	[Really not ever.] It's not all the same, but in the tools I made . . . there's lots, for work like this. Even if it's just calibration, I'm sure we can do a lot! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Sort of nods to that... and pausing, listening to Akito a moment.] One of em's got a drag to the left, and Akito figures something's off with the air cushion system... probably from the braking strain. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[A handful of those later, she takes a seat, patting the space beside her.] The cushioning system, and the front balance, and the power output . . . your legs are different, too. These were made for ones that are the same. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Lays his A-T between them, so he can see them as she works.] You shouldn't. Your legs . . . that's Sensei's work, isn't it? She won't like it if you strain them again over something so small. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Guns it.

There's a high-pitched hum of protest through the frame, the squeal of gears that weren't made to handle this speed, vibrations of parts that, if they were bearing weight at all, would probably come apart under his feet. It travels down the grid, a domino effect racing in a matter of milliseconds—

Until at one point, deep in the rear wheels, it ends. It's not where the sound stops. It's where it's devoured, the power output barely nudging to life something that stirs with a knife gleam and banshee's cry, and a hunger that would eat the frail parts around it whole.]
