Repairs in the Night

[a_linear_mind]

[With Fort Alhambra in pretty bad shape after everything that had happened, a familiar (to some) cloud of nanomachines erupts out from the hangar very late into the night and quickly covers the Fort. As the swarm scattered out broken parts of the base began to restore themselves, fallen debris disappeared within seconds, and even damaged machines in the hangar are repaired to working order.

The culprit behind this can easily be found trying to stealthily exit his machine Unfortunately, a strange sense of guilt causes him to pause for a moment and take a long look at the partner he had practically abandoned, making it even easier to catch him in the act.]

....this is probably the only place that I can use you without having to worry.

There is only one way to know that for certain.

Something something late response

While true, I still don't think you would anyways.

Although, I guess you don't have any reason to either.

[abugslife]

If you wish to keep being awfully mysterious, so be it.

[Hetepheres turns around, ready to leave.]

But let it be known that if Scaraber is heavily damaged, I might ask you to assist with repairs. My engineering team could use a bit of a break once in a while.

I'm not trying to mysterious, I just know a lost fight when I see one.

[abugslife]

Not always, Willis. Otherwise you would know your fight to keep your past hidden from me is also one.

[a_linear_mind]

...are you speaking from experience?

[abugslife]

Perhaps.

[a_linear_mind]

Then you should know that I have plenty of reasons for trying to keep whatever you would call our relationship the same.

I'm just a simple idiot who can't think of the bigger picture. Trying to find logic in my actions is a futile effort. You're welcome to try to guess though.
