“she shot herself in the foot when she bought the equipment on the cheap, the sea hates the stingy.”
 
they finish up after a few minutes, thankfully it wasn’t a terribly difficult fix.

@Cerebrate19  
she gives keen a knuckle bomb and begins to head in

Gemini is sitting where she had told Skye to meet her when she was done with her work. While nobody is looking, she grabs her coffee cup and pulls a flask from her suit, pouring a little in

@Toffee  
drinking on a rig was illegal, no matter who you are. Despite this skye met up with her  
Keen will be here in a second.

@Jinx  
(It is only illegal during working hours)
 
“Good…” she took a sip of her drink, letting the warmth run through her. “Please, take a seat…”

@Toffee
 
@Jinx  
“the second is over, boss, ill have the full damage report ready by evening, including parts used and parts required.”
 
with that he stretched his muscles and took a seat.

the dragoness pulled something from one of her massive wings, folding them up afterwards and sitting down
 
Keen, one of your feathers got caught in my wing, here.  
she handed it to him

@Jinx  
“oh sure i’ll glue it right back on, one moment.”
 
he was dripping with sarcasm.
 
“no but seriously, why did you feel the need to hang on to it?”

@Cerebrate19  
I didnt know it was there until just a minute ago. Besides, im not sweeping up your feathers birdhorse.

@Cerebrate19  
“Very well.” She took another sip of her drink before talking again “Now, you may wonder why you are here. Well, I have to inform you both to be on high alert for anyone acting… unusual. In addition to this, you both will be supplied with stun guns. If, and when, you notice something suspicious I need you to report it to me in person. I want complete radio silence on this matter. That is all. Questions?”

@Toffee  
Yeah, why and what?

@Jinx  
“I’m afraid I am not permitted to tell you such things. Just look out for ponies acting different than they usually would…”

@Jinx
 
@Toffee  
“you think what happened today was Sabotage?”

“No… not exactly… I will tell you both in time, but for now, just keep your eyes open…”

@Toffee  
“alright boss, if you’re sure something’S not right that’s good enough for me.”

she sighs
 
alright, im gonna trust this isnt some joke…

“Here” she grabs a suitcase from next to the couch and opens it, revealing two tasers. She hands one to Skye and one to Keen. “Now, get back to work.”

@Toffee  
“gotcha, boss.”
 
he grabs one and conceals it in his overall.

@Toffee  
skye immediately put hers on the lowest setting and tazer zapped keen

@Jinx  
“i am disturbed that i did not see this coming the second the lid opened…”

@Cerebrate19  
“She does it again and you have permission to tase her at the highest setting.”

@Cerebrate19  
she laughs a bit  
Cmon, lets go finish up out there. Its almost dinner, then beds.

@Toffee
 
@Jinx  
“i’d like to point out that being referee in your catfight is NOT in my contract… boss, private issues are really your own problem. lizard lips, she can decide not to see it when you do well, remember that.”

@Jinx  
Gemini pulls out a two pieces of paper from her suit, handing one to each of them. “These are vouchers for free meals the rest of the week. A token of my gratitude. Now Skye, I must ask you to depart, I need to talk to Keen… alone.”

@Cerebrate19  
(I’m so confused at what you were just saying)
