RP [Open] 1st Annual Kikyo Science and Trade Expo

Pavilion C12, Exhibition Hall
Yugumo Corporation

Wearing a at least comfortable Yugumo Corporation Uniform, Motoyoshi Igarashi Yue made her way to Yugumo’s booth, hoping to support her family’s company here. She smiled at Sayuri, letting her answer the questions, as she checked on things behind her.

[OOC: wanted to push something for Yue to be there in support]
 
Auger looked into Pax's eyes and when she accepted her apology Auger gave her a thumbs up and a salute, and on the mention of drawing a crowd she nodded rapidly and scooted a bit so she was next to Rocko, and she typed on the sign to change it so now it read "Come meet the Mining guilds Mascot Rocko and his assistant Auger! fliers and info chips also available! we have snacks as well!" as the mole D3 started to dance about to get her sign in good view. and handing out fliers and info chips people could plug into their data slates to see their wares and location of their stall. the fliers were really more for aesthetic reasons since it fit into their whole old timey vibe of Her and Rocko.




After a bit of advertising and handing things out Auger returned to Pax's side and started to look over the life pod that had drawn their interest and she was already going over it's stats typing out a question herself which appeared on the sign for them to read "what is it's collision rating? It says it is armored but salvage and mining operations tends to happen in debris filled areas, how many can it hold and for how long in case of long term waiting time? when in atmosphere can it be used as shelter and what parts can be removed and powered independently? does it have a modular power supply? Fabricator? comm system? are you able to remove the stealth and make it easier to find for rescue operations?" the sign filled with questions as Auger was looking over the information. a good deal of Workers for the Guild were D3 after all so knowing it's capabilities was a good idea.
 
Ryoji Tanaka’s eyes narrowed as he scanned the flurry of questions appearing on Auger’s sign, and he couldn’t help but chuckle softly. “Well, aren’t you thorough,” he said, folding his arms in a relaxed posture while addressing the diligent D3 and avoiding mentioning the need that he had to read a hand sign in today's age. “Let’s take these one at a time, shall we?”

He gestured to the volumetric diagram of the Last Hope Escape Pod, which now displaying the nanolaminate composition of its outer hull. The stealth coating (not detailing what the material was) was on top, followed by the Neo-Mercurite nanolaminate, a thicker layer of osmiridium, ending with space inbetween the outer and inner hulls. The dorsal layer was different as above the osmiridium was a very thick layer of kimurium.

“The protection rating is Level 7 for the Type A model and Level 6 for the smaller Type B and Type C models. This means that, in addition to surviving impacts from micrometeoroids, small debris, and moderate collisions, the pod can also endure hits from weaponry typically deployed by power armor. The kimurium-reinforced core on the top section of the pod is specifically engineered to handle extreme stress, including atmospheric reentry and harsh impacts. You also want the dorsal side to be the impact location for dense debris.”

He flipped to the pod specifications, gesturing to highlight the key details. “The Type A can hold 18 people comfortably for five weeks or accommodate 40 people in cramped conditions for one week during emergencies. The smaller Type B and Type C models are designed for 14 and 11 occupants, respectively, with the same high-quality provisions scaled to their capacities. Each pod includes BioSynth Protein dispensers, water recycling systems, and modular storage compartments for rations, medical kits, and survival tools, ensuring long-term survivability even in isolated scenarios.”

Ryoji then shifted the volumetric to a scene of a Last Hope Type A descending into the very thick atmosphere of a greenhouse planet that was Ukmirt A2. The test androids inside are seen to be upside down. Once the ravages of re-entry is over, the escape pod's plasma vernier thrusters flip it right side wher it's three fusion drives activate to slow down and land (in combination with its anti-grav systems). The lack of landing structs is noticeable.

“In the atmosphere, the pod can double as a shelter without issue. Its kimurium and osmiridium hull components makes it resilient to environmental extremes such as high winds, heavy rainfall, intense atmospheric pressure, and extreme temperatures. Internally, the climate control systems ensure a livable environment, keeping occupants safe and comfortable during extended stays.”

The landed pod converts into a volumetric cross-section at his command, detailing the pod’s components. “Regarding modularity, multiple systems can be removed or powered independently, such as the emergency beacons, environmental control units, and the CRUX docking system. This flexibility allows survivors to prioritize essential systems during power limitations. The pod is equipped with a modular power supply, which includes navitium supercapacitors backed by a compression fusion reactor. These ensure the pod remains functional even in catastrophic conditions.”

