[[After having the Technica dredged up from rubble and forced into the ship, the pilot finally gets some "me" time to take in everything. He's actually pretty twitchy... adrenaline and excitement running through him. Firstly, he just wrecked shop out there, up until that fuckin smaller lizard caused some power outage in his machine.

Eventually, he gets the hatch opened and steps out, still uniformed. This isn't your ordinary Kamen Rider, boy!]]

[[After finding a chance to change, and time for a food, some kid is off and scampering about on the Technica that just got hauled in. He's just there, acting like he's been around the whole time. And what's MOOOORE, is that from there, he starts getting around and climbing over some of the other machines. No, he didn't ask, he's just there, on them, inspecting, reading paperwork available on them. It's pretty harmless, but he's CLIMBING on your machine!]]

[[He doesn't even look. She's more interesting than his damaged machine.]]

Huh? Oh... Name's MarKus. I'm more mechanic than technician. Don't ask me to program a damn thing. Can't do it, yo.

Mechanic. I gotcha. I'm a bit of a mechanic myself. That's my Striker you were climbing all over. I use it to fly.

[[Well, kind of hard to climb over a tiny thing like that but.. he can think of other things he could climb over better!]]

Striker huh? [[Thinking literally for now.]] So... you put them on your arms or something. Fly around and punch people with 'em?

[Dohohoho innuendo~]

Nope. On my legs. it allows me to fly, amplifying my magic.

[[No, in YO window! Ha!

What does that even mean?]]

Right... I'll believe the flying part but... Magic? Really?

[No idea. Kind of equates to "I want to lick on some bricks and go ham on it." /shrug]

Magic. Here, lemme show you.

[Goes and takes a flying leap, sinking into the Strikers easily as a glow formed, tail and ears appearing. On cue, the rotary engine began to hum to life.]

[[Mad air... Nice. And a good look at her hair too, double nice. This chick is all 'win' thus far.

And then the magic, and confusion, happens.]]

Woah... fuckin... bunny ears...

Pretty cool huh? The ears and tail are a sign of a familiar, which channels my magic into a specific type. For me, it's going fast. I'm hoping to break mach 1 on these things.

Yo... you know there's other machine that do that already, right?

Or, you want to get one of those to do it? Bet it just needs more power... or more magic or something? [[Magic... foreign concept...]]

Can't. The only thing truly effective against a Neruoi is magic. And witches need all the power they can get but not overtax themselves piloting mecha.

But you don't need magic to pilot a mech, yo.

Oh... OH YEAH! You're a Strike Witch! I get it now! [[Apparently?]] You use magic against those things, right?

So, isn't there... [[Well, no, she WOULD have the fastest model, right?]]

Better parts then. Few tweaks here and there won't fuck it up, right? [[He's kneeling, but, not close enough to get slided up by a propeller. Also, there's an opportune angle here.]]

That's right, I'm part of the 501st, the Joint Group that was originally stationed out in Gallia.

Better parts would do it. I can only do so much retuning it all the time.

Then, get DIFFERENT parts. Like... from other things. I mean, I'd have to figure out how this works, but, you know... There's probably some spare mech parts we could solder in there.

Hmm, you have a point! Man, I've been stuck retrofitting it all the time, so it's always a delicate job.

[[Girls know about delicate things, but... well, he hasn't met any that get their hands dirty doing repairs.]]

Wait, so YOU actually work on it? Damn yo. [[That's a few more kinds of 'win']]

I've been around giant robots for a while, so, hey, maybe I can help you out with the mods? I've only got one real thing to work on right now anyway, but I can put that aside for a pretty thing like you.

That'd be great! We've got our own techs on it, but they could probably show you the innerworkings of a striker if you need a more in-depth look. I've got a nice set up here so I'll show you piece by piece how it works.

What? Now?

A'ight!

All right then! Here's the most basic rundown of it... [Goes into explanation, removing parts and showing him it.]

Nah, you can go into detail if you wanna.

[[So, while she takes it apart, he'll pick up a part here and there to look at it closer. Somewhere in that, his hand presses down on hers setting a part down.

Awkward? You bet!]]

[Shirley looks down on his hand and grins a little. Awkward? Maybe for HIM.] Heh, that's the spark plug y'know.

[[Well, he wasn't trying to take her hand... And they just met. Maybe tomorrow he won't be so weird on it.]]

I know what a spark plug is. Just wanted to see if it was any different.

[Hah, it will never stop being weird~]

Yeah, it's actually a little different. Just by the parts to it.

[[Oh, it will. For MarKus... If Shirley is always awkward then... oops.]]

[[So he studys the part a bit, then sets it down, letting her take stuff apart and whatnot.]]

So... pretty much, the magical parts are standard, everything else we can tweak with?

[Oh yeah. And she nods at that.]

Pretty much. It's just a couple of parts here and there that really need to be worked on.

So. We get 'em. Can't be that hard. This... I've seen a lot of these in [[insert fairly common grunt.]]

And I hear these are in [[insert lesser common grunt... mostly Zeon/Orb stuff.]]

If I can get ahold of my parents, they can probably pull some strings...]]
