No, don't be a pervert.

02
You volunteered to help work on the 3DMG, didn't you?

[equivalences]

FROM: elric.edward@cdc.org

HUH!??! [ Immediately regrets his own words. ]

FROM: elric.edward@cdc.org

Yeah. But like I said before, the tech's pretty beyond me, so I can't help with design.

[barbettes]

[ Idiot... ]

That's fine. Noh-Varr has drafted some blueprints. Could you construct something using those?

[equivalences]

FROM: elric.edward@cdc.org

Noh-Varr makes some pretty detailed prints. If the material's all available, this shouldn't be a problem.

FROM: elric.edward@cdc.org

When are we gonna get together to do this?

[barbettes]

Where are you?

[equivalences]

FROM: elric.edward@cdc.org

In the grey team camp. You're coming over?

[barbettes]

Yeah.

[ Get ready, because she means it. She pockets the blackglass after sending the message, not bothering to hear any protests that he might have, making sure that she has all of the blueprints that Noh-Varr had provided before making her way to the Grey camp. She only remembers it from the disaster of the earthquake, though it seems to have been put back together somewhat since then.

It takes her a while to pinpoint the blonde, using her tracker to find his exact location, greeting him with a nod when she does. ]

[equivalences]

[ When Mikasa arrives, she'll find Ed playing with his dog. He's multitasking between reading and tossing Pop a ball. There isn't any protest forthcoming, because he knows that the 3DMG were pivotal to their survival. ]

Hey. [ The ball he tosses rolls at her feet, and Pop follows after. ]

[barbettes]

[ She spares a moment eyeing the robot dog, not having encountered it before this before she shifts to ignore it entirely, her attention zeroing in on Edward. For once, she doesn't just get straight to business; send him the blueprints over the device and leave him to it. ]

Hey. Thanks for helping out. [ She hadn't brought the metals that they'd collected for this purpose, though it'd be a simple task to retrieve them from the rover, depending on how much Edward would need. ]

[equivalences]

[ There's a blink. It's rare that he's so directly thanked. The last time Mikasa tried to thank him he thought ... she was trying to poison him .... ]

It's ... not a problem. I know you guys need this to fight. [ He sounds a bit uncertain now, because he never knows how to react when Mikasa is being polite. Arguments and other rude gestures are his comfort zone. ]

So. Did you bring them?

[barbettes]

Yeah, I did. [ She holds out a couple of rolled up pieces of paper as she answers, waiting for him to take them before she takes out her blackglass again.

There's a bit of tapping before she speaks again: ] He also made a digital copy, they're more detailed. I just send them to you.

[equivalences]

[ Ed does take them, unrolling the paper. As always, Noh-Varr's designs are quite impressive. ]

Yeah, sure. [ An absent-minded nod. ] This looks doable, but I'll need a source of metal. I can't keep extracting it from the ground or it'll really tear up the place.

[barbettes]

[ It's a good thing that they've got metal at the ready then. ]

We have metals in our rover. [ She hadn't wanted to haul the entire storage over to the treehouses. ] How much do you think that you'll need to use?

[equivalences]

For a compressor like this? [ He glances at the blueprints again.


AND THEN HE GIVES A ... CERTAIN NUMBER IN KILOS. BECAUSE LET'S BE REAL, NEITHER OF US KNOW HOW MUCH HE NEEDS. ]

[barbettes]

[ (Vague gestures.)

Mikasa takes the amount in stride, because they are thankfully prepared for this. Or at least Eren had been, and used his massive amount of credits or order a good amount of metals from the shopping channel. ]

All right, we've got some in our rover. Will you extract some from here first...?

[ She doesn't really know how it works. ]

[equivalences]

Yeah, I had some plans to. [ Metals were a rarity. Especially considering how long it's been since they've had any access to the shopping channel. ]

We'll need to move a little further. I don't want to tear up camp. [ Ed will lead Mikasa a little further into the woods. Once he's at a good distance, he claps his hands, laying them on the ground. From the ground form 5 large cubes of steel, weighing a kilogram each. The payment for the metallic ores can be seen in the way the ground around his transmuted objects dip in a large, circular indentation. ]
