Turn 18: Umm Ramiel is taking his sweet time isn't he?
Yuri, as an orphan, never had friends, but show talents in various fields in his quest to have someone to respect him no matter what kind of human he is, with a smile on his face. Seeing a fellow human on the crew gives him some encouragement, but it seems difficult for him to get Ichiji to stop reading these books. In the meantime, he looks at the mechanics trying to build a Capacitor, and shook his head, as if he was telling them this is NOT right at all (Yuri rolls: 6, Mechanics roll: 5+1), and starts modifying the design for the ship-scale Capacitor, with half as many parts. He compiles the Digital Blueprint and sends the design to Lester.
Ichiji works on Command (6) and managed to improve a bit... however, she remembered that all that time reading books is nice, but field experiance should help. She frees up the books and leaves them next to Yuri once he's done compiling, and sees to work on asking the Ponies around if they'll be interested in R-2 once it's built. She gets asked by some Ponies for a Brainwave Scanner, for finding a better way of finding PDs, X-Rounders, Innovades or Newtypes, without messing with Powered Zeta.
The Crewpony and Clair continue to train, this time shifting focus to Melee (5) and noted a major problem: The Armorlion's dodging ability? Literally non-existant... then again, it's just a Crewpony and not anyone noticable so...
Clair's Melee increased by 1 step
Alice takes time to get the Professionals to modify Exia's blueprint with the Spiral Energy Drive, while she asks Pinkie Pie to fetch the Leopard's Blueprint from... somewhere, did it matter? (5) Somehow Pinkie Pie got a duplicate of the suit and both Mechanic Teams start work on their respected units. She in the meantime started to read though the book on improving her Mechanic skill (6) and started to speed though training in a hurry.
Alice's Mechanic skill increased by 1 step
In the meantime, the Pros take the blueprint and start modifying it, seeing what happens when this drive makes it though the unit. Taking a deep breath, they start modifying the Spiral Energy Drive Revision 1 to fit it into the shape of the GN Drive (4+1) and managed to do so without a hitch. After modifying it, they begin to construct Exia (5+1) and started to get the thing up and running. They need to have a test run in it to make sure something weird doesn't happen, and asks for Voulenteers. (3) Sadly, no one stuck their necks for science.
The other Mechanic team, using the Leopard's Blueprints, start to build up the Gundam once their temporary guest leaves with her suit (4) and managed to get somewhere with it. They start working on the suit and managed to do so without a hitch.
Kasai and Vinyl take the time to pay up for the service and gets the machine Fortified and Beam Coated, just in case things go sour.
The Bill comes out to be 10,000 total for both services, and
Lester seems a bit ambitous for some reason, ordering the Pros, once Exia's done, to get the GN Tau Drives going. In the meantime, he sells the remaining Drives to the winning bidder, making a million off of them, while making updates, forgetting something about Yuri being a quiet one.
In the meantime, the Lab Module arrived and installed without a hitch, as a cadrede of Unicorns join the Nahal Argama... it seem Lester has trouble getting Humans to join, but then again, maybe it'll be for the better if he doesn't go ballistic over this.
375,000 Bits for the Research ability
The mechanics, surprized at Yuri's talents, also simulated some power charges based on Yuri's calculations and it seems to be working at the moment. It seems they're about ready to start building one for the Nahal Argama, with clearance from Lester that is.
In the meantime, some of the Mechanics break off and call Ichiji and Yuri out to get a scan of their brain waves (5), creating a prototype Mindscanner Device that can detect a X-Rounder and Psychodriver with about 90% accuracy. Unfortiantely, trying to scan for NTs and Innovades, based on their info on them, were a bit iffy, but it's better then nothing.
Lester, sends a hefty tip by the builders for their job and expects to send the next order to them, as the Professional Mechanics start to build the Tau GN Drives (6+2), working so fast that it ends up getting the job done in one turn. In the meantime, he recalls Rarity back to Ponyville for a bit of negotiation that'll take awhile [Extended Action for Rarity].
As for his message for Human Pilots? (5) It seems there were fewer Surface Humans then he thought, though someone did listen: Ichiji's own mother, a scientist who seems to be wearing black, with blue hair and green eyes. Her name is Alicia Minazuki, and she's a scientist involved in the restoration of the SRX Project.
"Hello Mr... Lester? I was actually looking for my bookworm daughter and well, I was thinking of joining the crew. I can contribute to anything related to the R-series machines otherwise..." she also brings blueprints for the R-1 and R-3, as well as the Powered parts for the R-Series units for addition incentive.
Back at Ponyville, Marcus and Kenji start shifting focus, as they seem to be as accurate they can be, until they start gaining Field Experiance. (4)
Marcus increases Ranged by 1 step. Kenji increases Melee and Evasion by 1 step. CMCs increased Melee by 1 step, Star Charmer increases Melee by 1 Step
