[Gregory's been busy in the hangar, looking over designs for his AP Frame and also trying to bum as much scrap salvaged from the fights with TECZ machines as possible.  And for that matter he's also trying to get help from anyone who knows anything about building and maintenance

Hello! I heard someone calling for awesome engineers?

[reach_for_self]

Indeed I did!

I'm in need of some help due to the various failings of the Type-Y AXI. On ground it's a fearsome machine, but a number of corners were cut when making it and AXI suffers as a whole because of that.

[And at that he drags out some blueprints and points at a number of parts of the machine.]

As you can see, there's a number of places on the machine with small openings in the armor that expose its internal circuitry. If AXI were to step into a pool of water deeper than knee-high, things would not go well for it.

[space_mcgyver]

That thing's barely airtight to start with! Going out into space in it is like suicide!

But right, we're talking water here. There's a lot of work to be done here... no joke about cutting corners.

[reach_for_self]

Yes, functioning in space is another issue almost as serious as the one with water. Still, I believe I'll have at least a little forewarning before we go up into space.

My general plan is to use what we salvaged from the Chalice's fights with TECZ and use them to correct the AXI's design flaws. Think you're up for it?

[Resnick, who's been swearing at the mechanics and is barely tolerated by them, mainly because he's large and scary, looks over at Gregory.]

Back home we use harjel, which hardens on contact with water to prevent flooding of damaged sections. Do you have any similar kind of material?

[reach_for_self]

You used hairgel?!?

[an_alpha_wolf]

HarJel. [He snorts.] Although with some of the hair on board this ship you could be forgiven for that impression.

[reach_for_self]

Perhaps.

Unfortunately, this is not merely a few hairline fractures in parts of the armor. The holes in AXI's plating are too commonplace and too large, to the point that you could probably fit your hand through several.

[[MarKus is, for the purpose of trolling, just watching Gregory work on his own. Of course, he hasn't asked what was going on, just, watching what he's trying to do with the machine.]]

Yo. Makin any sense of my parent's work yet? [[Cuz they did that, yanno.]]

[reach_for_self]

Oh, I understand it... right now I'm more trying to do something about it.

AXI's a powerful AP Frame, but in its development a lot of things were disregarded. TECZ needed a high performance prototype to show what the craft was capable of in some situations, and as a result it's highly situational.

[2hell_weride]

Yeah, I remember. It was all fuckin push-push-push to get the display model before we got to working on the real deal with mine.

So, let's get this fucker up to par! I'm not gonna have a punk-ass piece of shit as a Secondary Rider!

First, we need to figure out what kinda finisher you're going for... [[YEAAAAAAhhhhh, MarKus totally has his priorities right...]]

[reach_for_self]

Secondary Rider?

It's a tad presumptuous to consider yourself some grand hero, isn't it?
