The door to engineering swung open to admit the First officer. He glanced round till he saw Tell and jaqwi' bent over an open access plate.

HIchop calls out to Tell "I need some upgrades to my suit. I need thrusters and a way to navigate if I end up in space. If you need help ask Jeeves for anything you need to know about the suit."

HIchop enjoyed insulting Tell probably too much. She was probably the best engineer he had ever met Federation or Klingon but telling her was not going to happen.

Tell stood up when she heard HIchop's voice. She wiped her greasy hands on a rag. "So the apprentice returns to the Master." She replied sarcastically, "You'd better suit up then after all these things take time."

As HIchop moved towards the Hold, where the Giant war suit was stored, JaqwI' stepped forward, "be'wI DatIchmoH."

He laid a resounding back hand across HIchop's face. HIchop's eyes flashed with anger for a moment then he glanced at Tell and nodded, "ToH! tIch'e qajatlhbej. For now, my suit."

They trio arrived int he hold and HIchop climbed into the rigging of the suit. As he did so Tell though she saw his expression change; become harder.

OOC: The suit weighs a fair amount and is not designed with SIF to maintain atmosphere. You will need an independent fuel source for the RCS steering jets and any force fields. Since there is a neural interface, HIchop cannot just wear a space suit. The extra generator will either need to be big enough to impair function or small enough that it will have a limited supply of power and maneuverability.

Hichop grunted to Tell not even seeing JaqwI anymore "When you put this on don't make it too big. I just need to point and thrust. If I had this when we were on that station I could have had jumped back to the ship."

"Lets get started then." the engineer replied as she donned on her overall and equipment belt full of interesting things including some that HIchop didn't even want to ask about. She retrieved an item from her belt that for all intense purposes looked like a screwdriver. Tell turned it over a few times and pressed a few buttons then held it up in front of HIchop. A bright light went on.

With a pop the Hold light went out, plunging them into darkness.

Tell released a few Klingon expletives, some Jaqwi' didn't recognise but that was Tell and he didn't seem to mind one bit. But what on earth a granny had to do with a wagon was a bit beyond his understanding so he just nodded in agreement.
