Rhodes Island Landship "Lutra Workshop"
<Background 1>
Mayer	Ooh, looks like it's about time. Gotta get to work now. Lemme see the schedule for today. Mmm... Mmyeah, works for me. Let's get around to Maggy's "Improvement proposals for Drone Dragonfly operation" and polish off my submissions for today. Get around to the rest later. Then I just gotta wait for her. Doing maintenance on Saria's armor? Main thing should be giving it a new coat of paint... crap, did I not order paint?! Arghh–we're good, we're good. Didn't use it up last time. Main focus for today'll be that. If I get the time, I'll send some orders for a couple new parts. Then I can give all my frontline Meeboos some real maintenance. Mm-hm. Today's lineup, sorted. Let's kick it off!
<Background fades out and in>
???	Mayer! Mayer, open the door! It's urgent!
Mayer	Not too happy about Saria's suit here... Wonder why it can't charge up properly. Weird. C'mon, where's the problem, officer?
???	Mayer! I know you're in there! I hear you talking!
Mayer	Rooound here? Ah-hah~ Gotcha. Prime suspect found. We're on Easy Street now.
???	Don't make me do it!
Mayer	Just need to restore a failed node, and the whole suit should be back up and working again. Uh-huh. Optimize charge circuits first. Paint over next. You'll be back to regular service in no time. D'you want some extra features while I'm at it? Hmm.
[A vampire Sarkaz barges into Mayer's workshop.]
???	Ugh. I don't know if Kal'tsit's gonna chew me out for abusing privileges... Who cares. Your fault for acting deaf, Mayer. Mayer!
Mayer	Settled. Check over your nodes one more time. Gonna be a pain once the paint gets all in you.
[The vampire approaches Mayer, who are immersed in her work.]
???	Working with earphones in? Aren't you worried someone's gonna spook you? Mmm... Hm-hmm– (Claps Mayer's shoulder)
Mayer	(Opens mouth and bites)
???	Waaagghahagh!!! Ow, ow! Let go of me, damnit, let go of me!! I'm a BAD meal!
<Background fades out and in>
???	You really blew it, Mayer. I had something good for you, and you wouldn't even open the door for me. Plus, you bit me...
Mayer	Sorry, Closure. But, like, you know I bite when someone interrupts my work.
Closure	Owwieeee.
Mayer	Fine, I'll let you bite me too, then. Fair's fair?
Closure	You're applying anti-Originium paint to a suit right now, I see?
Mayer	Sure am.
Closure	Pass, then. I bite you here and one moment later I'll be in Medical. Not worth it.
Mayer	Eh, I guess you're not wrong. Mmm... Closure?
Closure	What's up?
Mayer	The door's stuck open. I specifically remember setting it up to automatically open and close. Pretty sure I also set it a moment ago to "do not disturb." Did you just hack my door?
Closure	Uhh– No way~~ It was like that when I walked in. Your door just wasn't locked.
Mayer	Didn't I lock it? ...Weird. Can you gimme a moment? I'll check the tapes.
Closure	! You put a camera up?!
Mayer	I got a lotta sensitive Rhine material in here, y'know? It'd be bad news for all of us if I lost something. Gotta take basic security measures.
Closure	Nah, you should get back to work for now... R– Remember your health and safety regs. This paint's, uh, pretty dangerous, yeah? Things could go wrong with you trying to multitask!
Mayer	It's fine, I've got mechanical arms on it. Hmm, which program was it again?
Closure	Er, Mayer, don't you think this paint's gonna go volatile soon?
Mayer	? That paint? It's fine, sheesh. It's inert. You could dump it in boiling water and ionize it for three hours, freeze it, and it'd still be good to go the moment it thaws. Is this the folder? OK, monitor program, on.
Closure	!
Mayer	Time seek to–
Closure	Mayer! Let's make smart robots together!
Mayer	—
Closure	Mayer?
Mayer	—!
Closure	M–Mayer?
Mayer	What did you just say? Could–Could you repeat that?
Closure	Make some smart robots with me?
Mayer	Sure!
Closure	Then let's work specifics somewh–
Mayer	(Presses monitor feed transmission toggle)
Bzzzz–
Monitor Feed	(Sound of door opening) Ugh. I don't know if Kal'tsit's gonna chew me out for abusing privileges... Who cares. Your fault for acting deaf, Mayer.
Mayer	......
Closure	......
Mayer	Meeboos. Get her ass.
[A number of meeboos appear and ganged up on Closure.]
