Did someone say science?

[drinkthedyne]

WHO: Agatha Heterodyne and Jack Bauer

WHEN: Wednesday night
WARNINGS: SCIENCE?
SUMMARY: Jack is asking Agatha to help him start an aerial unit for the Police! He has a choppa, and she's going to see it.
FORMAT: Quick!

[Agatha arrives right on time with a satchel full of some tools and a few of her dingbots. She looks around the lobby and asks the receptionist for Jack Bauer.

Then waits.]

Comments

[Jack's there in less than a minute and loses no time getting over there and shaking her hand]

Agatha? Hi, thanks for coming. I-

[Stops. Sees the dingbots. Staaaares. Slowly reaches for his pistol.]

[drinkthedyne]

Hello, Herr Bauer, it's nice to meet you in person-

[Raises her eyebrows at him.]

No need for that, Herr Bauer, they're my helpers.

[out_of_time]

[Relaxes. SLIGHTLY.]

Sorry. [Small quick twitch of a smile.] Still getting used to things like that. C'mon, I'll take you to the helicopter.

[drinkthedyne]

[One of the dingbots peeks out from under her hair and peeeeers at him curiously. So curiously. It makes an inquiring clicking noise.]

Lead on.

[out_of_time]

[Does his best to ignore the weird drone thing as he takes her to the helicopter.]

[Jack enters the vehicle storage room cautiously, peering around before he steps in. Fortunately, Mothchan appears to be out. He still doesn't trust that damn thing. The helicopter is right there. It is blue and dusty.]

[drinkthedyne]

[She promptly ignores him and bounces across to the helicopter.]

Ooooh, this is lovely! I'm sure I can do something with this!

[Climbs into it, releasing her 'bots from the bag so they can help her examine the thing.]

[out_of_time]

[Jack's just a LITTLE uncomfortable with these strange machines clambering over his ride, but tries not to let it get to him]

I'm hoping to add some kind of armor, if that won't interfere with mobility, as well as improve the communications equipment.

[drinkthedyne]

Only armor and communications? I could do so much more! Not just armor, but I can improve the flying mechanisms and add weapons that have settings from stun to kill!

[Is promptly waist-deep into the control panels, tugging at wires.]

[out_of_time]

[Is intrigued]

You can do that?

[drinkthedyne]

Of course I can! [Bzzzzt.] WHY, YOU LITTLE-! [Clang clang, she pulls out of the dashboard with soot on her face.]

Hmph, you've got quite the naughty flying machine here.

[out_of_time]

Yeah, well you'll have to be patient with it. It hasn't had any attention for a while.

[drinkthedyne]

Of course. Still, that's no excuse for zapping me.

[Affectionately pats the dash.]

You'll have to get it delivered to my workshop.

[out_of_time]

[nods] All right. I assume you've got enough room for it, right?

[drinkthedyne]

Oh, of course! I have enough room for three of these, at least. That's taking into account the projects I've already got partly built.

[To herself]Hmm, perhaps I ought to finally take apart the mobile suit that I was building for Viral, since he'll probably never come back..

[out_of_time]

Okay, good. I'll send it right over, then. If you've got a place I can land it, I could just fly it there.

[drinkthedyne]

[Raises her eyebrows at him.]

I don't have anywhere to land it, unfortunately. It'll have to be brought over on a truck.

[out_of_time]

That's what I'll do, then.

[Walking around the copter, looking at what she and the Dingbots have already done to it]

Do you have an estimate on how long it'll take?

[drinkthedyne]

[They haven't really done anything except poke around under the dash curiously, so everything that was in working order is still in working order.]

Not until I get started and figure out exactly what I'll be adding to it and what needs upgrading, but I'll obviously keep you in touch.

[out_of_time]

[Nod nod]

Okay, great, thanks Agatha. How much do you think this will cost?

[drinkthedyne]

[Flashes him a rather mischievous grin.]

That depends on how hard it is for me to get the materials I want, and how much of a challenge the upgrades are. The tank was gifted.
