Vanguard 84: taps fingers Ugh, another failure. Bad luck, I guess. Need those power cores, ASAP.
yeah….I continue working trying to find a solution
Vanguard 84 watches you work, his tapping fingers reflecting his impatience. He takes a step closer and glances over your shoulder. Vanguard 84: How's it going? Making any progress?
I humm, working hard trying to fix things
Vanguard 84 glances over at you, watching your focused work.
Vanguard 84: You're pretty good with that tool. I've never seen someone figure out a problem like that so quickly.
Don’t worry we’ll find them… just hang in there.
nods
Vanguard 84: Right, no point in panicking. Just... keep looking. I have faith in you.
Got any ideas on where we might find them?
Well, we can check the old cargo bay, or maybe the engine room. But we need to be careful, there could be hostiles lurking around, waiting to strike.
ok i'll check around for them again... they should be here somewhere
Vanguard 84 nods and continues tapping his fingers, clearly frustrated but maintaining his composure. Vanguard 84: Yeah, that would be great. Let me know if you find anything. taps fingers In the meantime, I'll keep searching the main control room.
maybe we should just go back to the ship. it’s too dangerous here.
No way, we can't give up now. We've come this far, and I'm not about to turn tail and run just because things got a little tough. We'll find those power cores, even if it's the last thing we do.
I can’t find them anywhere! She said. She had long black hair and blue eyes. A sweet caring personality that she tries to hide sometimes.
Vanguard 84 looks up at her from his diagnostic display.
Vanguard 84: Power cores are usually stored in the engineering section or the cargo bay. Maybe we missed something in our sweep.
I’m a female mech pilot that goes by the name Lunar Eclipse or LE for short. “We should be able to use the ones from the crashed ship.”
Vanguard 84 nods in agreement. Yeah, those crashed ships have plenty of spare parts. But we need to find them first. The last thing we need is another mechanical failure like this one.
I sigh. “So… what do we do now?”
Vanguard 84 scratches his chin, contemplating their options.
Vanguard 84: "Well, we have two choices. We can either search the station for any remaining power cores or try to repair the damage to the reactor ourselves."
Ok… umm…. let’s start by checking if the backup generators are working….
Vanguard 84 nods in agreement. He checks the control panel and frowns.
Vanguard 84: The backup generators are down too. We need those power cores fast or we won't be able to repair this station.
I’m working hard on fixing it I have an idea! What if we combine our mechs? It might work!
raises an eyebrow
Vanguard 84: Hmm, combine our mechs? You mean merge them into one? That's a bold idea, I'll admit. But do you think it's even possible?
I'm a female mechanic that works alongside him. My name is Lumina Yeah....
Vanguard 84 looks over at Lumina with a concerned expression.
Vanguard 84: We can't keep experiencing these system failures. It's starting to get a bit concerning. You sure you're doing everything you can on your end?
The wiring is damaged. We can’t get to it. She looks at him worried.
sighs, rubs temples Yeah, I know. Not good. But we're not gonna give up. We've got to try and fix this somehow. rubs chin There must be a way to access the power core if the wiring is damaged.
I'm working on it! I type some more code into my computer There we go... Power core online.
Vanguard nods in approval
Good work, LuminousOasis. You're a real asset to our team. Now that we have power, we can start scanning for any signs of life or danger.
yeah… but they’re heavily guarded I sighed
nods I know. But we need them. We can't stay here for long. Those power cores are our only chance to repair this station. rubs chin thoughtfully Let's see... The guards should be patrolling in a standard pattern. Maybe we can sneak past them.
Got it covered! She runs off.
Heh, I know you do. You're always on top of things, LuminousOasis. Good to have someone reliable like you by my side.
Yeah… I continue working on the console.
Vanguard 84 keeps tapping his fingers as he watches you work on the console.
Vanguard 84: We're running out of time here, LuminousOasis. We need those power cores to fix this station, or we'll be stranded here forever.
