Arisawa watched the small generators materialize and then signalled Scrappy. In her mind she mentally thought about how easy communication was with her new friend in comparison to with Xylvarenn. Her fellow engineer seemed to know just what she was doing and was right there with her as they worked in tandem. Power cables connected with the ancient ship's systems and doubled checked to ensure the voltage was what the systems could handle before putting power to them. It wasn't routine, but it was clearly much easier to communicate and be with Scrappy than it was with her actual love interest. It was just too bad that a) Scrappy hated people and B) Arisawa wasn't attracted to her fellow engineer.
While working though she said, "Xylvarenn, how's your computer programming? Do you think that if we get these console's working you can pull out information on these people's homeworld and maybe their star charts?"

Xylvarenn looks over at McFadden as she steps on to the bridge of the fallen vessel
"I am am average at the kind of programming used by the federation today, The languages we used a century a go I like to think think I am still good at. Unfortunately I feel that neither is what we will encounter in this console. To our advantage, we can link with Sery here, She is a star"
The Trill faintly smiles as she looks at the console in question, studying it for the little secrets it could give away by merely looking at its design

Varel was silent and still as the others spoke, her rifle having been stored in its proper holster on her EVA suit in the time it had taken to return to the bridge from the cargo bay. Even with the apparent apology from the entity, the tactical officer remained on alert; it bore responsibility for the deaths of over twenty officers aboard the Demeter after all. As such, she was keeping her scanner running to alert her to the approach of anything else as they went about their current operation, and going over the area with her eyes for anything that might not show up on the device.

"See anything, Varel?"

"Nothing that I had not already seen, Lieutenant," she replied promptly, keeping her gaze on the hallway outside of the bridge.

"I hope you and Sery can manage it. I'm only average at programming these things myself maybe even less than average." She went under a console and added, "Oh and there might be an over heating issue too because instead of isolinear chips they are using nano printed circuit boards and a water cooling system, most of the water lines fractured though so we'll either have to keep the power levels low or figure out a new way to keep these boards cooled."
It was like she'd gone back in time a few thousand years maybe like working on one of the original United Earth vessels. Sure, these people had dilithium and better warp drives, but the computer system tech was sadly lacking.

From behind back by the power connections, Scrappy began to snarl and grumble as she rooted through the ancient Alien systems herself. She can be heard to mutter something like "Water coolant pipes! Water coolant pipes?? What the heck next?! Hydraulics?? A hamster in a wheel??"
She took a breath and had to remind herself that she had just given herself the unshakable image of a cute little hamster curled up and mummified by the vacuum of space and time in its little wheel. She sighed...this is why I hate the universe, it hates me...
But, She thought as she began to root through the main power junction. Its the universe's fault...
...it started the hate first.

Arisawa listened to Scrappy and had her own image of a poor cute little hamster exposed to the vacuum of space and mummified and she said, "Now I'm going to have nightmares about that poor hamster Scrappy and I'm blaming you." She though a few moments and then said, "Still, it does give me an idea." She then called up specifications she'd made previously for a tiny drone. "I'll send this little guy through and he can lay down a new coolant system using microfiber heat sinks. What do you think?"
She looked over at her fellow engineer and then to Xylvarenn saying, "How's it going with the limited computer system up there Xylvarenn? We should get you full system capacity soon."

Xylvaren studies the computer (if one could call it that) smiling slightly to Scrappy and McFadden exchanging craziness
"I am securing a connection for Sery, setting up some extra proxy firewalls in the connection to keep her safe, Should be ready in a moment"

Scrappy chuckled darkly as she worked on the ancient fluidic system, pondering the miles of ductwork they are going to have to check for leaks. "Good....Happy Halloween then..."
Scrappy smirked about to mock the idea...when the image of how simple yet effective it would be sank in all at once. She lifted her gaze up to Arisawa indicating she understood instantly. "Yes! that will map it out and patch any damage as it does so. Plus it will allow us to locate key systems without having to translate everything which is a total time sink!"
"Get Stoggy to beam us done the puppy...and we will turn it loose..."
Scrappy sighed, rolled her eyes and elbowed Arisawa, keying her suit mic to broadcast to only Arisawa's suit.
"Why don't you let me handle the drone Rook....take this time to /talk/ to her." She smirked at her friend.
"You don't do the 'should i talk to her before study hall' girl well Rook."

Over the comms cae a soft voice, still stinging from how Varel had spoken to her.
"It is going to be a tight fit in there, I think..."

Jon looks between Arisawa and Xylvarenn, his eyebrows raised and a faint smile comes to his face.

Scrappy turns her faceplate over towards Jon as she speaks to Rook, and slowly narrows her eyes at him a moment before looking to her left and right slowly yet menacingly

Jon gives Scrappy a shrug as he looks between the pair.
