someone's had way too much caffeine already today

Mira's darting across the hangar, still slapping the under armor on as she heads to her bike having an idea on how to test something and wanting to run the checks to see if it'll work before suggesting it to anyone else.

"Outta the way people!"  yep the tech's in full thinking mode... might want to jump out of her way.

A few hours later Mira's up on the deck grinning like a fool as she holds up the 'guns' she's retrofitted.  The ammo's mostly harmless.

"Okay!  I realize I'm one of the jokes on this ship so kinda asking someone who's a better fighter to help me get some hands on training that won't require someone going to medical.  Anyone up for a mecha styled water balloon fight?"  Hey she needed something that would be easier to clean up than you know paintballs?

"Forget them, if anything you're better preparing me the world we live in then they are. They're not going to do anything but tell me to get in the frikken robot, so I'll have to prepare myself." He made a determined face, good job putting on a bold act Kensuke, it didn't change the fact that in a way he was quite afraid of NERV.
"I guess I should have put this on, one second." A near by storage closet would suffice, and in a second he came back out decked out in the fully yellow suit.
"Don't tell anyone I said this, but I love this thing."

"Glad you think so." She chuckled a little when he went to change.

"Our secret. Though I will need to take measurements later. We'll make you the gear I have so you won't have to go using their stuff all the time." She tossed a small device to him. "That's an emergency kill switch for the 'bot. Keep it in your hand for now I'll have to make you riding gloves for it, but with luck you won't need it today." She finished moving things out of the way. "You're going to step back into it and I'll be folding it around you. Tell me if it pinches or is too tight okay?"

[my_time_to_shine]

"Alright. I think I can handle that." He took the little box and carefully tucked it into his palm, better to be safe than sorry, and he was glad she was thinking ahead for him. He followed instructions and stepped in the armor thankful for the thick protective layer of latex, or whatever they made plugsuits out of. "Ok, this is a little weird..."

[poorgirlsarcee]

"It was for me too." She grinned adjusting parts so they'd wrap right if he switched modes. "Be glad you have the plug suit. I was in a cotton dress the first time the bike wrapped around me. Figured you didn't want that experience." Testing things she nodded. "How's that feel? I can tighten areas if you think they'll need it before you take a step."

[my_time_to_shine]

"It's a bit claustrophobic compared to the plug, but I'll get used to it." He chuckled as if said it, taking a deep breathing and pushing away the initial anxiety of it closing around him. "It's tight across my shoulders, might just be the way it's meant to sit though, I'm not sure." He wiggled a little bit, feeling out the strange new sensations. "And thank you, I don't think I'd look very good in a sundress, Mira. The crew thanks you for sparing their eyes."

[poorgirlsarcee]

"Funny, I'd think that would be worse." Hydrophobe after all.

"Huh, here let me adjust it. I did the basic set up when you weren't as muscled after all." She moved behind him to make a few adjustments. "How's that?"

[my_time_to_shine]

"Better. Could ya give me a little more?" He waited for her to rework it, partially a little scared of what would happened if he sneezed and flailed with her so close and unprotected to him.
"It's kind weird to hear you say that. I was looking at pictures from when I first came here, I can't believe how shrimpy I was! But I guess there where worst ways to vent my frustrations. I bet Shinji wouldn't even recognize me now." He smirked turned his head carefully to smile at her.
"Man, this is seriously cool! I can't believe you went through so much trouble for me! This is really great."
He did not fail to realize that this was perhaps his first step to break free of his bondage to NERV.

[poorgirlsarcee]

"Yeah here." She made the adjustments. "That better?"

"Well I haven't been here long, but really you were smaller when I first met you."

"I had some spare parts wasn't that hard to build you one like my old bike. You don't get the new one until you know how to use it. Mostly because the cloaking.... Expensive to make."
