[On the one hand, it's a risk to reveal Kyrios.]

[On the other, he's glad to get it back after so long without it.]

Is there anyone here with skills in robotics and mobile suit repair? Mine has sustained heavy damage.

[The video flicks on, showing a mobile suit with serious damage. Once it stood 19 meters tall - now it's sitting and would look upset if it could.]

[The video flicks off.]

I know it's a tall order, but I would be willing to work with whomever gave me help. Even if it's just getting it so that it looks correct but doesn't entirely work, I'd be satisfied.

I will pay you back in any way I can.

It's perfect! Shall we get started?

[She really can't wait to have a look at that clank's systems. She pulls several tools and a pair of goggles out of her bag. The dingbots are peering around curiously. They'd love a chance to poke around too, but she'll get mad if they wander off.]

[egotrigger]

It should work... when it hits the security systems I'll probably need to help, though. A lot of this stuff isn't supposed to be released outside of our group.

[He nods at Agatha a little.]

We can at least start pulling off some of the most heavily damaged panels.

[electricyousei]

"I think before we start replacing the armor we should see what its composed of too. As for the armor plating, the computer panels over there handle that."

She points and starts hooking the ship's AI to the Gundam's computer to start getting the data from it.

[ding_bots_are_done]

He is right though, we're going to have to remove the badly damaged panels either way. So we may as well start there.

[She turns to the dingbots.]

Okay guys, go see if you can loosen some of those panels from the inside, I'll work from out here.

[It helps to have tiny assistants sometimes. They can get into spaces that she can't.]

And while you're in there, try to assess the damage.

[They climb into various nooks and crannies behind the damaged panels and start loosening them. Agatha helps them from the outside, making a strange humming sound as she works.]

[egotrigger]

I might have to get in there to get it to lower some of the security levels.

[In addition to the obvious damage on the stump of a leg, the cockpit's been cracked badly. There's dried blood inside as well as tons of shards of reinforced glass.]

[The front panels don't look quite as bad, but it's clear from the back that the Gundam took some heavy laser fire and some slashing damage. There's debris stuck in the jets, and wedged into the large back piece, preventing it from getting anywhere close to transforming.]

[That's not to even start on the weapon systems or the particle drives, which seem to be a whole different mess entirely.]

[electricyousei]

"Understood, and I meant more let the hydraulics deal with the heavy peaces that way we're not tired out to look at the finer parts."

She fiddles with a few panels on her control console and several armatures designed to replace armor start coming down to fasten to the busted bits.

[ding_bots_are_done]

[Agatha nods appreciatively as the hydraulic armature goes to work.]

Ooh, that's handy.

[It also means she can focus on more interesting things. So let's take a look at those weapon systems. The humming noise starts up anew, interrupted occasionally when a dingbot climbs out of some hole or crevice to show her something they found. This is far more advanced machinery than Agatha is used to. If she wasn't a spark, she'd be lost. As it is, she's learning a lot very quickly. Transforming clanks are definitely going on the list of things she really needs to build.]

[egotrigger]

Ah, I see.

[He jolts a bit as he spots Agatha getting close to the shield.]

Careful! The beam saber should be off, but don't reactivate it.

[The dingbots will find not only that there's a shield that can separate into a claw with a beam saber, but there's also a submachine gun, a low-yield particle beam cannon, and two beam sabers. All of the weaponry looks like they run off of something connected to the massive engines in the back.]

Do you want help down there?
