Looking over Eno’s work, Tiv will compliment her: Nice job Eno. This stuff ain’t easy. Let me just make a little tweak here. And…there! Complete. That will work just fine! Thank you you very much! You have a natural talent!
Eno accepts Tiv’s praise humbly:
I am pleased my inexperienced efforts were helpful. I will try to do better in future.
Tiv thinks this is her habitual defensive self-effacement.
To Yumi: Hidden in plain sight! How does that old saying go?… Audentes Fortuna Juvat.
Now, Yumi, if you can find some clothes that fit you, I owe you an outfit.
Looking up from his work: If all that’s available, I believe Eno has some plain clothing available. Sorry, not likely our best fashion. But feel free to look for something that interests you. Eno, would you be so kind...
Yumi:
Owe? Not really. But I never say no to a new look.
Eno takes her into the ship.
Some time later, they re-emerge. Yumi is still wearing her jumpsuit, but she has several neatly folded garments in a shoulder-bag made of some very thin material.
Thing doesn’t need to be bright to be fresh. Stale to you, drama elsewhere.
Yumi and Eno have not bonded. Eno is smoothly polite and self-effacing, Yumi treats her with an almost Oghman acceptance of service.
Nonetheless, the two women move aside to work together – Yumi talking, Eno doing.
Eno summons Remington to assist, and the two slaves combine their skills to make Yumi’s ideas work.
He ensures the repair bot has the proper tools in his toolkit along with the the line tap connections, comdots and micro audio-visual devices. He’ll send it forth to do its job loaded with hangar access code:
1) connecting the line tap outside the hangar
2) access the hangar and install the entryway line tap and an audio-visual device
3) move to the hangar bay to install the line tap and audio visual device
4) look for hangar bay support equipment to discreetly lay a commdot near the ship
5) place a Comm dot in the living quarters area
6) place a Comm dot in the hangar cargo storage area
Assuming everything works, he’ll send the encrypted feed to the Serpent’s bridge and request the serpent translate the Aslan for Arnwulf and Yingviodr to gather Intel. The feed will get recorded as well.
Once step one and two are complete, Tiv will send in the security disk to loiter outside the passage leading into the hanger to “piggy-back” with a station bot that is making it’s way into the hanger. It will enter at the same time as the station robot, run its designated route, then loiter until it can depart with that station bot.
Once both the mechanic bot and the security disk have left, he’ll send in the two purchased industrial cleaning robots as a test by “piggy backing” on station robots.
The work-’bot moves off and rides a lift to the public areas, where it walks a rapid circuit before descending in a cargo lift to the hangar section again.
Reaching the Aslan hangar, it climbs the wall, using its “gecko” footpads, and accesses the conduit containing the fibre link. It works swiftly, re-seals the conduit, and moves to the doorway. As it approaches, the station checks its ID, and passes it. The doors part, and the robot passes through. It again climbs to begin its second task, and, apparently, again successfully carries it out uninterrupted. Moving forward, it passes into and through the reception area, before turning left and passing through the door to the “engineering” section. There is a male Aslan in the reception area, sitting at one of the big product-display screens, which is showing several different sub-screen videos. He looks at the work-’bot, but allows it to go on its way.
The robot continues going about its tasks, uninterrupted.
As the work-'bot has completed the steps outlined by Tiv, the disc sets off, taking another circuitous route through the station before arriving in the corridor outside the Aslan hangar, where it waits.
The slower janitor units also set out. Being Blackrock builds these machines are less conspicuous, so their route is more direct.
