Thread: Space Revolution {KayLove & BlackThorne}

Oracle? Wow, I'd never thought I'd get a chance to meet you, you're like an urban legend when it came to others talking about you and all tricks of the trade. She as ever so slightly blown away by finally having met him. Even feeling a little inadequate. Lily was more than happy to share her knowledge of the items she procured, we crashed onto a planet where the worm hole directly came out of. I know this is strange but all of this was there it was just there. I honestly don't know how to explain it. It was a junk yard of dreams, by the gods. Every kind of ship you could ever imagine and more, some I couldn't even tell what they were made out of. She was lying slightly but decided to stick with it even as she kept her hands busy by going to the panel upon the wall and fiddling with some of the newer tech knowing that the Kos would benefit from having new parts even if it didn't need it she would instal it. Oracle was an interesting man he continued to ask her questions about this and that, some she couldn't answer because she honestly didn't know where it came from because she couldn't remember what kind of ship she had gotten it from. He asked her about the alloy she had used to patch the haul and weapons array. She told him how it took her forever just to find a single specialized bolt that she had to use to anchor the engines. Lily also asked about what he thought would be best for Isaac, if they should instal him on the Kos or simply put him into a portable drive to make it so all you had to do was simply plug him into any ship and he would be able to temporarily be the ships AI. Although she wasn't much of an expert when it came to that so she would have to ask Oracle to help her with downloading his extensive programming. Lily pushed her glasses on top of her head and turned swiftly, her arms already full with some of the most expensive cables she had ever seen on a ship and knew she could replace the ones on the Kos with hers to make the electric systems better. Hello, Mr. Murphy, it's so nice to meet the man that makes sure the ship runs, always the most important part. He gave a low whistle at the cables she held, I think I've only ever read about those beauties. Worth a pretty penny on any market. Were we puttin those to use on the Kos? Yes please, if you'd make sure they get where they need to go I can help instal them if you need me to. She almost reluctantly handed over the cables and continued on, glasses perched atop her head. When it came to the ship it slightly hurt seeing it all being taken apart but she knew that it was for the best, she just had spent so much time. Lily gave a small jump as Duncan pulled her aside and got close enough for her to see the darker shade of gray in his eyes, she pushed her glasses back to the top of her head and gave a smile at his words, Duncan, I think I can take it from here, Captains of ships have more important things to do than babysit the damsel who is far from distressed. She gave him a little shove with her hip seeing as her arms were yet again full with a couple of rotaries. She watched as he walked out and men moved out of his way even though their arms were full. He had the respect of his men and it probably helped that he was seemingly the tallest man on the ship. Alright boys, I want to see if we can't get the ion weapon systems off. she went out side the ship grabbing a case of tools on her way and began her work, asking a couple men to help her as she did so. Lily was very, what was the word, graceful at controlling the situation and guiding the men on what they needed to do as to not damage any of it seeing as she had to Jerry rig some of the mechanisms for it to work and stay attached to the ship. She did the parts that she knew required a specific touch. Wrench please, she undid several bolts, easy boys! She gave a yell as it started to detach from the haul, Be sure not to damage that or else it won't work, a couple more twists and undoing and it was down and the boys were taking it away. Lily stood, wiping her brow and smearing grease right above her left eyebrow. Not that she particularly cared but as she was doing so, taking a moment to breath and wipe her hands off on a rag she noted a figure standing across the bay simply watching and she stared back. Her brow furrowed and just as she took a step forward to see the man better he turned and headed out. That was strange, perhaps she was something of an oddity here. It had taken several hours to get both arrays off and it was hard work, she knew she was going to call it a day for now, she had probably been up for 18 hours other than her little nap from lack of oxygen. Hey Oracle, could you tell me the channel to call the Captain, she walked up the ramp to find him fiddling with a piece of the control panel the size of his palm but it controlled the scanning system and was critical to a ship, Took me forever to find that, especially one so high tech, it can detect anything and everything. I haven't had time to experiment and see how far it can go out but I'm sure you could figure that out. He happily helped her before getting back into his own world once again with Isaac chatting away at what ever he was asked of to scan or give a reference to. She pinged the Captain and as he answered, Lily to the Captain, I think that's as much progress I'm going to be able to get done today, we made a large dent that's for sure. She told him as she looked around at the already dwindling Aurora, I'm ready to be escorted like the obvious princess I am. She said sarcastically and smiled as their com ended. Lily climbed the stairs of one of the catwalks and looked down at the ship, her small satchel beside her as she sat down, let her feet hang over the edge, and waited for Duncan. She took the first moment she's had to herself to pull out her notes and go over to make sure everything was there, pulling the small vial from her shirt and looking at it in the artificial light. Inside of the vial was what looked like water but as if it had its own space atmosphere it floated in a small orb inside of the vial. The blue of the water changed colors slightly in the light as it moved on its own. She was still skeptical of it but hopeful that he father would be able to find a use for the substance and how to utilize it to the best degree. Steps upon the catwalk, vibrating beneath her, caused her to quickly close her hand around the precious vial and put it away. Gathering her papers and readying herself to get up. To anyone that was watching her she must have looked like an odd disheveled woman, her glasses smudged and oil on her forehead, hair in messy waves, and various scuffs upon her pants and toe of her boot. But she didn't mind, her work was always more important to her than her looks although her father liked to tell her it should be the other way around. But she was head strong and wouldn't be stopped no matter who told her otherwise. For now though, she had to focus on getting home safely, and she hoped Duncan was going to hold to his word and make sure she did.