Meeboos	—
Closure	AaaaghhI'msorryit'smyfault don't sic the Meeboos on me ow ow ow ow waaaghhhhh!!!
<Background fades out and in>
Mayer	Yeah, go on. What was it you wanted me for?
Closure	Uwaaahh... I wanted you to help me with an explosive-type thingy... Underlying machine's a Raythean Challenger Hellcat high-performance operation platform... Topside already has a custom-ordered full-thermal Arts impact generator... But it's not working a hundred percent perfect, so I need your help... Uwaaahh...
Mayer	Yeah, okay. Just take a sniff of this first.
Closure	Okaaaayhhh... (Inhale) ! I know this! (Takes a deep breath)
Mayer	You better now?
Closure	Hahhhh~~~~ Better! Eheheheh. Thanks, Mayer.
Mayer	We're not gonna get any business done with you bawling your eyes out.
Closure	True that, heheh.
Mayer	Still dunno why you love sniffing the refined lubricant I have in here...
Closure	Well, 'cause it smells good, duh.
Mayer	Guess Warfarin wasn't wrong. There's no blood in your veins, just machine oil. Enough of that. Let's get real.
Closure	Aye-aye.
Mayer	You need me to refit the Raythean Challenger. Raise its attack power. Right?
Closure	Also, self-defense, damage resist, and evac plans. After all, we're gonna put a smart little guy in there. Can't have it breaking after one use.
Mayer	Then you came to the right person. Now. My reward?
Closure	Remember how there was a little hoard in the hangar? As long as you–
Mayer	I'll take the job!
Closure	Heheh. Let's get along, partner.
Mayer	Gettin' along, gettin' along~ But, uh.
Closure	What?
Mayer	See the blackboard over there?
Closure	Covered in sticky notes?
Mayer	Yeah. That's my schedule. Even if as a rush job, your commission still lands bottom-right of the very last note.
Closure	Uhh– Any way I can jump the queue?
Mayer	No, sirree.
Closure	So in other words, two months.
Mayer	Work fast, it'll be fifty days.
Closure	Huh? Do you really work that fast?!
Mayer	Decently. Sometimes inspiration hits and the work's done.
Closure	Er... I'll leave you to it, then... Good luck with work!
Mayer	Hold it!
Closure	Huh?
Mayer	You format the door for me first. I need to do its settings over. Also, strip your sys-op authority off it. Right now. Straight away. Giddy up.
Closure	Uhh– Awright...
<Background fades out and in>
Two hours later...
Mayer	Just the laaast bit–
[Someone knocks the door.]
Ding dong!
Magallan	Mayer, it's me. Um... Did you change the password? Is that why the door's not opening?
Mayer	And that should be about done. Huh? Someone at the door again?
Magallan	It's me!
Mayer	Maggy! The door's broken! Push the button on the side and come in!
[Magallan opens the door and enters the workshop.]
Magallan	Hi, you.
Mayer	Heyo. I'm still busy with something for Saria here. Can't lay out the carpet for you. So, you need something from me?
Magallan	I made a reservation. Drone plans. Wondering how they're doing?
Mayer	Huh... oh! That. Already done. Listed out some technical essentials, improvement proposals and required materials. Everything's in that file on the table there. You look through, and if it's all good, we can set up a new time to help you make some fitting parts. If you've got issues with it, we'll have a meeting about it.
Magallan	Rightie. Thanks, Mayer. Which file on which table is it?
Mayer	That one, that one.
Magallan	Your mechanical arms are pointing at at least four different tables. How should I know which one? Mayeeer–
Mayer	Ahhh don't pull me! I'm still painting here!
Magallan	You can leave paint and keep painting later. Help me find the files first, okay? Mayeeeer~~
Mayer	I get it.
Magallan	Mm-hm. Thankies~
Mayer	Mmn–it's this one.
Magallan	Oh... These are your expensed items for last month.
Mayer	Oh, sorry. I meant this one.
Magallan	Mmm... Yep, that's it! Thank you, Mayer!
Mayer	Ain't no thang. Just what I oughta do.
Magallan	Then I'll be heading out now. Bye-bye. Ah. I almost forgot the most important part! Can I ask you what the time is right now?
Mayer	Noon, right?
Magallan	Afternoon already! Mayer, have you eaten yet?
Mayer	Huh? You mean me? I eat an energy bar and I'm fine.
Magallan	That's no good! Here, take this!
Mayer	This is?
