From the back of the shop he heard the knock on the door and almost fell over, caught off guard as he was trying to open a large wooden box, containing the main circuit of his current prototype. He paused for a moment, adjusting his classes, and tried to remember who it was exactly that was coming this afternoon. The girl! With the grenade launcher! Lloyd smirked, his curiosity rising. He was very interested to see what sort of girl came to have massive and destructive weapon attached her arm.

He shut the door to the workshop behind him as he left (he didn't want people prying into his research) and pulled open the door to the main shop, staring down at the small girl standing outside with a roll of blueprints in her hand.

"Ah, so you're here!" he said, smiling slightly and raising an eyebrow as he stepped aside to let her enter. "Well, come in, unless you'd prefer to chat on the doorstep."

Aigis heard noises coming from inside the shop and smiled a little. The sounds of work apparently being done reassured her. It said that the man here really did do mechanical work.

Once the door opened, she stepped inside. With no uniform on to cover her shoulder and hip joints, she was obviously not human. Aigis set the blueprints down on the closest table that she could see. "They're written in English and Japanese. If you need me to translate anything, let me know."

He bent over the plans, studying them quickly. The design seemed fairly straightforward, and despite the mix of languages he could clearly see the dimensions, what sort of parts he was going to need to order. Lloyd decided to overlook the girl's strange appearance for now, though he was desperate to ask what she was--cyborg? He wasn't certain.

"Well...I'll need to order some parts I don't typically carry in stock," he said to himself. "And I think I have a good idea of what this is driving at...if you can translate it, that'll just make this go so much faster..." He paused for a moment, glancing up at her. "Ah, how quickly are you looking to get this done? It'll take me at least three days to get the more specialized parts, even if I have them shipped by express mail."

She would have no problem explaining what she was, but Aigis had the feeling that saying it to a man like this would make him very curious about how her parts and programming worked. As she watched him look over the blueprints, she tightened one of her fingertips.

After his request to translate the rest, Aigis grabbed a pencil and started to write them in. "I'm sure you have other projects as well and I hope the city won't destroy itself in three days. Finishing it in a week or shortly longer seems reasonable. I'll use my machine gun until then if I'm called out to a scene."
