Hammers' Workshop

Rachel walked into the building hoping to get some help on something from the hammers she came in carrying the alien tech she got on loan from stargaurd.

Rachel softly called out "Yo any one home?"

Roland is tinkering with something at his workbench. He's dressed down today...it's the first time you've seen him in t-shirt and jeans. He looks up, "Over here!"

Rachel

She right now is dressed in over sized tank top that falls to mid thigh. She looks almost like she has nothing else on besides the shirt, but as she walks you see that she is wearing rather short shorts under them. Though most people don't notice them as they stare at the patch work of scars on her legs that look like she had a run througha field of knives. That or the fact her shoulders and collor bone's are just as scared with scars running down into her shirt beyond sight.

Rachel smiles and walks over "T-shirt and jeans looks nice on ya roland." she looks at what he is working on "what's that?"

He smiles, "Just calibrating the armor's weapon systems. I don't want the output too high." He chuckles, "Your monkey friend managed to screw up the plasma feed system."

Rachel raises a eyebrow "Oh how did he do that?" she sets down the alien tech looking over at it

Roland chuckles, "He SHOT me, assuming I was a villain. He should feel lucky that I didn't attack him back." He looks at you..."So um...what's with the scars? You alright?"

Rachel smiles sweetly at him a light smell of burning pine comming off of her "bilbo does that from time to time, he is a good person just a bit so naive and child like." she looked down her legs at her scars and sighed some "They are old, mostly stupid stunts or bad times."

Rachel sat down near Roland and the stuff trying not to sit in any thing "You know I forget how many I have some times" she then looks up at roland and gives him a beaming smile

He chuckles, "So what was that thing you brought in?" He motions to where you set down the item.

Rachel says, "Well you know those aliens right? I got my hands on some tech and was able to learn some stuff about the materials and the radiation the materals give off. I have found a way to track the odd radation these things give off but lack the skill to make a long range scaner. I was hoping you guys would help me make a good scaner......"

Rachel says, "I can pay for the materials and such, but I lack the skill ta make a good blueprint"

Roland nods, "Which aliens are you referring to? There are quite a few around."

Rachel says, "The supposive invaders, of the keftuan empire. I kinda wanna find out where they are hiding out, as they can't be telporting from that far away. Also the fact their materials are not from earth in nature so they got ta be getting them in some how"

Roland nods, "I don't know if you know this...but Starstrike is a member of one of the Keftuan's slave races. He's a Khyndarian. I'm sure between him and myself, we can work up something."

Rachel blinks a bit then slowly smiles "Well I have some basic ideas and notes on the radation they give off and a idea of where we can place the scaner to the most ground covered with it" she reaches inside her back pocket and pulls out what looks like a napkin with lots of scribbling on it and a ketcup stain

The smell of burning wood is slowly getting stronger but has a slight under tone of sulfur

Rachel says, "The keftuan are all around bad race arn't they?""

Roland nods, "From what Kh'rys tells me, yeah, they're pretty bad news."

Rachel frowns some nibbling her lip thinking before looking up and brushing some of her hair back with her hands in a vain attempt to get it out of her face "I also got something else.....I was able to get my hands on one of the implants, but I can't seem to find a way of making sure they go off....."

Rachel then jumps remembering something "OH by the way did you get the Acro blueprints I sent you?"

Roland furrows his brow, "No, I don't think I did."

Rachel sighs some shaking her head "remember that guy ya told me to watch, well I couldn't find out much about what he is working on but he is part of the engneering team for stargaurd. BUT I did get some blueprints of the Acro models he made, you know the basic stuff. I have another spare copy on me that I made for my own refance" she at this point start searching her pockets grummbling before finally she realizes where she stashed it and reaches inside her take top and bra and pulls out some printing paper folded up

He takes a look at the blueprints, taking a couple minutes, "Seems pretty accurate to me. Which makes sense. Even Starguard shoudl be able to detect the armor's weaknesses based on these."

Rachel nods "Ya I've been sharing them with the stagaurd opritives, I also got some ideas on how to shut of the armor with out damaging it or the person, but I'd need some one with more tech skill to work with my hacking skill to do it

He nods, "What idea did you have?"

Rachel grins "You under stand how the suit uses receptors to move it? What if we could make a sort of remote that tricks the receptors through electrical jolts that created a false version of a nerve's jolt to make parts move. We then could put this remote onto the armor to control it from a distance or just shut it down.

Rachel says, "Do you get what I'm suggesting?""

Roland nods, "That might work. My only concern is coming up with something that MY armor is vulnerable to as well. You can understand that, I hope."

Rachel nods "The difference is I think this would only work on armors not properly insulated against electrical jolts
