[ There's a Shion in the Docks district puttering about. Putter putter! Putter. ]

You'll have to forgive me if this question has been asked already - but with the exception of those already from my world, how many here have experience in engineering and maintenance of mobile suits, or mecha.

I've offered to help someone with the proper maintenance of theirs, but I'll need a team of two other people to support me with the system.

Well, one, actually. Allen, I'd like you to back me up.

[ A pause, and then. ]

KOS-MOS, Jr.? How are you two doing?

[ She already talked to Wilhelm recently so she doesn't include him, SO THERE. ]

I am unfortunately inexperienced in such matters. If there's anything I can get for you, however, I'd like to help.

[power_of_love]

Should I meet you in the hangar?

[tempus_fixit]

Someone call for some help fixing up robots?

[Action! ]

[betterwithglasses]

All right then, Asem.

I have no complaints. I've been keeping busy, and some friends of mine have shown up here. Although it would seem that I'm a bit behind chronologically, from the rest of them.

[Video-Action]

[betterwithglasses]

I look forward to it.

[ Smiling KOS-MOS is always a delight - even though it's strange to see, and she still has millions of questions, she isn't going to ask them all right now. She'll wait outside the hangar though - surely you won't keep her waiting long will you KOS-MOS? ]

[betterwithglasses]

Oh? That would be wonderful, in case one of us is unavailable - what's your name? I'll have to make arrangements to put an engineering team together at this rate.

[betterwithglasses]

Oh, of course. I'd be happy to help out with that. You haven't had any problems with Asher since you got here have you?

[betterwithglasses]

I appreciate the offer - I'll have to take you up on it. What's your name?

[Action! ]

[second_destiny]

...Oh. That's...gotta be awkward for all of you.

[He's got something of a knowing look on his face, as if he's in a similar situation.]

Anyway. Here, take a look at this.

[With that, he holds out the device in his hand. It's got some data on the screen.]

[Action]

[needtobecleaned]

[Of course she won't! She'll even be riding up on her Monocycle less than ten minutes later. It doesn't occur to her that Shion might not be aware that she even had the bike]

[betterwithglasses]

Well, I'm not going to look into Asem's system just yet - but I have been wanting to have a look at Dinah. Are you there now?

[betterwithglasses]

[ Shion grins at the enthusiasm. ]

Hello Lucca - I was hoping I would hear from you. I have a few people interested in helping out, but I'm thinking putting together a team for maintaining the mobile suits - assuming there isn't one already - wouldn't be a bad idea.

[ And hey, there could be more than one team, right? ]

[books_n_battle]

He's been moving a bit slowly. I think he just needs some basic repairs after the fights we were in, but I'm not sure about letting the people who already work here mess with him.

[power_of_love]

Not exactly, I'm looking around the Foundry district in general. But I can get there pretty quickly, and I'd be happy to help you get up to speed about Dinah.

[Action! ]

[betterwithglasses]

It is, a little.

[ But they wouldn't be keeping things from her - if it was that important! Of course she could just ask, but she keeps getting distracted. ]

Oh - what is it? [ She reaches out to take said device in order to give it a better look. ]

Is this related to your mobile suit?

[Action]

[betterwithglasses]

[ What's that noise? Shion ... is rather surprised (understatement) to see the monocycle. When the android drew up close to the hangar, Shion started over to her. ]

KOS-MOS, what is this --?

[Action! ]

[second_destiny]

That's the AGE Device -- the key of the AGE System. My mobile suit won't even start without it. That's what gathers all the combat data.

[betterwithglasses]

A simple tune up should do the trick - I definitely understand your unease about that. I would feel the same way if someone other than Allen or myself offered to do maintenance on KOS-MOS or something.

[betterwithglasses]

Okay, then I'll wait for you at the hangar. I'm almost there now.

[power_of_love]

Alright. I'll be there soon.

*And by 'soon', he apparently means about five minutes after he hangs up. Will she see him walking in, or will he have to find her?*

[books_n_battle]

Thanks. It was bad enough letting the Professor work on him, and he at least knows the technology. Sort of.

[Action]

[needtobecleaned]

[When KOS-MOS steps off it, she lets her hand hover over it so it would shift back into a more recognizable shape: her maintenance bed. And then she uses her Transfer System to return it to the Palace District.]

It is part of the Dinah Mobile Interface.

[betterwithglasses]

[ ... nooooooot asking. Though from the way Jr talks, the man must have been pretty eccentric. ]

Don't mention it. I'll have a look at Asher this evening, all right?

[Action]

[betterwithglasses]

Dinah Mobile Interface?

[ Transfer System, BEST SYSTEM. But while they talk, they can walk, so she turns to head into the hangar, thinking. ]

The same Dinah - the E.S?

[betterwithglasses]

[ This time she actually sees Allen, if only because she's heading in his direction when he arrives. ]

Hello, Allen.
