Nu mini missions for this kitten

Lucchini can’t be up to anything good right? The young girl’s sitting on the floor in front of her strikers, a tool in the corner of her mouth and… Is she wearing Shirley’s goggles?  Probably hoping that she’ll get some of Shirley’s skill through osmosis or something. 

The teen has a section of the Striker unit open looking at it, and a sketch in her lap then back at it, a puzzled look on her face.  She knows the strikers work at least, test flight on them around the ship had shown they were repaired right if a little sluggish nothing she couldn’t compensate for at least.

“No… not those bolts… hm…”

Whatever she had been doing with her Striker Units she's bored of trying now, thus she's currently roaming the halls looking for something to do; okay she may be shirking duties, but really!  She's a growing girl, and chores aren't fun!

[Lucchini fires up the engines holding the rails so she doesn't go flying off yet. She frowns a little.] Sounds off still. That sputter on the left one shouldn't be that long. [She turns them off. She knows her units enough to know their sound.]

Though I think it's close.

We're getting there. Let's try this...[More fiddling with it. She calls one of the stalkers over and the ressurected man serves as tireless tool holder.]

[Lucchini watches them a moment and lets her fiddle with it.]

He just going to stand like that?

[The resurrected mechanical man doesn't respond, of course.]

Well they're supposed to be weapons of war but between you and me, I prefer them better as shop helpers.

[She tightens something, loosens something else then steps back.]

[Lucchini tries the engines again, this time the one side sputters properly.] It sounds right now, I'll have to wait a little while longer to get flight clearance.

I hope it works, little one. [She wants to say she's a little young to be a pilot, but she's seen how young the Storm has needed to take. Only her genius at repairing stalkers saved her from the same fate.] I'm Doctor Oenone Zero. Do you want to tell me your name?

Francesca Lucchini of the Strike Witches. Thank you for helping. I hope it works too, Markus repaired them after they got damaged, I really didn't want to tell him the timing was off.
