Agatha has been in her room for the last week, working on a few design ideas she's had. A lack of on-hand materials and prudency telling her to lock her door each night has kept her persistant sleepwalking under control. She's still wondering why she wakes leaning against the door each morning, but the plans keep her mind occupied.

She enters the bar now, dressed neatly. She takes a seat by Bar to have her dinner, occasionally scribbling something in the margins of the notes she brought with her.

She follows with a manic grin.

And outside, she is introduced to the SpazFrag Spacebike... it LOOKS like a motorbike... but the exausts are rocket boosters, and it simply gleams of high-tech...

Agatha raises a critical eyebrow. It strikes her as the type of shiny that minor rulers like to have to look impressive. She'll need to see the gears before she's sold.

"I think Professor Vogel was working on something similar some time back, but it never made it past the initial testing stage. . ."

Mental gears are turning. Ah, yes, the experiment to reach the Americas, and the history of either falling far too short or going way too far. Tested on the state-allocated convicts.

"Say. You wouldn't happen to have run into a pod of whales with a taste for human flesh, would you?"

"I have run into many things that like human flesh, but no whales." he climbs into the bike. "Hop in."

Agatha has low self-preservation instinct when it comes to nice gizmos. And this will let her get a closer look.

So she does.

She doesn't notice a small clank quietly hop in after her.

She has to hold on to her wits. Lobo turn on the life bubble field, and ZOOM almost stragith up, leaving Milliways and diving into Space.

Agatha was distracted by her examinations, and finds herself grabbing onto something nearby that looks sturdy and not looking like it will activate anything.

That describes Lobo... she is lkucky becuase once they reach space, intertia ceases, and she can straighten up... Lobo just accelerates, zooming away from the End of the Universe

Agatha flails slightly as she realizes this and lets go as soon as possible.

"Er. Where are we going?"

"Nowhere specific... jes' giving ya a taste." really, he sooin makes a wide lazy curve, and starts back.

"Ah. All right."

Agatha relaxes and now returns to poking at anything that doesn't look dangerous.

Boosters, cooling systems, powerplant, fuel cells... VERY elegant design.

She's at the powerplant. Looking way too closely at the fuel source.

"careful neutronium can burn ye badly."

Agatha gives a nod and moves to examining a less volitile portion of it.

Fuel comes dwon from fuel cells bak, to the powerplant... then to the dual turbo-boosters...

Agatha = Geek. Fairly fascinating, but she's not fond of the sleek design.

More as side comment, Lobo starts explaining the basics of annie-plants and plasma boosters... in a very casual tone.

Agatha absorbs it quietly, gathering more from her observations than the explanation alone.

"...then i remade the inner workings a bit here and there, to save fuel and increase thrust."

Okay, that surprised her.

"Very. . . efficient of you."

"hey, ye dont spend a lifetime among machines of destruction without learning some..." he chuckles...

Agatha nods.

"True, but my experiance has shown that most in such a position don't pick up much more than how to keep their vessel in good repair."

"I rebuilt it from nothinmg in two days... several times."

A nod, more respectful this time.

"You did an excellent job of it."

he just grins, zooming down, and landing again...
