Fxeni was in the hangar, prepping the Fxescythe for Operation: Station Break as PBPB walked in.
"Hey Fexy, I'm not sure we have enough time for you to be fiddling around too much with that," PBPB said as she pointed to the Fxescythe.
"It should help us for the Operation though, PBPB." Fxeni answered, wiping away some sweat from his forehead. "I made a few quick modifications to the cloaking system so that it would, in theory, be able to cover a larger radius. This way I should be able to cloak the Ardjet during our approach, at least temporarily."
"That'll certainly make it easier to sneak in to the I.S.S. undetected!" PBPB said with a grin.
"Yeah, but our timing will have to be perfect. The changes I made are kind of unstable so I doubt I'll be able to even cloak afterwards for a little while," Fxeni said as he examined the systems he modified.
"Well that's alright, once we're in we won't need it," PBPB responded confidently.
"Hopefully. Now here's what we're going to do," Fxeni said as he pulled out a schematic of the I.S.S. and pointed to a side entrance, "here's where we should probably go-"
"Hold on a sec!" PBPB said as she looked at the schematics Fxeni had spread out, "where did you get that?!"
"I have schematics of everything... just in case." Fxeni answered plainly as he looked at the schematics.
"Everything? Just in case? That somehow doesn't feel right..." PBPB said a bit uncomfortably.
Fxeni stopped looking at the schematics and turned around to look at PBPB, who was looking down towards the schematics uncomfortably. He hesitates momentarily, but then puts his hand on her shoulder. "Look Peebs... I'm just looking out for everyone in case something like this whole war happens. I've had these things forever and I haven't done anything with them until now. Besides, I'm the only one who can access these documents, I made sure of that."
"Fine, but make sure it stays that way! I swear, if it turns out that Bathair McBastard has any of these I'm going to make you get rid of all of them... forcefully if I have to," PBPB said as she poked his chest roughly.
"Don't worry, I'd get rid of them myself in that case. Both the ones here and at the Doc's place," Fxeni replied confidently as he took his hand off her shoulder.
PBPB looked at him momentarily. She knew that he was being completely honest, and he would've brought this up a long time ago if he felt like it was a threat. "You're lucky I like you, if you were any other guy I would've kicked your ass right away!" PBPB said with a grin.
"Oh I know, heh..." Fxeni said with a chuckle. "Now let's get this Operation on the road! Let's get in through this entrance, it has a few more security blind spots than any of the other ones. There should be some debris nearby we can use as cover during the approach, right around here."
"Sounds like a plan to me!" PBPB said with a nod, and she went over to the Ardjet and got in it. Before she closed the hatch, she had one question to ask. "Hey Fxeni... 'Peebs'? Really? Couldn't you have found something less lame?"
"I dunno, seemed fine at the time," Fxeni said with a shrug, then quickly scooped up the schematics and hopped into the Fxescythe.
"Well it wasn't!" PBPB said with a grin as she closed the hatch.
"Yeah yeah yeah, whatever Peebs!" said with a chuckle as he closed the hatch to the Fxescythe. The hangar doors to the Fxenodrome opened up wide, and both mechs blasted off towards the I.S.S.