“For light repairs or crafting needs,” he continued, “the pod is equipped with an integrated repair toolkit and can be equipped with a microforge, which can handle small-scale production of replacement parts or tools. While it’s not a full-fledged fabricator, it’s sufficient for immediate survival needs. On the communication side, the pod features radio, laser, and hyperspace transceivers, ensuring connectivity in remote or hostile environments.”

Finally, Ryoji addressed the stealth and visibility features. “The stealth layer and mass mesher provide active stealth capabilities, reducing the pod’s electromagnetic profile to avoid detection in hostile situations. However, this system can be disabled manually or through the AI to make the pod more visible to rescue teams. For added visibility, the pod external aesthetics can be outfitted with high-visibility emergency markings, which can be illuminated or pulsed to aid in visual detection during emergencies.”
 
Auger soaked up the information given as she looked over the images shown, the life pod seemed well designed but there was another question poking at her mind and so she rapidly typed and the sign showed her thoughts "What about interconnectivity? are the life pods able to link up and expand their operational time and range? or are they simply single units with no capability to interlock? such a system would aid in rescue and survivability, especially if they land near each other or have a capability to link up before landing and survive impact in such a configuration" the sign read as she looked over the systems for any hint as a function like that.

Her D3 nature looking for possible uses other then as life pods as well, something the D3 that worked in the guild were rather known for was using tools and equipment for more then their normal design specs would consider, and often times modifying such things to do a job they ether lacked a specialized tool for, or that simply increased the uses of an existing tool or piece of equipment.
 
Ryoji Tanaka's smile faltered ever so slightly as he read the next set of questions Auger had typed. The flurry of technical inquiries and creative demands were impressive, yes, but also starting to test his patience. He adjusted his posture, running a hand over his neatly pressed suit jacket as he straightened it.

When he finally spoke, his tone remained polite, but there was a measured edge to it. “You’ve certainly thought this through,” he said, the faintest hint of strain in his voice masked by a practiced smile of dealing with ha. “It’s clear that adaptability and pushing the limits of design are priorities for you and your team. Let me clarify how these pods address those needs.”

He gestured toward the volumetric display, which now zoomed in on the CRUX docking system. “The CRUX system is designed for exactly this kind of situation—interconnectivity between multiple pods to share resources in a micro-gravity environment.”

He paused, his professional mask holding firm despite piecing together the source of the flurry of ideas that bordered on overzealous reimagining. “That said,” he continued, tapping a command to bring up an additional schematic, “with some creative engineering, the CRUX system can be modified. You’d need to consider the structural integrity of the pods within an atmosphere greater than .001 atm and during impact and the strain of non-standard configurations, but I’m sure the Mining Guild’s engineers are resourceful enough to work that out.”

Ryoji took a deep breath, glancing at Auger with what could almost pass for genuine admiration. “I’ll admit, the way your team thinks outside the box is impressive. However,” he added, carefully keeping his tone even, “the Last Hope Escape Pod is designed foremost as a survival tool. While we can explore modifications, pushing it too far outside its intended use could result in challenges—or limitations—we’d need to navigate together.”

He shifted slightly, clasping his hands behind his back in a stance that conveyed authority as much as patience. “If you’re seriously considering this as more than an escape system, I’d recommend an in-depth consultation, there are certainly other uses for this platform that can be explored. The Mining Guild’s needs may warrant further development beyond the standard pod specifications.”

His smile returned, professional and controlled. “But let me assure you—what’s already built into the Last Hope provides a strong foundation for survival, efficiency, and adaptability. Let’s focus on how it can excel in those roles first.”
 
Production Bay 1, Subsection 4
Spacy Exhibition Hall – Kumo no Kagayaki Station, Kikyo Science and Trade Expo

Ryu Keiretsu

Leased from the Yugumo Corporation when the rights were transferred from Port Jiyuu in its move, Production Bay 4 was dedicated to the Keiretsu's industrial needs in the Motoyoshi Colonial Sector. The workers were particularly keen on prototyping the latest designs from the Ryu Keiretsu Integrated Research Complex at Keiyō City and spacy prototyping by local shipwrights at the Engineering Bureau at the station. But today a number of berths at the subsection were host to an assortment of ships for the expo.

As the visitors disembarked from their dedicated tram, they were ushered into a securely enclosed docking bay repurposed into a sprawling exhibition space. The space had been meticulously arranged, balancing the grandeur of full-scale starships with the precision of modular technology showcases. Every surface was a testament to the industry's cutting-edge advancements, with volumetric displays floating above corporate booths, each presenting the latest in spacy warfare, logistics, and support infrastructure.

