Howard paused next to her as she methodically checked the circuits on an electrical board with a pair of probes. Her recovered tool kit minus one size twenty two wrench was delicately positioned between her and the wall.
"Great planning Avane, I'd wouldn't have guessed we'd need this many repair supplies. Heero really wreaked it landing it and all."
She delicately touched two opposite ends of a wire with the negative and positive probes, the small needle in the electrical sensor to which they were attached flicked to "No current". Avane Howard?
"I'm sorry Howard, but Avane's not here right now. If you leave a message with me I'll be sure to tell her."
"Oh, right, sorry E-Vane, didn't mean to do that."
"Oh so it was me you were talking to? Thank you then."
"Great insight too, where in the world did you manage to scrape together all that gundanium though? The gundams took years to get just the plate armor, really nice planning, real nice, real nice."
Well duh, I planned it. She snipped the two ends of the wire off and sorted through electrical gear for the spares. Ah here it is! She pulled out a small conductor and delicately dribbled the ends with solder before sticking it to the board.
"Anyhow, I was wondering. Where are ya getting all the stuff. I mean you've only been on earth for what a couple of days?"
She tapped the new connection, it held firm. Yippee all done! "Sorry Howard, secrets of the trade. But I'll give you a hint, look for the rooms marked storage. They usually have good stuff." She waved her pointer and middle fingers in the air, then twisted the peace sign slightly tilting her head insync. "Talk to ya later, don't forget to give them the new board now that it's fixed."
Howard's bonkers if he thinks I'd give away that kinda information. She peeped through the open doorway as she passed, noting the disarray of Wing, and flinching slightly at the mangled armor. What a looser, and a Gundam's practically the toughest thing in existence right now. Besides that block of bread Dr. J tried to make. She wandered into the bunk area and picked a hammock hanging at a good angle to watch the door from. She grabbed a blanket and stretched out, pulling the coarse fabric over shoulders. She lay quietly for a little bit, faking sleep long enough that the other bunkers would be convinced. When sufficient time had passed she twisted her wrist and quietly popped off the cover of her watch. A mini computer blinked to life. She pulled out the small antenna that was hidden under the stop knob. The latest missions from the doctors waited to be forwarded to the pilots. She grinned slyly as she sent the same mission to both pilots on the ship, in effect tomorrow she set the satellite cameras for a lock on them and curled up to sleep.
"Ahhhhhhhhh!"
She jerked bolt upright accidentally whacking her head on the person above her. She patted the bruised lump. "Sorry." She called cheerfully. Awfully soft… O damn! It was actually the guy's rear she had rammed her head into and was currently touching. She jerked back her hand and leapt off the hammock, covering her head and crimson face with the blanket while she ran from the room.
As soon as she was in the safety of the hallway she raced into the hanger. What was that scream? It sounded like one of the pilots, probably duo. She stopped dead as soon as she crossed the threshold. Deathsythe's head was laying disconnected on the floor along with the remains of an arm and the legs. It was lacking all the parts she had brought for wing. DAMN THAT BOY! She did a 360 and raced back down the corridors to refit the pieces for deathsythe. Just for this I'm gonna get Duo to accomplish the mission! Howard chucked as she entered the door but the seething look that met his stopped the laugh cold.
