Test, Test and more Test! [Open]

If there was one thing Lowe liked to do, it was design new stuff to help others. Didn't matter what it was, if he could build it, he'd do it. And as it stood, the ship needed a lot of help.

Case in point - within Engineering, Lowe was busy designing a set of special armors. Those armors being those to be worn by the Knight Sabers, the group Sylia had announced. Thanks to a few things given to him by Sylia herself, he was on his way to recreating the armors for the other girls. A few modifications and he designed one for himself, though only for testing. He had ideas for what to include, but he didn't want to risk the other armors in doing so.

[Lowe, are you certain this'll work?] 8 asked from a nearby table.

"Of course it will, 8!" Lowe replied. "Sylia's designs and all. At the very least, I'll might have to make a few modifications along the way, but..."

"How are things coming along?"

Sylia didn't like to crowd her mechanics. Nigel always appreciated it when she gave him some space to work, though she did always see to it he was well taken care of. Lowe was no exception, and she arrived in Engineering with a small tray of sandwiches made of the precious real food.

She smiled warmly as she set the sandwiches alongside him, pausing to look at what he was working on.

"That's a new one."

"Hmm?" Lowe uttered before seeing Sylia enter with the food. "Oh, hey! Things are doing swell, actually! Hopefully, I can get everything up and running soon!"

Noticing the sandwiches, Lowe went for one before she took notice of the fifth. "Hmm? Oh, this? I like to consider it a testbed for anything that could be used for the other four. Though, to test it, I have to wear it, so... hope you don't mind..." he grinned sheepishly before taking a bite of the sandwich. "Mmm, this is good. Hope it isn't my last meal...!"

"I don't mind at all," she replied. "In fact, it's very industrious of you. But..."

She paused, biting her lip a bit. "But you'll have to be careful not to push yourself too hard with the mental link. The engineering in place for my own designs is based on the brain patterns of a woman, and I'm afraid it might not be safe for you unless we do a little tweaking first."

Lowe almost choked on his sandwich when he heard that bit. It never occurred to him that the armor would have to act a certain way. It was probably a good thing she told him that before he actually put it on.

"...whew... thanks for the heads up, then, Sylia." he replied. "Next thing you know, I could be in a bad situation... guess I owe you one for that, huh?"

"I never made a hardsuit that a man could wear... simply because I didn't have a man around to wear it," she laughed. "My mechanic, Nigel, wanted nothing to do with the action, and my brother..." Well, he probably would have loved to wear a hardsuit, but couldn't, for obvious reasons. "It was unsafe for him."

She turned around and sat up on the bench to watch him work. "I would love to create a man's suit, though. This can be our special project."

Lowe never realized how different things would be between the Hardsuits and Mobile Suits. Whole new systems, new designs, that sort of thing. His overeagerness almost got him hurt as well, if it wasn't for Sylia's warnings. Though, it seemed that she was more than willing to help him out with this... was she flirting with that last statement? Sure sounded like it!

"Well, um... alright, then!" Lowe said, doing his darnedest not to blush. "It just might help us both in the end...!"

"Hey Lowe," greeted Reimi as she bustled into the engineering department. "Whatcha doing?"

Lowe looked back and smiled noticing Reimi. "Oh, hey, Reimi! Just working of a few finishing touches one some of these armors!" he said, patting one of them. "I'm also working on one for myself... mostly as a testbed for stuff I'd think might help it along."

"Oh really? Wow they look... feminine. Really feminine." She leaned in and looked at the feet. "Are those high heels?"

"Eheh... y-yeah, they are. Sylia's specs and all." Lowe said, grinning sheepishly. "Looks like she's going for functionality and style here. Though, between you and me, I'm a tad confused as to why she needs high heels for these..."

"Well I suppose it works, though I feel better off with flats," admitted Reimi as she stamped her foot a little. "But they do have an interesting style to them."

"That they do, I have to agree." Lowe said. "But, hey, can't argue with the lady - her work, her way!" He shrugged as he said that.

"I'm curious, though - what brought you here?"

"Oh uh well I just decided to get out and around today and sort of wandered in here," said Reimi with an embarrassed rub of her head. "Just really zooming around."

Lowe couldn't help but laugh. "Oh, I understand completely!" At that, an idea came to him. "Say, I have an idea! Care to give one of these a small test? I'm curious to see if they do work!"

"Really? You think Sylia wouldn't mind?" inquired Reimi. "I wouldn't want to mess anything up..."

"I'm sure she wouldn't mind. 'Sides, it would probably be helpful if we know they do work and not out in the field!" Lowe said, pulling aside one of the armors, currently a drab gray color. "Who knows? Maybe she'll let you in as well!"

"Ah, I'm not too good at hand to hand, but I have a lot of skill with piloting..." She rubbed her head. "Alright, let's give it a go."

"Well, I'm sure I can modify yours to use range weaponry should you want to join in!" Lowe said, opening the armor. The way its designed, though, pretty much doesn't a lot of room for comfort. "Might be able to slide on in... though by the looks of it, it doesn't seem a lot of room."

Reimi nodded, privately realizing that her boobs would be smushed inside but she grit and bore it, sliding into the outfit and wincing at the pinching. "Pinches a little," she admitted, clasping the suit with some difficulty and breathing in to keep her chest from being squeezed too much.

"Mmm... Note to self - try to get measurements. Better ask Sylia for those. I'd get smacked if I did that myself." Lowe mused as Reimi squeezed in. "Well, I'm guessing that's more because of how it's designed. I'm sure a few adjustments would make it a bit comfortable...!"

"You think you can move around a bit? Nothing too strenuous."

"I'll give it a shot." Trying to relax, she moved her arm and it whirred a little, waggling it up and down. "A little tight but that might be because of my size," admitted Reimi.

"Understandable..." Lowe said, nodding. A few moments later, he reached over to stop Reimi. "Here, let's get you out of there..." With that, he began working off the latches and freeing her.

With an audible gasp, Reimi pulled free of the hardsuit with a sigh. "Yeah, you'll have to tailor that to everyone who has a unique, well, stature."

"Yeah... sorry about that..." Lowe said, looking a bit bummed. He probably ended up hurting her doing anything more. "Ah... I guess I could make it up to you for putting you through that..."

Reimi grinned just a little. "Why don't you come and play a few scenarios with me in my game then? I've been trying out Eternal Sphere once in a while and it seems to be pretty fun. Just some mindless stat grinding for a while."
