Nuts n' bolts

[tempus_fixit]

Who: Lucca, damaged robots, nosy onlookers (threadjacking encouraged)
What: August repair log!
Where: Machine shop
When: Friday nights
Warnings: T for TECHNOBABBLE

Lucca's posted reminders about open repairs on Fridays seems to be working. At first, Lucca would quietly slip into the machine shop repair bay alone, with nothing but some uncomfortable-looking tools and her diagnostic equipment and wait for several hours in a darkened room that smelled faintly of coolant and burnt metal.

Now... she's still in the same room, but her increased self-confidence means that she's made the whole deal her own. The lights are ON now, she's commandeered the shop stereo for some light music to chase off the silence, and there are a couple six-packs of e-tanks and oil cans (and yes, even some soda) for refreshments. She's got an assistant now too! (The fact that it's her boyfriend, and they're regularly spending several hours along together, is completely unrelated.)

She's even borrowed a privacy screen from the nurse's office and set it behind the far bench, just in case someone comes in with a part broken off that doesn't normally see daylight. Hey, she's not here to judge, she's here to repair.

With the investigations and newfound monsters around the city, any 'bot could get themselves hurt. Whether you're a patient, a coolant donor, a robot enthusiast or a curious staff member, she'd be happy to say hi.

Rock, for his part, had never seen something like this, save for when Lucca showed him the Epoch. Steampunk technology was still beyond him, and so when it hummed to life, Rock came up to look it over, trying to understand the changes she made to it. "This is really impressive," he finally commented.

"Wow...!"

Rock's voice draw's Lucca's attention as well, and she soon follows after to peer at the machine that is now happily percolating in the corner. Was that meter there before? Where'd she get those Edison bulbs? Is that an antenna?

"It is! Is it... still a generator?" Because, you know, she wanted to establish that first. It's not like the purpose of HER stuff hasn't changed in mid-tune-up before.

Ronnae blushed, fidgeting in place but offering a small smile and a nod. "T-thanks, and yup, still a generator but I made it so you can change the elemental output in case you needed different types of elemental energies." she said pointing at the new meter and panel next to it with different settings illustrated by a different runic symbol for each element.

"That's amazing," Rock said, a big smile on his face as he curiously examined the modified contraption. "Can it generate solar energy?" he asked. "It'd be cool if I could hook it right up to my solar generator. Just to try it out!"

[tempus_fixit]

"And fire and lightning and everything?" Lucca chimes in, eyes shining. Wow, this thing could REALLY be useful! She glances to Rock.

"Well... as long as you're careful, I guess you can try it. It'd be a a good test! Just be careful you don't overload, okay?"

"I will!" he promised with a smile, unbuttoning his shirt. When it was open, he tapped on the square shaped marking on his chest, causing it to slide open and reveal an access port. He had a recharge point there that he could hook up to. His primary energy source was solar cells, but he could also get quick recharges from E-tanks, or plug in to conserve power. All he needed was a cord...