The SpectraGuard Visual Interface panels covering the docking bay doors created a transparent yet protective barrier, allowing attendees to take in the sheer scale of the ships displayed without the risk of exposure to the hazards of an open bay. Beyond the shimmering interface, a pair of Higo-Class Rikugun Citadel (one in SAoY livery and a civilian variant in RHI livery) dominated the scene—the hulking 603-meter bastions were presented in stark contrast against a pair of 122 meter long Kōbō-Class Landing and Logistics Ships docked beside them. The difference in size was immediately apparent, yet the purposeful design of both ship classes resonated with the practical sensibilities of military and civilian logistics experts alike.

The Higo-Class was the focal point of the RHI exhibit, its broad, angular hull exuding a fortress-like presence even in its civilian guise. Originally developed for the Star Army Rikugun in partnership with Star Army Reseach Administration, the Higo-Class was a mobile base of operations, designed to house, transport, and sustain planetary garrisons. The civilian version, though stripped of its heaviest armaments, was still a powerhouse, doubling as a mobile command center, emergency colony vessel, or modular logistics hub. Its landing decks were capable of supporting small craft, VTOL gunships, and dropships, while its internal hangars and storage bays allowed for massive amounts of cargo movement, critical for both military campaigns and large-scale relief efforts increasingly common with refugees coming to Yamatai.

By contrast, the Kōbō-Class vessels flanking the Higo were smaller, more versatile support ships. The Kōbō-Class Landing and Logistics Ship, a joint design between Nepleslian Research and Manufacturing (NRM) and Ryu Keiretsu, was born from SnS/SOS Coalition designs developed during the recent Osman Conflict. Unlike the imposing Higo, the Kōbō-Class exuded efficiency and adaptability. Ryu Keiretsu engineers, along with representatives from Nepleslian Research and Manufacturing, were stationed near interactive volumetric displays, demonstrating the Kōbō’s role as a landing craft, transport vessel, and mobile supply depot. Its reinforced hull plating, multi-role deployment bays, and modular cargo configurations made it an ideal platform for both military and industrial operations.

One of the engineers, a woman with short-cropped dark hair and a no-nonsense demeanor, stepped forward, tapping on a volumetric schematic that expanded into a cross-section of the Kōbō-Class.

“Unlike larger capital ships, the Kōbō-Class is designed to operate closer to the action. Whether it’s delivering mechanized units, deploying field equipment, or serving as an advance supply post, the Kōbō is built to get in, get the job done, and reposition as needed. The vessel’s armored landing bay ensures that ground operations can continue even under fire, while the integrated cargo deployment system allows for rapid offloading of equipment.”

For those interested in customization, the booth had interactive screens displaying different internal loadout configurations, showcasing how the Kōbō could be modified for troop transport, mechanized deployment, or specialized cargo missions. Unlike the Higo, which was more about strategic presence, the Kōbō was built for tactical execution, able to land in hostile environments and provide critical support to forward units.
 
"Honestly, not as much as you think." He walked over to one of the vehicles and gave the armor a slight rap on the hull, "Armor's ablative composite-made from a combination of ceramics, plastics, and good ol' steel-you don't need as much of the latter and ground pressure's kept low due to the number and size of the tires, with each one being able to mount an individual drive." He reached over and popped the hatch on the side. "Getting to the engine's fairly simple, pop the hatch, and you've got access to your it-loosen these bolts here and pull the powerplant out." He nodded to the driver to cut the engine-grabbing a tool kit, he began working in the interior, actions demonstrated on a monitor. With a grunt, the engine began to slide out, with the driver hopping out to help him, before pulling it out completely, setting it on the ground, then pulling a different engine and placing it in, and tightening it down.

The whole thing took less than 2 minutes. "In and out-fuel lines and the like are just as easy to get to, and the combustion engine can be replaced by a fusion plant, thought that takes a little longer to change out." He gestured to the engine compartment, "And if weight's still an issue, you can swap it out for a durandium plating as needed."

Pax curled her lips into a smirk as she watched Auger bombard the booth’s representative with rapid-fire questions, each one hastily scribbled on their signs and flipped up with eager enthusiasm. She crossed her arms, amusement dancing in her eyes. That’s gotta be the most inefficient way to have a conversation. And yet, it was undeniably entertaining. Still, as fun as it was watching the guy squirm, Pax figured she’d better step in before Auger overwhelmed him completely. With an almost imperceptible glance at Rocko, she signaled for some backup.

