With the spin cycle winding down Machine tried to switch his focus from his focus to the matter at hand. Namely even if he were rested this was never going to be an easy conversation. Time to start though . . .
"Why that ship? Not really. Personal significance, tactical superiority, to annoy someone who'd rather you didn't have one, the superior ride quality of the Asgard line . . . or something else. It's a waste of a good question. Now why, even though you're remaining somewhat incognito, you'd want a nobody like me to perform this little labour for you? That . . . is the question. Like I say even without breaking cover, as it were, there's plenty of people with the skills, better equipment and tech access than me. I'm still rather flattered that I'd even appear on a radar such as yours but I really must know . . . why me?"
Taking another draw and watching the exhaled smoke curl with visible relief and joy Machine tilted his head slightly, smiled then said
"Satisfy my little curiosity and we'll get started on this little endeavor. It'll be a long road, with a few bumps no doubt, but, with a bit of teamwork, it is possible."
