Lucky Rabbits Feet

[Orphen]

Orphen smiled, yeah, this in particular was going to require some practice in order to get used to, just like flying anything really, it moved like a helicopter in base mode, but like a Jet or like any other speeder when it really took off. Orphen had yet to make a helmet for it, but when he did it would be able to interface with the weapons and the machine so that it would be able to do what you wanted it to without much thought going into it, be it a verbal or even a mental command, likely it would not be too hard to use. The Ai with it as well would be able to be talked to, giving it another level of control. Though, Orphen could not help but laugh and enjoy Korros looking at his new weapon of destruction. Though there was no manual, Orphen led him through basic control and the weapons systems. There were buttons on each of the handles for the two charriks which were mounted within the platform. Korros had none of Orphens' drones, but, should he get them, he would need a means to control them, as it stood though, Orphen had none of the required materials. Korros could feel free to get them if he wanted.

Other buttons which were important were the step triggers, when he was on all fours the angles would allow him to use the boosters which would send him flying at combat flight speeds, naturally, he should not activate them indoors. But all in all it was like christmas for Korros.

"At the moment you only have manual piloting, the AI in the machine feels you leaning and moves in that direction, so you gotta be careful, I'll be making a helmet for you which will wirelessly link into the Transmittor and give you direct access to a weapons HUD for your weapons on this thing, of which i have another to make, and voice contact with the ALPHA series AI, who can be rather chatty, so, have fun with her. Its tough, it has armour, but it's not unbreakable, dont take missiles to the face. But no blaster pistol or rifle will give you much trouble unless they get super lucky. "

Orphen laughed at Korros' final comment, and, using Mechu Deru, would help him get used to the motion of the thing, moving it around and helping the kushiban keep his balance on the machine, soon he would need to be moving at combat speed, so, more practice was yet to come.

 

[Korros]

[SIZE=18.6666666666667px]He tested out the machine slowly, just getting used to how responsive it was and, as he got braver and relaxed, picked up the pace. He couldn’t do much, the platform was in a small confined space after all, but it was enough. With how tired he still felt he was glad he wasn’t able to do much more than this, he’d probably make some silly mistake. It moved to a stop and he jumped off, his limbs feeling a bit wobbly, he almost stumbled. Going from the platform to solid ground would take getting used to it seemed as well. “[/SIZE][SIZE=18.6666666666667px]Just remember that even with flattening my ears for a helmet, they are long, so we’ll have to come up with something to protect them.[/SIZE][SIZE=18.6666666666667px]”[/SIZE]

[SIZE=18.6666666666667px]He’d need something for his whole body, but his tail however will be impossible to protect. “[/SIZE][SIZE=18.6666666666667px]We’ll have to come up with something for my body too, but I don’t think there is a way to protect my tail.[/SIZE][SIZE=18.6666666666667px]”[/SIZE]

Orphen smiled

"the helmet should be easy to make, won't take me longer than a day to repurppose a pilot helmet from Aurora insudtries, I can get that to you in a day or so, its mostly just software changes and a few additions, but yeah, your body should not need anything more then protective leathers for moving at high speeds, to be honest, anything that hits your body is going to take you out of the fight anyways, so, buffer yourself from the wind, but, armour is just going to be added weight."

Orphen spoke a little grimly, but it was true, a bolt from a blaster pistol even if it hit his armour at the strongest point would likely have the concussive force to shatter Korros' ribs and stop his heart with the blow, and Orphen didn't want to give him false hope on that

"The best thing you could do in your spare time, would be to find yourself a shield generator, you could wear it like a back-pack and most would be strong enough to cover you and the glider considering your size. You'd just have to configure it appropriately. The higher grade you get the better really, I remember reading about the old Mandalorian ones, I heard they were more than excellent. High power usage though. "

[SIZE=18.6666666666667px]One of his arms folded across his chest while his other propped on it with his hand going near his mouth and a finger touching his face thoughtfully. “[/SIZE][SIZE=18.6666666666667px]I don’t know where to get something like that, but if we can get one, do you think you can modify it to make the energy consumption better? I do like the idea of getting a shield and you are probably right, anything more than leather is probably useless.[/SIZE][SIZE=18.6666666666667px]”[/SIZE]

[SIZE=18.6666666666667px]It was a shame though, but he would have to do for now. He really wanted to get his paws on one of those shield things. “[/SIZE][SIZE=18.6666666666667px]We’ll have to get some stuff, I don’t have any leather, all I have is just some odds and ends, clothes and my sewing stuff. So we’ll have to go shopping…[/SIZE][SIZE=18.6666666666667px]”[/SIZE]

Orphen laughed, looking at him, Orphen could likely make a shield generator, though, he would need some materials... Taking out a pen, he grabbed himself a list of the things he was going to need to be able to make the generator. In the mean time he turned to look at his work bench and his own dwindling supplies... things were getting a little tight... he needed a better workshop... or a junkyard. Even that would be better than dealing with these crappy materials and scraping by day after day.

"Alright Korros, here is a list of the things that i need for the personal shield, tell you what, you go out and get these, and I will try my best to make one for you as well, but you need to get me the parts. You can probably get most of them around here while you go shopping for your clothes, im sure it wont be a hard errand, other than perhaps getting me information on shield Generator plans itself, you might have to go to a republic barracks and ask to see some people, but im sure they would treat you nicely, they're an understanding bunch... I'm going to work on this helmet in the mean time, and then, on your gun... if i have time. "

And with that Orphen got to work, leaving the Kushiban to hiss own devices for a time to run the errand... but for now, the epicanthix became focused, hunting for tools and materials in his workshop... or what was left of them...
