A Long Shot

Mille chuckled lightly at Halpert's reaction, but as he brought the platform down, his attention fully shifted to the HNP engine block, his lips curled into a smile like that of a child opening a Christmas present. It would be a bit before he composed himself, rubbing both his hands together slowly before adding on.

Alright, hope restored, hah! Very well... Halper, would you mind telling the dockmaster to clamp the Claymore and bring it over? I'm going to remove the engine block and we can start comparing the two. This will most likely take a while but feel free to stick around if you want... May even turn into a little lesson on how to disassemble the Claymore partially if you folks ever feel like you need a heavier fighter but want to stick to something similar to the Kali.

The young tinkerer looked closely at the HNP block, already inspecting each and every little connector, stuck tracing parallels in his mind to what was similar to Myrtle's engine. It wouldn't be long until he grabbed an adjustable wrench that was laying around, loosening a set of hex nuts that seemingly partly gave access to a fuel injector. Someone was clearly a little eager, almost losing a hex nut as it fell from the engine block. Yet, he'd grab it surprisingly quickly before it fell off the shelf itself.

You didn't see aaaaaanything!
