Do not operate heavy machinery...

"Whoah, whoah! Chill out, dudes! I get it: hands off!"

While walking through the hanger, you look up to see Dido getting frog-marched out of a high security bay area that currently holds the Saber units, two security guards on each side gripping her shoulders and forearms. They roughly release her and walk off.

Dido stumbles, sets down the oil-can she was carrying, and dusts herself off. "Dammit. Why can't people take an honest bribe these days?"

Ask her what's going on?

After maintenance hours, when everyone's gone home for the night, you stumble across Dido lying on her back atop a set of boxes, taking puffs from...something burning inside a roll of paper.

She sighs, and then sits up, starring at the ground. "Dammit..." You hear her mutter. "This is what happens when you try and act like Mom..."

She spies you coming and hastily flicks the burning roll paper behind her. "Ah...Hey! Fancy seeing you here! How, uh, are you?""

"Once they are repaired and fully operational - who knows? Either way it was a good idea to make sure only authorized personnel can ride those. Even more so than for other units."

"Just... consult this kind of thing with higher ups. Doing it on your own, not such a good idea."

Dido exhales in relief. "I'm sorry, Commander Howe: I should have come to you with my concerns first thing." She faces the commander. "May I take safety precautions to ensure that Loni and the rest don't steal their units back and and head off to do more damage?"

"Yes, but forget about oiling the joints. We are going to lock the cockpit systems so the units cannot be booted without outside permission."

Dido gives a thumbs up. "Awesome! I would love to be a part of the installation team, but will respect your judgement in this matter."
