The good news is that installation should be simple once you get the part.” “You can’t just duct tape over this,” Mervin tells her. However, the back is missing some neosteel plating, and Imogen does not have any of the right kind. Together they repair most of the issues with the suit.
He does not have much experience with the electronics side, but rejiggering the plating is right up his alley. In gratitude for all she has done, he offers to help her with the SCV suit. She invites Mervin to mess around with her mechanics kit as much as he likes, now that his memories of metalworking are returning. Imogen’s current hobby project-at least, her non-zerg one-is fixing up an SCV suit that she and Lilly salvaged on Mar Sara. He is more stable and quieter than before, often sitting still stroking his cat as he sifts through the memories that the trinket helps to surface. The metalwork that Imogen picked up from Vido’s, that he himself crafted in the past, provides a good meditative focus for him. Mervin-formerly Frank-is doing much better with Mr. The trip to Mar Sara takes a couple days. Mar Sara is a good place to take him for a drive. As Lilly returns to Saffron, her eyes settle on the vulture bike mag-locked to its side. No systems are currently in dire straits, but the hull needs some patchwork once they have access to Li’s garage.
While Lilly is getting those, Imogen acquires additional materials for the science vessel. She settles on fancy electronics that Li has asked for in the past, ones unlikely to be stocked in Mar Sara City shops. Since they will be visiting Li June, Lilly makes sure to pick up a few items for her before takeoff. The next morning, Saffron departs Korhal for Mar Sara.
