Wick turns around and sees venus standing next to a device in the corner of the room. “ that , euhm, good question ” wick gets up from what he is doing and moves to the device so he can actually see what venus is referring to.
it’s an old piece of equipment from the ark that he and sinclair were working on. the point was to create some sort of communication device so everyone could keep in touch. it had to function like a server for all communication. but it wasn’t working the way it should so they shoved it in the corner and forgot about it. she doesn’t look dumb, but she also looks like she doesn’t know much about engineering, he thinks, I can roll with this .
He pretends to suddenly remember what it was and exclaims “ ah isn’t it obvious, that’s a device that can make you a really good sandwich! ” . he looks at her in amusement and continues “ yeah you just plop in whatever food you have and it makes you a sandwich ” . he tries to sound as serious as he can, but can’t help to crack a smile. “want me to make you one” he asks before bursting out in laughter.
𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐒 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐄𝐒 𝐀𝐓 𝐖𝐈𝐂𝐊 𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐍 as he bursts into laughter. whatever he finds so funny about his joke, it hasn’t translated. “ riiiiiight, ” she nods slowly from her position across a workbench in the middle of the room. all she’d come to ask was when he’d be done with being so noisy in here ( why did her quarters have to be so close to the work rooms? ) and she’d been roped into helping him with something. if venus was meaner or simply in a bad mood, she might have refused. but she didn’t.
“ anyway, ” venus sighs, “ as cool as a sandwich maker sounds, let’s get this over with. you wanted me to hold this... thing? ” man, she really knows nothing about engineering, huh? at least a spare pair of hands doesn’t need wick’s knowledge too.
