Get Over It [Open]

 So, she'd gone and passed out and gotten quite a lot of sleep. Since then, she'd been doing her best to catch up in terms of training and preparedness. Apparently there was a new group of people flying things called Mobile Suits (which were basically like Evas, except smaller and not as good) and they had their own group.

Or something.

Asuka wouldn't have wanted to work with them anyway. Unit 02 needed no backup! At least, that was her thought. But it'd been a while since she'd taken it out for a spin (and what had ever happened to that guy who was working on a fusion generator for her). She'd have to look into that. Again. At least she wouldn't have to go through basic.

She adjusted her duty jacket, perched on the shoulder of her Eva in the hangar bay. The entry plug was deployed - out and waiting for her climb into it if she wanted, but the damn thing wasn't ready for that yet. She needed LCL, a whole support network, so many things that she didn't have at the moment. She groused to herself and then headed for the catwalk surrounding the monstrous machine. Maybe she should go poke at her X-Wing instead.

"A cold fusion core. It'll sort of look like a backpack for the unit, I suppose, but I wanted it to look somewhat flush with the machine. I'm certain you don't need to look like any more of a target, correct?"

Stephen nodded there, mostly to himself, and then continued. "It will be jettisonable if necessary, and I do have plans for replacements if that's also necessary, but I certainly hope not. I actually put the schematics in Engineering as well."

And for a moment there, he looked quite smug. But it didn't last long.

"I hope that meets your expectations?"

"Cold fusion?" That was still theoretical where Asuka came from. She tried to contain the little shriek of delight that really made her look and sound like the teenager she was. "Are you kidding? That's not even possible where I'm from! Not... theoretically anyway! That'd be great! It sounds fantastic!"

Oh, the resulting smile was even more smug. If that was possible.

"It was my pleasure, Miss Soryu, I assure you. I'd still like to run some diagnostics when it's attached to its proper moorings to make certain everything's running as it should, but I'd like to make sure I go through the proper channels, of course."

And there was still the matter of getting the fusion core from his lab to the Eva itself.

"You have to show me all the calculations you had to run! It must be so cool!" Yeah, she's a kid. She almost hugs him before she stops herself and tries to get back to proper behavior. But there's still nervous energy in her, still that excitement. She stalks back and forth on the catwalk for a moment.

"I can't wait until I can actually pilot this thing again! I've missed it so much!"
