Fiddling with machinery?

[Those who visit the hangar may notice a strange pile of scrapped parts building up on the floor by the Straybird's station. Some of these parts have been assembled to form a chair of sorts, but it looks far from complete

Hey, what's going on here?

[Working on anything major in the hangars won't escape Lowe's attention.]

Pet project of yours?

[pheasantshanker]

You could say that...

Those simulators we used back in that base...I'm trying to replicate them.

[space_mcgyver]

I'd use a cockpit block from one of the units that's doing nothing and collecting dust. 'Course, that's just the interface and we still need a simulation unit... I'm not much of a programmer but maybe 8 can help?

[pheasantshanker]

Ripping out a cockpit block could be far too costly given our situation...those units may still be needed as substitutes.

[A nod.] ...I'll take any help I can get. Right now, I'm trying my best to recall the designs of my grandfather's simulator pods.

It's not built yet, but what I've gathered for the simulation unit is over there...