Rocko, ever the reliable showman, caught the cue immediately. With a grin, he reached out with his holographic hand and gave Auger a light, playful pat on the head. “Alright there, partner, let’s give the fella a breather,” he chuckled, his virtual form radiating warmth. “Save some of those questions for later—we still got a whole expo to explore, remember?”

Taking advantage of the pause, Pax stepped forward, her tone shifting to something more measured and businesslike. “Admittedly, the Mining Guild could use new escape pods,” she said, her expression turning more thoughtful as she examined the Last Hope Type A again. “Unfortunately, some of the technology we have access to is… old. And getting older.” Her voice carried just a hint of frustration at that fact. “Something new might be worth looking into.”

She paused, tapping her fingers against her arm before continuing. “Once the four of us head back to the Mining Guild’s booth, I’ll talk to the head of our representative team. If they’re on board, they can send a message back to leadership and see if we can get some higher-ups to meet with your company.” She tilted her head slightly, her interest in the pod evident. “Personally, though, I’d like to see what else this thing can do beyond just emergency use. What other purposes does it have?”

Her sharp gaze locked onto the representative, waiting for a response, all while Rocko stood beside her, still gently patting Auger’s head—just in case. The mention of four of them, might have caused some confusion, but she meand the security bot hiding within Rocko’s hologram.
 
Auger was listening intently to the man, taking in all the information for later use if needed, the lifeboats seemed well made and had some amount of solution to her variety of questions, she had even more to ask of course, completely oblivious to the mans souring mood as she was only focused on doing he best job she could for Pax and the Mining guild that had given her a place to work and live as well as all the Other D3 that worked with them.

and so she was already partway through typing out a new and even longer series of questions on her sign but then Rocko patted her head and the little Mole D3 stopped and closed her eyes in a very content manner, her nose wriggling as she seemed to calm down in her work fervor, and once he finished speaking she nodded and shouldered her sign with the words "Okay Rocko!" on it as she gave him a thumbs up and let Pax take over talking to the man as she scooted a little closer to Rocko as she tried to get more head pats.

and of course with Rocko giving more head pats Auger stood there looking very content a happy little look on her face as she let herself be patted, mole nose wriggling as she simply stood and relaxed, of course the sight would attract attention to the Mining guild group, after all not many had such unique Mascots in both style and mannerisms. it also helped that the Sign auger was holding only had the word "Yay!" displayed on it for the time being

Ryoji exhaled quietly through his nose, masking the slight irritation creeping up his spine. The relentless questioning from Auger, while certainly thorough, was beginning to border on overwhelming. He prided himself on his professionalism, but even he had his limits. Still, he wasn’t about to lose his cool in front of potential business partners—especially not when he sensed an opportunity brewing.

With Rocko stepping in to redirect Auger’s enthusiasm and Pax shifting the conversation toward practical application, Ryoji composed himself and refocused. He took note of Pax’s interest, as well as her frustration over outdated Mining Guild tech. That was leverage—an opening to push to improve NRM's reputation in the greater market.

But before he could properly answer her question, he was mentally busy figuring out the answer with the Last Hope's engineering team in virtual conference. Making use of his digital mind implant, 25% of his mental capacity was currently in the emergency LimeRed VR conference room he had set up when he started to sense a theme of the Mining Guild's questioning.

LimeRed Conference Room: Engineering War Room

LimeRed was NRM's attempt to copy Tamahagane Corporation's Virtual Collective Experience. While it is somewhat popular, it has been primarily used internally for NRM and FDC communications. This particular Conference Room was NRM’s dedicated rapid-response engineering war room, its volumetric space designed for fast-paced prototyping and crisis-resolution meetings. The digital environment simulated a sleek, futuristic boardroom, with floating schematics and interactive design nodes projected above a long hexagonal table.

At its center, the Last Hope Escape Pod models rotated in real-time, layered schematics unfolding as engineers ran simulations and made rapid alterations. Ryoji’s partitioned mind monitored the discussions at both the expo and within this virtual space, keeping him engaged on both fronts.

“Alright,” he said, directing everyone’s attention to the ongoing simulation. “The Mining Guild isn’t just looking for escape pods—they want something that can function as a modular, long-term survival habitat. This is an opportunity, but we need to move fast. What can we feasibly propose in the short term?”

