Test Drive [quite open]

Jun 05, 2010 23:50

Once things had settled down somewhat from the pod pop, once she had been assigned to a cabin and once she'd had a few days to relax and shove all her sudden anxieties about the world ending to somewhere else in the back of her mind, Sylia took her hardsuit for a test drive around the many vast hallways of the ship. The digital readouts had one ( Read more... )

Maintaining a Mobile Suit is so tough. Especially when you don't know where the tools are. Wanting to fix that bit, Lowe made his way towards engineering. Or where he HOPED engineering was.

"God, this ship is freakin' huge!" Lowe complained.

[And there's no real usable map here.] 8 chimed in.

"We need to fix that..." Lowe said. "...one day." Reaching one of the rooms, he rapped on the door before entering. "Yo! Don't mind me! Need to grab some tools!" Before he could start looking, he noticed both Sylia and the Hardsuit on the table.

It was kinda hard to tell if he was gazing at the cyan-haired woman before him or the female-shaped piece of hardware she was working on.

Sylia set down the futuristic equivalent of what she was using as a socket wrench, then looked over her shoulder at the young man and smiled. Not at all upset by the staring of whichever sort. "Help yourself. I'm told they're the department's tools, so as long as you return them then nobody minds."

She punctuated it with a little sigh. "If you can tell what tools they are in the first place, anyway."

Lowe blinked a few times as he tried to pull himself away from the staring. "Um, right, right...!" he said, recovering. "Thanks!" Before he could mess with the tools, he couldn't help but move towards the two, now staring more at the suit.

"What is this? I've never seen something like this before..." he said, obviously in awe.

"It's called a hardsuit," Sylia explained, running her hand over the chestpiece fondly. "It's something like a suit of armor, as it appears. Perhaps a little more advanced than what a medieval knight would wear."

She reached for the socket wrench again and leaned over the shoulder joint, carefully tightening. "I took it for a test run to make sure it would still work on this ridiculous ship. Unfortunately, I'm not used to doing the maintenance myself."

Deunan was in search of a screwdriver small enough to adjust the sights on a pistol, since her kit was in her landmate and certain unreasonable computers wouldn't let her have nine-foot power armor aboard ship. One wouldn't have thought finding a screwdriver would be a problem, but most of the tools seemed to be nuclear or laser or sonic or quantum or whatever, and she really just wanted something that was a notched piece of steel with a grip.

Oh, hey. A woman in a datasuit, doing some kind of repairs on a set of power armor. It looked beefier than her own Garthim, but a lot lighter than a landmate.

"Hi," Deunan said.

"Hello," Sylia said pleasantly over her shoulder. She stopped her work and turned around to smile at the new arrival. "Are you one of the engineers here? I haven't actually seen anyone from the department yet."

"No, I'm just looking for a screwdriver. My stuff's locked up in Special Weapons." Deunan rolled her eyes.

"Ah. Well, good luck finding anything that looks like one," she replied a bit teasingly. "I don't recognize any of these tools and I'm probably using most of them wrong. But you have to take what you can get, I suppose."
