Wahrheit Repair - Locked to Orlando Desmarais

[howling-alone.livejournal.com]

[Alexei appears rather content as a new pair of arms and legs are slowly rolled into the hangar holding Wahrheit]

Who would've guessed Neo America had a Bernard and Felix Foundation outpost? And they said the League only operated on Earth...

[After the goods have been delivered, Orlando would get a rather sudden call]

Orlando. This is Alexei. That thing I was talking about having you do? It's time to do it. I hope to see you within the next hour in Wahrheit's hangar. Bring tools... and Handyman. You're gonna need em.

[A slight humming is heard as Alexei concentrates. After a few seconds, a loud KATHUNK is heard coming from the interior of the legs...then another...followed by 3 more in regular intervals. After the fifth, the legs detach from the core at the hips, but still held in place by Handyman. As they're pulled away, a few Kojima particles escape from the base of the legs, but simply float away]

If you want to take a look at em, be my guest. Always fun to get an up close and personal look at it.

[The Handyman puts the legs aside.]

I know how armor cores work. I've done a fair amount of research on them myself, specifically about the modularity.

[He seems a bit intrigued by this]

Did more homework than Lowe did eh? Not bad, Orlando. Keep the legs, by the way, if you have room in Clockmaker...I have something special planned for those. For now, position the new ones. I want to make sure Wahr can stand upright again.

[New legs in position...]

This was a while ago. I've developed special limbs that can replace destroyed limbs on the field just by slapping them on. I don't want to get too much into the specifics, but the initial design was inspired from armored cores.

I could imagine they'd be difficult to try and replicate from a financial standpoint. As it is, these things are expensive, though they tend not to break. Did you get hired by a corporation to do so, or just curiosity?

[Another 5 are heard, the safety locks putting the legs into place]

[notimemachine.livejournal.com]

I make them mostly out of scavenged parts. It's not like abandoned, ruined mecha are hard to find. The only expensive bits are the electronics.

Speaking about that...

[He purges the right arm entirely, or what was left of it, disregarding the safety pins and just letting it fall to the ground]

I'm not sure if you're acquainted with my first suit, the Strayed?

[notimemachine.livejournal.com]

There, I've got to let you down. Is that a model or a personal suit designation?

[howling-alone.livejournal.com]

Suit designation. I figured it was fitting since after Rayleonard was dissolved, I was "Strayed" so to speak... Technically, it's an AALIYAH core, but thanks to White Glint, it's just a pile of parts in the next hangar over...

[5 pins appear from the right arm of the Wahrheit]

Makes me wonder if...someone with knowledge in NEXT units couldn't take a look at it...probably restore it...maybe even modify it a bit?

[Subtlety was NOT Alexei's strong point]

[notimemachine.livejournal.com]

[Repairs continue.]

Could be an interesting side project.

[howling-alone.livejournal.com]

Even moreso...

[He watches as the arm gets attached now]

Possibly even make a streamlined cockpit so anyone could use it... The boosters would have to be toned down though. Anyone that would use a standard cockpit with that kind of speed would get throttled rather quickly... I'd keep it off the record from the League though...
