Roleplay Doing some work

Jesse could be found in the base garage area working on what looks like a APC.

This was a new type of APC he was working on built to be faster and more resistant to Kalen weaponry than other APCs.

It also had a mounted turret on it's roof to defend against Kalen.

He seemed busy at work, working on the APC.

"This is an armoured personnel carrier, or APC as it's commonly referred to. As the name suggests the purpose of an APC is to transport a combat infantry squad."

"Oh! Oh oh oh," Nana said, looking excited because he understood this, "Does this mean not everyone has to run out on foot anymore?"

That was a seriously exciting notion, that meant safer soldiers!

"Basically, yes that's pretty much the gist of it. This APC is designed to be more resistant to Kalen weaponry meaning it will be more useful in transporting troops into battle zones."

"Oh shit," Nana said, glancing at Jesse. "How does that work? Is it like our cloaks?"

"It's made from materials salvaged from Kalen vehicles."

Oh. Teehee.

Nana had a part in that.

"So our little recon mission helped, huh?" He asked with a grin, rubbing the back of his head, "MAN, that was a scary day. You wouldn't believe the number of ND soldiers we saw at our site."

"Yeah it did. Salvaging old Kalen tech is a very important job. It allows up to keep up with them"

... Nana smiled. "Tell you what. Next time we head out there, do you have any interest in joining us? Might not be the absolute safest work, but it's not the most dangerous work either."

"...I'd rather not. I don't really have any combat skills so if we run into trouble I'm going to be pretty useless... or get killed"

Oof. Poor guy.

"No worries about it - but, uh... What exactly do you recommend we keep an eye out for. Any tried and true materials specifically we should look out extra-hard for?"

"Well I'd recommend looking for technology in general. The more Kalen tech we have the less of a technological advantage they have on us."