Magallan	I bought it at the cafeteria. They had the freshwater stuff you love today. I wanted you to come eat with me, but then I lost track of time myself... So after I finished eating, I got a portion bagged up to bring over.
Mayer	Ooh, thanks.
Magallan	Make sure you eat it.
Mayer	Mm-hm, I will.
Magallan	......
Mayer	Anything else?
Magallan	Is this Saria's Charged Suit?
Mayer	That it is.
Magallan	How much longer will you be working?
Mayer	An hour or two-ish.
Magallan	Well, that's no good. Let me help you out there.
Mayer	It's fine, I can do it.
Magallan	Either you let me help you, or I feed you your meal. Pick one.
Mayer	Ugh... Alright fine I get it! Give me a hand.
Magallan	Hehe~ Then let's get to work~
<Background fades out and in>
Mayer	Phew. We're done.
Magallan	Good work.
Mayer	C'mere and wash your hands.
Magallan	Alright–
Mayer	*Sigh*... It's only times like these I miss all of Rhine's self-cleaning facilities.
Magallan	So why don't you go back?
Mayer	If I went back, they'd set me up with a mountain of annoying work, and I'd have no time to improve my Meeboos. And, like, I had to deal with interpersonal stuff there too.
Magallan	Like you don't have to here?
Mayer	You're always out on fieldwork. You don't know all the politics and warring between sections. Over there, right? You'd make a new friend one day, turn around, and bam, someone tells you "they're from the blah-blah section, best you stay away from them." And what's worse is even if you're in the same section, sometimes your bosses are competing and you're all trying to drag each other down. That's stuff I'm, like, just not good at dealing with. So I ended up scarpering here.
Magallan	I see... Sorry, I shouldn't have asked you about...
Mayer	It's okay... Alright, let's eat.
Magallan	Then I should be on my way. Meeboos, can I ask you to keep an eye on her? Otherwise she'll go straight back to work the moment I'm gone.
Mayer	My Meeboos don't have voice modules. They won't answer you.
Magallan	I still have to nag you. Okay then. This time I'm really off. Bye-bye.
Mayer	Bye bye.
[Magallan leaves the workshop.]
Mayer	Hmm, maybe I should put those part orders through before I eat– Whuah! What the hell are you doing, Meeboos?!
Meeboos	—
Mayer	It's just a little bit of work. I'm not gonna forget to eat.
Meeboos	—
Mayer	Ugh... Fine, I get it, I'm eating, I'm eating now!
<Background fades out and in>
Mayer	Phew, I'm stuffed. Alright, work! Mmm, order parts first or fix some Meeboos first?
Meeboos	—
Mayer	Meeboos win out, yeah. Meeboos are more important. C'mere.
Meeboos	—
Mayer	Lemme see– Touch up paint, inspect wiring, update data, replenish energy. That's what Meeboo maintenance is made of... ...... Better! Still four more on mission duty, and my five reserve ones need servicing too. What time is it, again? Looks like I can get 'em done today. Mmm... Probably. Probably can. As long as nobody else–
[Someone knocks the door.]
???	Mayer! Open up!! Work needs you!
Mayer	——— Oh, c'mon, for fffff~!~#!... *Huff*, *huff*. Stay cool. In– out, in– out. Smile~ Alright.
[An R.I. operator enters the workshop.]
???	Whoa, so you're in. What's got you all smiles and rainbows?
Mayer	You come here. I'll tell you.
???	Sure–
Mayer	See? This is a Meeboo.
???	I know.
Mayer	Stick your hand out. It's got something good for you.
???	Huh, don't hear that every day. Wonder what it is?
Mayer	Meeboo, get his ass.
Meeboos	—!
???	Aaaaarggh-don't-bite-me-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow!!!
<Background fades out and in>
Late night
[Mayer finished all her work for the day.]
Mayer	Ahhh– finally. All done! Everything I planned this morning is all done!
Meeboos	—
Mayer	Ahh– that doesn't count. I made the executive decision just now to move ordering parts to tomorrow.
Meeboos	—
Mayer	Lemme see what I gotta do tomorrow. Go to the Procurement Department and order parts. Need to install test equipment for Medical. Oh, gotta debug my workbench again. That should settle tomorrow's lineup. Time is... 11:36. Mm, yeah, I should crash. Eat a bowl of instant noodles and then sleep. See you tomorrow, Meeboos.
Meeboos	—
[The meeboos, seemingly annoyed on Mayer, attacks her, knocking her down.]
<Background black>
Mayer	Agh– ow, ow!