"Problem is that the Last Hope Series was designed to be only one thing, an escape pod. Every single one of its functions is tailored just for that." Atsuko Nishikawa, lead structural and docking engineer, said as she looked at the schematics. "There is a possibility to have them form into a micro-space station with their docking capabilities, there is a lot of extra bulk and space just wasted dedicated to it being an escape pod.

"Load balancing is also going to be an issue for anything more than the intended purpose of the Last Hope when linked together." Roy Haldeman, another engineer on the project said as he tapped on the power-flow model for each other the variants of the Last Hope series. "Won't be a problem if we develop a hub for which they can attach to, but I am sensing they are going to want more options like a tug or automated sentry."

"If we separate the habitable portion of the pod into its own module, we already have the basis for an universal platform consisting of the propulsion and power units." Atsuko quipped thinking over how she was going to change the structure to do so. "Yes, I think that is the solution to this."

There was a bit of silence as the other engineers that didn't contribute anything at the moment thought about the new platform. After a few moments, there was a collective nod that it was the accepted solution.

"Well then, with that in mind as the Mining Guild is already interested. If we move forward with this, we need to lock them in. Since they will be driving the creation of different craft, we should offer them several prototype-exclusive test models for which they can actively test their ideas with." Zhao Yuhan, marketing strategist, said. He glanced at Ryoji, raising an eyebrow. “That sound like something you can sell?”

With half his mind still in the expo hall, Ryoji exhaled quietly, considering his next move.

Pavilion C12

Ryoji’s mind seamlessly reintegrated as he returned his full attention to Pax and her team, a mere few seconds of lapsed time from their perspective. The quiet exhale was more of an internal re-calibration than anything else. He now had a new pitch, one that transformed the Mining Guild’s inquiries from an unexpected challenge into a business-defining opportunity.

He adjusted his stance slightly, adopting the body language of a man about to offer something groundbreaking.

“I have the authority to do submit a proposal to your leadership so we can save some time with the bureaucracy." he said before pausing for a moment. "From the sound of it, the Mining Guild is in of something more—a modular platform that’s more than just a contingency plan. Something that integrates into your everyday operations rather than sitting around waiting for a worst-case scenario.”

He let that sink in for a moment before continuing.

“The Last Hope Series was designed to be one thing: an escape pod. But what if we take that foundation and break it down into a flexible, scalable system? Instead of forcing a single unit to serve every purpose, we separate the core functions—habitation, propulsion, and power—into modular components that snap together. This would allow you to create not just lifeboats, but temporary workstations, automated sentries, micro-stations, or even mobile repair hubs. The possibilities are nearly endless as the market for craft this size is not usually looked at by major corporations.”

His words were measured, confident—but he wasn’t simply selling an idea. He was letting Pax visualize the potential.

“Imagine a universal platform where instead of retrofitting escape pods into mining shelters or waiting for a full-on station buildout, you could deploy ready-to-use structures with the same emergency resilience but none of the inefficiencies. You’d have a base you can reconfigure at will. Want a cluster of linked pods acting as a small-scale command post? Done. Need a string of sentry hubs monitoring a high-risk salvage site? No problem. Tugs? It could do that.”

He folded his arms, his tone turning slightly more tactical.

“And since the Mining Guild would be our primary field testers, we’d work directly with you to refine each unit. Exclusive prototype access—meaning you’d get the first say in how this system evolves. We’re talking about a whole new class of equipment tailored for your needs, not just an escape pod retrofit.”

Then, with a knowing smile, he added:

“Of course, if you’re just looking for standard escape pods, we’ve got those too. But given how many ways the Guild repurposes its equipment… I get the sense you’d rather invest in something that grows with you, rather than something that just waits around for emergencies.”

Ryoji let his words settle, watching for Pax’s reaction. He had just turned a simple sale into a strategic collaboration—one that, if played right, could secure NRM’s place as the Mining Guild’s go-to supplier and put them on the path of breaking into the greater Kikyo Sector's market.
 
Iron Company Demostration

Vedica whistled low, clearly impressed by the efficiency of the engine swap. Two minutes. That was faster than most combat-engineered vehicles she’d seen—especially for something meant to be a workhorse rather than a frontline unit.

She crossed her arms, her sharp dark orange-red eyes taking in every detail as the smith continued his breakdown. “That’s a damn good turnaround,” she admitted, stepping closer to get a better look at the modular powerplant system. Her fingers lightly tapped the edge of the open engine compartment as she processed the implications. Quick-swap capability meant lower downtime in the field, and that was a game-changer.

