02 Aliens On Earth

[chases-aliens.livejournal.com]

1) [Dita's looking through the observation windows at the landscape around them. It was beautiful and terrible at the same time, with the damaged landscape from numerous battles, to the alien architecture not associated with Mejire.]

It's so haunting...


2) [She's in the hangar of the Chalice, helping the mechanics that stayed behind to do some adjustments to any of the mecha that they're allowed to work on. Who knew Dita was a competent mechanic?]


3) [Lunch time! She's cooking up a Mejire dish for everyone, some kind of variant of roast turkey no less. Whatever it is, it smells DELICIOUS. Come have some?]

[Michael was testing a few of the Wolf's systems after a routine tune up...MANUALLY! WHILE INSIDE! MUAHAHAHA- oh wait sorry wrong politician. In any case he catches sight of Dita working hard alongside everyone else.]

Hey!

[SHA-PING! Thumbs-up!]

Glad to see you're helping out here-

[Looks over to one of the mechanics]

What? The Hydraulics in the-

[Low creak and the hand that was giving Dita a thumbs up proceeded to hand limply]

Ah SNAP!

[chases-aliens.livejournal.com]

Ah! Hold on a second!

[Hands the items to the nearby mechanic and runs over, checking the hand.] Looks like an internal servo malfunction.

[A light whirr sounded off and the President was looking directly at Dita]

Huh. Can you fix it then?

[chases-aliens.livejournal.com]

We use similar hydraulics in our launch bays. Hold on a moment!

[Picks up a few tools and starts to work on them, adjusting things carefully before working a few pieces out, and then replacing them.] Normally it's just a pressure problem anyhow. But hydraulics usually fail because of gummed up works.

[There be Kamille, working on a special machine-gun arm for the MK-II Customization project.] Alright then, make sure the belt-feed doesn't get caught while reattaching the limb. We'll be testing the opening mechanism after the Blade-Shield is finished.

Can't believe you're using ballistics. Isn't there a beam cannon available for a weapon like this?

[burningprez.livejournal.com]

Gummed up? Huh...

[Now Michael was thinking...he was thinking hard... How on earth would the Hydraulics in his suit's arm be gummed up? Looking at the replaced parts? Literally. There was GUM in there.]

Well don't that just beat all?

[scoffs] Variety, my dear girl, is the spice of life. The Ballistics are a counter for things like ABC cloaks and I-fields, a method of fighting against non-mobile suits like KMFs without wasting Beam-Rifle power, and a general back-up weapon. Besides, this way it doesn't take much energy from the generator.

[Dita giggles.] In regular forms of combat, the oil that is used to lube hydraulics needs to be replenished on a regular basis, or else it'll get all sticky and tar-like. I'm just surprised there's this pink stuff on it.

Wouldn't missiles do then? I mean, if there's a protective barrier, firing a missile would help.

[blinks. Clearly never heard of wasting beam energy shots before.]

Re: 2

[zetahatsudo.livejournal.com]

True, but I'm using the legs for that, they have more room for something like Missiles. This Hidden Weapons Custom is all about maximizing space within the Gundam.

Re: 2

[chases-aliens.livejournal.com]

Oh. Yeah we don't actually bother with hidden weapons on our dreads. [sheepish.]

[burningprez.livejournal.com]

Must've fell out of someone's mouth while they were working.

Don't people know NOT to chew gum when working with machinery?

[A new and exciting food to try out? As if Julia even needed to justify wanting to eat it with being an Irgelion!]

[chases-aliens.livejournal.com]

Who knows. We're not allowed to do that back on the Nirvana at any rate.

Re: 3

[chases-aliens.livejournal.com]

Hiii! Want to give it a taste? [Cutting into the succulent smelling bird and dishing it out.]

[curseu-reflexes.livejournal.com]

I'd absolutely love to! I can't believe all this time I forgot that since you're an alien too, you have all sorts of recipes humans and Irgelions don't know!

[chases-aliens.livejournal.com]

[Giggles at that.] True enough! Here, try it!

[It would be a sort of nutty, sweet dish at best with a hint of spice.]

[curseu-reflexes.livejournal.com]

[Oh, as if Julia could ever not find something like this delectable! She helps herself to a small bit to give it a taste, and then her eyes light up!]

It's wonderful, Dita!

[chases-aliens.livejournal.com]

Hehe isn't it? It's a Mejire traditional roast. Back home we raise birds for our meat than anything else.

You can see it all from space, but it's not the same as it is being down here, is it?

Re: 1

[chases-aliens.livejournal.com]

It really isn't. This world is so different from my home planet. It's really quite something, both beautiful and alien at the same time.

[bottleofgundam.livejournal.com]

What's your planet like?

[chases-aliens.livejournal.com]

Brilliant and green. All of the architecture is curved like our ships and technology.

[a chuckle] Noted.
