Sneakery

[complicatedcop]

Zam Tolen hadn't been seen a whole lot around the ship. She had disappeared during Lirath and generally wasn't the most available though she was still hitting her Security patrols.

It was late at what passed for night on the ship, as she went to several places. Special Weapons was one place, where she was...building something. With no plans or references, just from her head.

The hangar was another place, where she was gutting a spaceship of certain pieces, shoulder deep in starship.

[ooc: She can be found at either place, just specify where she is.]

The wunderkind had invented and made a lot of very incredibly complicated things without schematics during her life in Black Hole, but they were in no way this amazingly complicated. As the project grew she became even less subtle in looking over until she had slowly stopped coping notes made her way over to what the lady was building and stared at it with a wide, appreciating grin.

She had no idea what it was supposed to do, but damn, did it look awesome. Yet, she amazingly didn't utter a word even if she had the annoying tendancy to ask a million questions. She just couldn't. Lash hadn't met that many people who could do such skill this flawlessly and perfectly, and she was honestly awed by it all.

"D'you mind? I'm workin' here."

[thewunderkind]

Well that brought her down back into reality fast.

"Sorry," she said, stepping a little bit farther away. "I didn't know you could build stuff that cool." She meant it, too. "But I know how it is to have people over your shoulders messing up concentration. I used to shoot people back at home--wait I should be telling that to a security guard. Uh just pretend I didn't say that part."

Quick as a flash, she went back to her doodling, but it was very obvious to see that she was completed distracted by this shining new toy being assembled now.

I wonder what it does?

"It creates a restraint field, in case you're wondering. Standard Science Police issue. Had to build one out of spare parts before one time when I got caught when I was undercover. Locked in a mobster's basement just waiting for them to kill me."

[thewunderkind]

Yeap, Lash had just caught a case of the totally fangirl mode. Building stuff out or spare parts while undercover? That sounded a lot more exciting than she had given the lady for. But you know, can't have her say that out loud, that would somehow lower her street cred. Lash was very weird.

"That's really neat!" She could only imagine that terrible mayhem she could do with something like that. "I've made a few for fortresses in my world, but they were much, much bigger than those and not as tiny and compact!"

[complicatedcop]

"Everything's pretty damn compact where I come from."

He shot Lash a slight smile and went back to work.

"Anyway, this is one of the only things I worked out how to make."

[thewunderkind]

"Really? Considering you made one with spare parts and then built this one without..well I don't see plans around you, you seem to have a natural talent for it" A pause. "Name's Lash, by the way." She shoved away one of the other pieces of equipment, stretched her arms and yawned.

"Anyway, while I'd like to stay here until that machine of yours is ready and operational, I've gotta go to Zett--Outsider's Hotel." Yes. Excellent save. "But I do wanna see that machine work once it's done sometime!"