Her thoughts turned tactical. You could keep spare power units in the field and have a Grounder operational again before a fight’s even over.

She glanced back at the demonstration of the ablative composite armor, nodding as the smith explained its balance between durability and weight reduction. “So you’ve got good impact resistance without sacrificing mobility. That’s smart,” she mused. “That whip-lizard’s strike looked like it could dent a tank, but this thing still kept rolling. And if you’re telling me I can swap out for durandium plating if weight becomes an issue, then that means this thing can be adapted for more than just agriculture.”

Vedica turned her attention back to the smith, her expression shifting from curiosity to genuine interest.

“You’ve got yourself a rugged, all-terrain multi-role vehicle. Not just for farming, but for colonists, mining crews, even salvage teams.” She gestured to the modular engine. “I’m already thinking of how the Reds are going to adapt this vehicle. If it is the only a matter of common connection points, volume of the compartment, and interfaces; I am sure Nepleslian Research and Manufacturing or someone else is going to quickly stick a new model of the "Raijin" Methanol Hybrid Engine or a shelled Compression Fusion Reactor into one of these babies the soon after they buy one."

Pax's mind raced as she processed Ryoji’s proposal. The transformation of the Last Hope Series into a modular platform resonated deeply with her vision for how the Mining Guild could utilize such technology. She tapped a finger thoughtfully against her lip, her brows furrowing slightly in contemplation.

“Wow, that’s an interesting shift in perspective,” she said, meeting Ryoji’s gaze directly. “You’re right; we do have a tendency to repurpose our gear. Flexibility is key in our line of work, especially in an ever-evolving environment.”

She glanced over at Auger, who was still enjoying Rocko’s affectionate head pats, and then back to Ryoji with renewed interest. “The idea of not just having escape pods but creating integrated workstations or mobile hubs could revolutionize our operations. The capacity to link those modules together would dramatically increase our efficiency during resource recovery and any emergency scenarios that arise.”

Pax paused, tapping the side of her head as she mulled over the implications of Ryoji's words. “And having locked-in prototype access for our guild? That’s not just advantageous; it's a partnership in the truest sense. We could tailor these designs to fit our specific missions and challenges while giving your team real-world feedback for improvements.”

“Plus, the ability to modify structures on-the-fly would massively reduce our downtime during operations,” she continued, excitement beginning to seep into her voice. “Not to mention the potential for collaborative missions where we could operate directly alongside your team in testing scenarios. The Mining Guild thrives in unpredictable environments, after all.”

She offered Ryoji a smile, her enthusiasm genuine. “If you can draft up a preliminary proposal, I can coordinate with our leadership after the expo wraps up. I think there's a real appetite for this kind of innovation across our sectors.”

Turning to Auger and Rocko, she chuckled softly. “It seems our little mascot team may have helped snag us more than just a couple of snacks today.”

With a nod of encouragement, she added, “Auger, what do you think about helping me develop a list of potential use cases we can present to the leadership team? We want them to see the full spectrum of what Ryoji just proposed.”

Pax turned back to Ryoji, her expression sincere. “Thank you for entertaining our curiosity and expanding your presentation beyond the traditional confines. I think you’ve hit upon something special here, and I want to explore it deeper. Let’s work together to make this happen for both our teams.” She extended her hand, a firm grip ready to seal this potential collaboration.
 
Auger was simply enjoying the head pats as a reward for a good job, but as she listened in to the proposal given by the Ryoji she already knew what kind of product it would lead to, it was after all very similar to the Mod-tech that her people used in ships and stations already, the efficiency of such things for the unknown was quite high, though it sounded like they would be a bit behind on the level her people had developed, then again the people in this sector always seemed to prefer specialization to modularity when it came to their tech rather then having a base with mods that could make the base specialize.

On hearing they may get more then some snacks Auger's large friendly eyes lit up with hope and joy, which seemed to positively glow as she was being offered a task with helping make up the list of uses, that would be easy considering they could simply offer the same use cases that her people used, and best of all the other D3's could help with the testing and prototyping since they all had a general idea of how to get it to work.

So she rapidly typed on the little keypad on the base of her sign the words changing so that the words on it would show up "I and the Other D3 also Volunteer to be the test pilots for the prototypes, I know there are many who would love to help in this project and the more test pilots you have the more tests can be done at the same time!" she looked extra hopeful now, the chance to bring a little feeling of home to this sector would be nice.
