Slaytor takes the hit on his hood and right fender, the filaments shredding the filler patches on his hood, and gouging out some new grooves but doing little else, he jolts a bit as the electrified antenna hits his fender. "Argh!" He rolls backwards a little bit, apparently stunned by the blow.
---
Wellington grins, "Roger Wellington at yer service, sir!" He shakes the tire with his fork. "Let's get you up on the lift and 'ave a look." He backs up and clears the path to the mobile lift. "Want me to do a rotation while yer on the rack?"
---
Rico nods. "One time I had to fly with a mild one... I was the only one in my unit still mobile. Carrying an Engineer Hummer and a Sherman. I was so tempted to just open up the ramp, lean back and dump that loud pain in the exhaust port. I had a cabin ache for days thanks to him."
---
Zed grins, "Agreed, I could have used your help with this tracking equipment I got from Tokyo. Lousy thing wasn't recognizing anything. Finally fixed it last night."
(btw, I love my new icon, it looks like Slaytor's getting ready to seriously kick some bumper.)

Cesare grinned cruelly. "Yer gettin' slow, junkheap." He followed that with a pivot and a rimkick.
"Sure, go ahead n' do that." Tex nodded as he rolled onto the lift. "And it's a real pleasure meetin' ya.'

Xeron blinked.
"Just what was the Engineer Hummer and the Sherman doing?" Xeron asked curiously.

Slaytor backs up faster, his expression a little worried, the kick misses him. His eyes however, are locked on Cesare's. --- Wellington grins, and he hoists Tex up a little, pulling out the airwrench and pulling a wheel, scooting over to the balancing machine, starting it, then as it's running he zips back over and pulls another, taking it back over to the machine just as it's finishing it's operation, He takes the balanced wheel back and sets it under the hub he just emptied, then he collects the next one in sequence, taking, balancing and then relocating each one, including pulling the spare and testing it. As the balancer's testing the spare, he replaces all of the wheels, then takes the spare and puts it back too. --- Rico Grins, "The Sherman? He wasn't saying a thing, Just sitting there and looking at his partner, I guess he was used to his antics... He was practically dancing around, asking me if I wanted to buy some organics he got from a factory raid, how he could get some ladies with the money he was gonna make... The tank's name was Bob, the Hummer was Jay." ( Snoochie Boochies!)

"Perhaps it was faulty wiring or a malfunctioning chip," suggested Hydro.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Ebony looks down at Hunter, "At least he understands how hard this is for me to deal with."

Zed nods, "got it on one, I had to crack it open and go through everything with a multimeter... the ranging dial was miswired."

"Ah, I think I might see what the problem was here," said Hydro, "Was it factory-made? Because anything built in that manner isn't as reliable as you think they are."

"Everyone can use a friend like that." Ondine smiled. She put some sandalwood oil in the diffuser and turned it on.
"You need anything, Ebony? Johnny and I are getting something." Darcy asked. It was getting on to dinner time.
"That's some pretty quick work." Tex remarked as Wellington went about his business. "Jean's been after me to do this for days."
Cesare circles again, feinting and darting. His electric antenna lash twirls about teasingly. "Maybe now, maybe not... maybe now, maybe not... and then I'll say hi to your "lady"... little tramp got herself knocked up, huh? I can read the signs as well as anybody. I wonder who Daddy is? Probably not YOU..."

Zed nods, "Trust me, I'm well aware, That's why I test every device before installation."
---
Wellington grins, "Oh ya get good at it quickly when yer the pit crew for a racing team. 'Sides, I been tinkerin' with suspensions fer well onto three decades."
He raises Tex higher and hits the lights, checking his camber, shocks etc. "Are ye feelin a bit stiff in the rear axle sometimes?" He asks.
---
Slaytor starts backing around in a circle, waiting for his moment. The words burned in his mind though, He growled, "Never say that about Ebony!"

"I need something to eat," said Ebony, "I was told that I'd be consuming a lot more than usual because of the little one on the way..."
~~~~~~~~~~
"Right," nodded Hydro, "That's always a good idea. I had to get parts special ordered so I could build my comm devices. This was no easy task, but with Ondine's help, I got what I needed. She has connections through her working relationship with Tex Dinoco."

"Sounds like he got in to the organics already by the time you got to him," said Xeron.
She sank down lower.
"Then again, if you spent ten seconds in the Academy mess hall on a Friday night, it's also pretty horrible," said Xeron.
________________________________________
"Alright. I just never want you to leave me, okay? I also want a lot for Sonya to be right too," said Kamui.
The day had pretty much worn her out. Spending the evening and the night with Slick was just what she needed right now. She then began the affectionate gestures.
But Emily's still here and will probably be a pest. Just what ARE we going to do about her.....?

Zed nods, "Now you got connections directly to Japan, too, My dad owns this import business I helped him start."
---
Rico grins, "Ahh yes, fuel cans flying every direction. He chuckles, I spent my fair share of time getting scratches fixed from that."

"Once in a while, yeah." Tex nodded, "The years gettin' t'me, I suppose."
Cesare's lips spread wider. "Ooooh, that got t'you, didn't it? Well, take THIS back to yer little tramp!" The Maserati snaked his lash out, directly at Slaytor's face and hood. "Let's see how she likes a blind wreck!"
He screamed in frustration as his opponent proved too quick for him, and as engines sounded in the distance. "Just when it was gettin' good. This is FAR from over, Mustang Boy!" he peeled out at last.
"The usual? OK." Darcy nodded and drew back to rejoin Johnny. They crossed the street and turned into Flo's
<<< Sorry to end that fight a little soon, but I have to go out for a couple of hours and it wouldn't have been good to leave you hanging>>>
