I'm just full warning you, your going to hear that many expliatives you could turn it into a drinking game but don't because i'm not liable if your liver calls it quits or you die of alcohol poisoning, so shall we begin.
"So how the fuck are we going to lift this let alone get it to beacon," i say as i walk up to the remains of the fallen titan. The corroded steel chassis of the fallen machine shines in the midday sun. The grass already taking root in the crevices and fissures of its frame.
"Are you sure you need all of this," Ren questions in a sage like manner.
"No i don't need all of it just the pump for the hydraulics and the persona core, the only problem with that would be finding the fucking things," I reply.
"If that's the case why not take of all the limbs." Jaune questions.
"That would be the best solution but two problems with that one i don't know where the connections are on this, beast of a machine and two i don't have any tools big enough to fit those bolts," i say as i point to the head sized bolt that binds the beasts mass of hydraulics to its shell.
"So if we were to break it down then let's first take off the arms at the elbow joint potentially the neck depending on how much the cable management makes me blow a fuse,"
"That it, why not just break it" Nora shouts.
"And loose all of the valuable tech, fuck no, it takes about 5 thousand cats just for a single proper repair kit sure the are cheaper options but there heavily substandard, and i'm down to my last one and that's not counting all of stuff not included like cables, pipes, eye's ." I reply
"So that's out of the question," pyrrha says trying to defuse the situation.
"Wait what if we disconnect the torso unit from the spine and upper body, all the is connecting the two are the spinal hydraulic and power cables as well as the spinal maneuvering servos but those a long with any hydraulics should have disengaged when the unit expired," i shout as the thought hits me.
"One problem with that wouldn't that require use to fill it over onto its front to access the spine," Jaune questions.
"It would. However, if we flip it on it's right side and move the right arm to support it, that way we can access both sides easily, it's simple," i answer as begin to lift up the old machine.
"So, are you going to help," I shout as my body strains as lift the machine.
Just as shout jaune runs over and aids me in my task, he too sweating from under the weight of the old machine. Ren and Nora also joins in the fight a she joins me and jaunes task while ren bends the beast arm to support the body.
"That was fun i haven't had to lift like that in years," Nora shouts with her voice full of energy.
"It's fine, lifting just this will build strength but you need stamina and metal strength too if you want to fight. That's why martial artists deck themselves out in the heaviest armor they can find and strap wooden crates full of iron ore to their backs as the fight to become stronger. So, if you need some armor for some proper training i know someone who can set you up," I reply.
"Let's get those back plates off," i say as i pull my tools from my backpack.
" i thought you said this was going to be easy yeah where not welding or cutting just undoing some screws," i say as i pass around a some screwdrivers
"Okay i'll show you how to disconnect a persona core from its power without frying the thing," i say as everyone surrounds me as i begin my work.
"First thing you do is figure out what sort of cables they are using," i say as i begin twisting a part one of the connectors on a braided steel cable.
"Ah it's the new standard one," i say as i see three still clean cables one yellow with a green stripe running along its length, and three other cables each one coloured brown, grey and blue.
"So the yellow and green one it the earth or neutral which is used to discharge the system if a fault is detected so we cut that one last. Then the is the grey which is three phase, the brown which is for one phase power then the is neutral which has no charge." i say explaining what the cables are for.
"what is three phase and Why do you need it," jaune asks.
"I'll explain later, back at the workshop because it is fairly complicated, and we need to get the hydraulics sealed off while we still have light." I answer.
"Okay ren i need you to go into my tool box and pull out box labeled medical, in there the should be a tourniquet i need you to pass it to me. I say as i prepare to disconnect the hydraulic system.
Squush. The hydraulic fluid gushes out of the cable before i
I quickly apply the tourniquet around the cable, stemming the flow of hydraulic fluid from the cable. I slowly look over my shoulder too see Pyrrha caked in the spent hydraulic fluid. "Well looks like somebody is happy to see you," i mock as she slowly reveals her emerald eyes from the brackish grease with a slight chuckle.
"Somebody got a towel," she meekly says.
"Here, use the schmoo* rag" i say as i pass her a ragged piece of fabric from my belt.
"Is that blood on it," she asks with a questioning look.
"Probably, just make sure you don't use it on any open wounds or try to eat it," I reply as i begin disconnecting the hydraulic pistons from the upper chassis. Click, puff the hydraulics of the unit contract as i free them from there mountings.
"There, where done all we need to is call, Ozpin i say the last of the hydraulics are released.
"yeah about that Jaune, says with a sheepish grin on his face.
Schmoo: an alternative name for gunky fluid not meant to be there.
Hi sorry this so late but i'm having computer problems that should be fixed by the next chapter also kudos to who gets the schmoo reference. -last
