actually doing this, tch. Doesn't this ship have its OWN designated crew for repairs? Sumeragi would never assign me such grunt work.

-Setsuna will continue to complain and just do a totally-not-on-purpose very good job in general. At some point he will also fall off the ladder and swear like nobody's probably ever heard him before as he crashes right onto his face. Feel free to whip 'im into shape, Daitetsu. Or anyone else, he's being a complete priss and definitely deserves it.-

You know, people's lives depend on those repairs. If you're going to do those repairs, do them right.

[gundam_savior]

This isn't exactly my area of expertise. We already have mechanics. If I'm going to be stuck here, that bonehead Tasuku should be, too. What a joke.

[notjustlockonm2]

It's not mine either, but all we're doing is attaching armor plating. Anyone could do this job.
