Only An Engineer

“I’m not looking to uncover anything,” she sighs, rolling her eyes now.  “I’m supposed to come in once a day to make sure my power suppressants are working.  Part of the deal my lawyers struck.  So are you one of the eggheads who can prick me with a few needles and give me my pass back out of this dump?”

Amelia glanced up from the computer screen, looking over at Riley curiously. It didn’t take long for her to place the face to a name - and to recent events. A slight smile passed over her features, a little hesitant but definitely there. “I’d like to think I’m an egghead, but pricking people with needles isn’t usually my thing. But I’ll see what I can do.” Everyone else seemed busy, so it probably would be up to her. She stood up, her smile still hanging on there as she added, “And I know you’re not happy about being here so I’m going to try not to take you calling my workshop here a ‘dump’. Come on, the suppressants are likely kept in the next lab.”

“Right, right. Hands off or I’ll some them. Got it.”

“Hands off is for the best, at least right now. I’d hate for anything to kind of like, blow you up. Or y’know, just for you to get cut or something.”

“I assumed I’d be privvy, considering I’m – Me.”

“Oh, that’s-- I mean, of course, sir. I’d be happy to help. But... the ‘Don’t Touch’ signs have a lot of power in this work space. It’s not an order, just a general concern.”

“I wasn’t going to touch anything. I was just looking.”

[engineerinaction]

“I’m sure you weren’t. But I do like to kind of emphasise that rule. I tend to like the days when we don’t have accidents better than the ones when things blow up and people get hurt.”

“I know Amy, I know. Who do you think put the ‘don’t touch’ signs there? I just needed to pick up the last of my things. I have the right to take my research with me, don’t I?”

[engineerinaction]

“I-- Of course you are. Feel free to take your time and gather up what you need. Sorry, I guess I was just a little distracted for a moment. Do you need any help with anything?”

“It’s okay, it won’t hurt much if it does happen, and I’ll be careful!”

[engineerinaction]

“Well, that’s good. I’m glad you wouldn’t be hurt. But still, our machines can be temperamental and easy to break - at least during this phase of creating them. I’ll thank you in advance for being careful.”

“The 'Don’t Touch’ signs are actually here for a reason. Some of the equipment here is... volatile. This isn’t really a hands-on tour of what’s going on right now, even if you are looking to uncover what’s going on here.”
