ABS FIESTA REDUX

[Tayasaurus]

Tippy opens the door.

"Rooogerrr! What a pleasant surprise! And Mr. Guard nice to meet you. This must be about the home invasion?"

[Ad Bot]

[Lockebox]

"Home invasion? No i left you a gift and was just leaving and someone freaked..."

Roger is now officially uncomfortable.

[Tayasaurus]

"Home invasion? No i left you a gift and was just leaving and someone freaked..."

Roger is now officially uncomfortable.

You can't see it but a large smile paints Tippys generally blank canvas.

"Right. The gift. A little red present filled with a pair of panties (obvious lie) is not something i'm interested in. Your loveual advances are not wanted." Tippy barely holds back some giggles.

"Here. you left something."

Tippy disappears behind the door and a loud smashing noise could be heard. She pops back out and hands Roger his phone in two pieces.

"sorry dropped the mini fridge on it. Have a good day!"

[Lockebox]

Roger wears a defeated look on his face and looks at his phone. All that lost data.

"That's...fine. You have a good day too."

He pinches his brow as Tippy shuts the door. He looks at the Mercanan guard.

"Well uh. This is the part where i can go now right?"

[Qwepir]

"Well uh. This is the part where i can go now right?"

The guard whistles to imitate something falling.
: I hope you brought your parachute because you just got shot down, my man. Yeah, you can go.

[Tayasaurus]

"Ok loving finally... so you wanna boot up a robot or not?"

[Qwepir]

: Bitchin', how we do?

[Tayasaurus]

"Since this piece of "advanced" technology uses a battery. I assume that conventional means using a car battery could temporarily suffice. We just need to find the connection points. We also need to find a certain servo piece in his left knee. It will be a washer about the size of a dime and have ridges on it. Don't ask me how i know that."

Tippy rotates the upper torso to pry open the back. She points to a red toolbox underneath the desk.

"If you need tools you can find one in there."

[Qwepir]

: Yeah, I work on planes, not robots.

She just plonks the battery on the table.
: You're the one who actually knows what they're doing, I just brought a battery.

[Tayasaurus]

: Yeah, I work on planes, not robots.

She just plonks the battery on the table.
: You're the one who actually knows what they're doing, I just brought a battery.

"Are you not even in the slightest curious? I though you were a tinkerer unless you're here to thinker with some other things ;o;."

"but alright i'll work on this by myself. Thanks for the battery."

[Qwepir]

"I though you were a tinkerer"

: No... Not really. That was Ikumi's thing.

While this is going on, Nagato bursts into the infirmary, looking for Yui.
: [Whats up, nerd? I know you're too busted up to leave your bed and that the food here sucks, so I went and got you something good to eat.]

She sets down a rack of ribs on your bedside table.

[Tayasaurus]

: No... Not really. That was Ikumi's thing.

"Alright well. Sorry for wasting your time i guess. Thanks for the battery! If i need anything i'll i may or may not check back with you."

[Gojira]

"[Thanks. No- ow- seriously. Wait-, are you poking- OW- fun at me with this?]" I ask, holding a rib. I grin a little through the pain and start eating.

[Mr. Hurricane]

: No, I mean like, what happened after that little bit of... unpleasantness. I mean, it's still unpleasant, kinda gross, even. Just look.

She gets out her phone and pulls up a screencap of some social media website, on which a Huit woman in an Air Force uniform posted a selfie with a polished skull. The skull appears to have a fracture in the jaw on the same side of the face Kissinger was decked in.
: Now I don't read Huit, but I ran that caption through a translator and apparently it says "I said I'd do it." I have no idea what that means, but...

Ya know, just yesterday I got to see a 3d rebuild of my skull from a CT scan, because I kept getting lockjaw. Poetic.


I assist the maintenance crew by stripping and scab patching the Dassault's skin. Many of the panels had to be patched, and so the aircraft is looking a bare. Lots of exposed machinery and wires. A lot of stuff I have no clue how to work.

[Gojira]

forgetin knew that would happen
