Zev blinked, looking up at her. "Hm?" he asked. "Oh." he unplugged. "Sure. If you want to."

@gracehustle

"I don't want to, but it needs to get done sooner if you want to get back to your creator." She sighed and stretched her arms out, yawning and knowing that today was going to be painful if it was bright out. And with her luck it would be the sunniest day all year.

@ElderGod-Icefire

Zev nodded a little bit. "Ah. I see." He replied, standing and looking at him.

@gracehustle

Thesa groaned as she walked to the door to the ship, opening it and immediately closing her eyes from the light. It wasn't super bright, but it hurt her eyes still and she just sighed in the entryway, leaning against the wall.

@ElderGod-Icefire

Zev looked at her. "You are hungover." He said reflectively.

@gracehustle

"No shit sherlock," She replied, turning and walking out of the door anyway, "Let's get to work though."

@ElderGod-Icefire

Zev followed her silently. He wondered how well that patch of theirs was holding up for the cockpit window.

@gracehustle

Thesa looked around and half smiled when she saw the package of supplies outside the ship door. Thank goodness for friends that knew people.

@ElderGod-Icefire

Zev looked at the package. "Would you like me to lift it?" He asked.

@gracehustle

"No, we just have to get it open, that's the hard part," She replied, gritting her teeth as she stepped out into the bright sunlight and over to the box. These boxes were always difficult to get into, meaning less people stole things, but also meant more work when opening the box up.

@ElderGod-Icefire

Zev nodded, stepping to the box and examining it. "What can I do?" He asked, bending to get a closer look at the box in front of them.

@gracehustle

Thesa shrugged, walking around the box and looking for anything to help her open it, "The easiest thing to do would be cut it open, but I don't know what's inside. So I would say we should just look for whatever contraption they made to open this." She tapped the sides, ran her hands over the box and basically tried every method to find a lever or way to open the box, with no success.

@ElderGod-Icefire

Zev nodded, and got to work figuring out how to open it. he examined the box, using his hands to gently search for an opening mechanism.

@gracehustle

Soon it seemed to Thesa that they would just have to break open the crate and risk damaging whatever supplies were inside. She didn't really want to, but after a few minutes she shrugged and sighed, "How difficult can they make it to get into this? It's impossible to open."

@ElderGod-Icefire

Zev shrugged a little bit. "Let me try." he found the cracks, where the box had been welded together, and began to pry the box apart at the seams.

@gracehustle

"Holy….you're strong," She commented as she saw the metal bend like it was putty under his hands. Thesa now figured that the reason they couldn't get it open was because the metal box was part of their supplies to fix the ship.

@ElderGod-Icefire

Zev shrugged a little bit, prying it open enough to be able to see what was inside. "I am an Android. I am designed to be." He replied as he stood up again.

@gracehustle

"Still…" She said, trailing off as she tried to look over his shoulder at what was inside, "Is it supplies? What's in there?"

@ElderGod-Icefire

Zev shrugged. "I don't know." He replied calmly.

@gracehustle

"Could you open it up all the way?" She asked, her tone implying the manners she didn't bother to use, "That way I can see whats inside?"

@ElderGod-Icefire

Zev nodded, and finished prying the box wide open. He stepped back when he was done so that she could see inside.

@gracehustle

She quickly took his spot once the box was opened and both groaned and laughed, "Harlin, Teagan, you two have a hilarious sense of humor." It seemed like they had given them all the parts they might need to repair the front of her ship, along with some papers that resembled fake directions for all the parts kept in small bags with similar parts.

@ElderGod-Icefire

Zev was quiet, raising his eyebrows a little bit. He examined the contents of the box, then looked at her.

@gracehustle

Thesa grabbed the few papers that were sitting in the bottom of the box and leafed through them, tossing away the ones that didn't have any use and keeping the ones they actually needed, "At least they gave us the paperwork for a new front glass shield."

@ElderGod-Icefire

Zev nodded a little bit. "That's good." He replied. He tipped his head to one side.

@gracehustle

"Yeah," She replied, standing up and stretching her arms with a sigh, "Well, should we start on the outside of the ship or the inside? Both need better repairs than the ones we were able to do out on your ship."

@ElderGod-Icefire

Zev shrugged slightly. "I do not know. It is your choice. And it was not my ship." he replied.

@gracehustle

thesa shrugged, rolling her eyes, "You're the only one I saw in the ship so I'm generalizing that it's your ship." eventually she just sighed, "Let's start with the outside, I don't want my baby looking terrible when we meet Alexi."

@ElderGod-Icefire

Zev nodded. "Alright. Where first?" he asked, cocking his head at her. "The cockpit?"

@gracehustle

"Yeah," She nodded, starting to search through the crate of things for parts to start working on the ship, "Could you go inside the ship for a minute and grab my tools? They're stashed under my bed."
