Sam's savoring some proper sweet and milky tea and a warm afghan biscuit as he mutters over his datapad.

There must be a better way to make Death's shoulder joints move smoothly and with more power but he can't see it.

On the pad, 3D mock ups of tendons and complex engineering mathematics trade places, he can do this.

"Yeah, right? It's like magical map making or something."

Once they get to the ground, Chuck waves Sam over to a golf cart. He'd had to take his trash up today, so he'd brought the thing with him.

"I wonder how specific she can get,"

The golf cart's easy and Sam sits down peering around at everything, its a good space.

Chuck points to Tacit Ronin, in passing -- the Jaeger in ripped up shape, supported by a competent scaffold Chuck took close to a year building.

They're discussing how to source and move parts when Chuck pulls into Nova Hyperion's row.

The Jaeger looks all right from down low, steady on her feet, but Chuck waves Sam to follow him. There's a few harnesses at the foot of the spikes jutting out the side of her, so when they get to the joints they can secure themselves.

"Ready to check her out?"

[makesthings]

"Yeah."

This is home, a harness to climb a Jaeger and he follows Chuck to the knee. Knees always get a lot of damage and they start talking and working. Engineering is a hell of a lot easier when there's a Ranger who can talk about the feel of a joint and gets the mechanics.
