Landing Fields 

Walking out from the hangar bay, you are struck by the sheer size of the landing fields. Many craft, of all types, arrive and depart constantly. The image of the chaotic control tower comes to mind, and you are glad not to be there. Several craft are being towed into and out of the massive hangar bays, and through the hangar doors you can see fighters and other ships in various stages of maintenance. Looking around, you are amazed that none of the uproar here can be heard in the park.

Obvious exits: Launch leads to Earth Orbit. Fly  leads to Sky over San Francisco. East  leads to Hangar Bay .

 Noah Wolfe starts piping techno-electronica music over the channel.

 Sam says, "Hello.. radio system is malfunctioning..?"

 Noah Wolfe says, "It is...hey who's playing that...oh just a second. *the music feed dies*  Oh, bloody hell, I had the feed going into the com lines.  My bad."

 Talazia Keldahoff says, "heh. you're silly, Noah."

 Sam says, "Hm. Interesting."

 Talazia Keldahoff says, "hey noah....didja see the Def Leppard Concert yet?"

 Noah Wolfe says, "Y...yes? You were...ah...good up there."

 Talazia Keldahoff grins. "thanks. I thought the band was gonna die in 'Pour some sugar on me'."

 Noah Wolfe says, "Really? Didn't notice that much, it was all spiffy to me.  Not to change the subject, but are you on duty Lieutenant?  I'm working on the FTL drive of that shuttle we used a few days ago.  Need someone to sign off on the parts."

 Talazia Keldahoff says, "Sure....lemme head out there."

<EDC> Noah Wolfe says, "Right, I'll be over by the Banzai."

Talazia Keldahoff trots her way out to the landing area....the top of her flight suit tied around her waist. Noah Wolfe is next to the Banzai with its ramp lowered down. Inside the ship the drive core has been pulled out and taken half way apart with parts laying strewn this way and that but showing a little order.

Noah is reading from a thick manual while typing on a data pad with another listing parts he'll need, along with some he won't need for the shuttle. Noah looks up and raises his eye ridges watching Talazia move. Clearing his throat he 'tries' to act relaxed, even going so far as to try to wipe a few bits of oil and smudge that's caked on one side of his face.

Talazia Keldahoff moves with a grace that belies her size, even though she's wearing the 'strip' of cloth from the concert. "hey noah." She says rather easily. "Got something for me to sign off?"

Noah Wolfe blinks and thinks the sun is getting to him. He says, "Ah, yeah?" He smiles snapping out of his staring, "I mean yes. I do." He pulls the data pad off the manual he's holding and hands it out. He gives a small cough, "A little out of uniform or is that what you wear under the flight suit?"

Talazia Keldahoff hmms? then looks down. "oh, sorry. yeah, I usually wear this under the suit. at least with this on, they stay where they're supposed to." She says holding out her hand. "How bad off was it?"

Noah Wolfe hands the data pad over. The usual parts are on it that comprises a standard 'short legged' FTL jump drives built by Bryant Enterprises, but the other parts of the list are odd. A micro power generator enough to power a few computers or maybe jump start an armor the size of a talon, armor plating, armor mechanicals and electrical bits, and enough parts to comprise a cockpit. He smiles with a flushed look on his face, "Right. If you won't say anything, I won't either then." He looks back up the ramp, "It could have been worse. A few coolant lines ruptured spraying the whole core with coolant. It was a mess." He shakes his head, "But if I can flush the core and clean up all the bits, then it should be ok within a few days." He closes the manual and looks down kicking a small pebble down the ramp as if he's wanting to say something else.

Talazia Keldahoff smiles and takes the datapad before reading it over, then signs it off and hands it back to Noah. "yeah. could've been worse." She then ponders something. "Hey Noah?"

Noah Wolfe looks up killing the internal debate with himself on if he should tell her or not. "Yes?" he looks up, "Ah, before you say anything, I want to tell you something first." He sucks in a breath, "Thank you for saving me back on the research lab, Talazia. I'd like to..." he swallows a little, "...repay it somehow. I owe you afterall."

Talazia Keldahoff smiles quietly. "No thanks is necessary. What're friends for? I'm just glad you got that information cuz......that's what I'm about to ask you about. I talked to Sky Lynx, and He's planning on taking a hike out to the Ion storm to take a look at it. I'm going with them....and I'd like you to come along."

Noah Wolfe asks, "In Sky Lynx? That shouldn't be so bad. He is some kind of super autobot afterall." He takes the data pad and smiles to himself, "Thanks." Alright, parts to fix the Air armor! Noah does feel a little bad that he had to slip it under Talazia's nose though, but it'll be worth it in the end. "So when are we going?" he asks slipping the data pad into a pocket after sending off the .pdf2 file to the Alameda Quartermaster's office, "I'm wondering if it'll be a threat to earth someday."

Talazia Keldahoff says, "hopefully not. Not if we can stop it." She then looks to Noah. "What were the extra parts on the datapad for?""

Noah Wolfe bites his bottom lip and says, "Those were in there? Oh, uh..." he ponders if he should lie or be vague...he does neither, he bends the truth. "I found a place in the pacific that's perfect for a listening post. I thought I could use it as a supply depot in case anyone is stuck out in the ocean and needs a safe haven. It's completely safe and out of the way, but I needed some of those parts for the initial startup." he says.

Talazia Keldahoff raises an eyebrow. "try again, Noah. I know parts for a plane when I see one." She says softly. "and before you ask.....I have my own secret project as well....please come clean and I'll think about......omitting it from a report until we get back from the Ion Storm."

Noah Wolfe drops his mouth and gives half a sneer, as if he's not really wanting to say, but knows he has to so he can get the parts, maybe. "The listening post is the truth and some of the parts is for that. But I found something else there. A protectorate of nations air armor. What the place is...or was, their headquarters. The Protectorate of Nations main military headquarters itself. Jayson and I were looking around for parts there not expecting to find an intact hanger and launch facility, along with a prototype Air armor. At least I think it is. It's certainly bigger than a Talon."

Talazia Keldahoff nods quietly. "All right. Thank you for being honest with me." She says with a smile. "now.....I'm gonna let the EDC find out on their own." She says with a smile. "Just make sure the Protectorate symbols are off that machine when you repaint it."

Noah Wolfe ees with glee, "Thank you thank you!" He sound quite happy his ideas are not going down the proverbial sink. "I owe you, big time Talazia." he says almost looking like he's about to hug her, but stops himself with a smile and rubbing the back of his neck. "Ah, not that you should call me on that you know." he says, trying to cover his own butt. "But yeah, I was going to give it a coat of paint when I put the armor on it. It's just a frame, component, and engines right now. That's how we found it."

Talazia Keldahoff giggles lightly before taking the initiative and hugging Noah. "you're welcome. So far, you're the only one who's seen the Phoenix One. We're covering each other's butts right now." She says with a wink as she pulls away. "Get your stuff ready....once Sky Lynx is ready, we'll be going with him in our Exos."

Noah Wolfe freezes and his eyes go wide, then half closed as he feels the warm body next to his. He's like melted butta! Noah nods and smiles lopsidedly, "Uh huh...no problem." He scratches his head, "So your warthog wasn't a, whatchacallit, authorized custom job?"
