T'was a fine day, clear skies and soft gusts of wind wafting over the once post-apocalyptic wasteland. It'd been a decade now, ten whole years since the world had been ravaged. Now however, one could finally sense the rebuilding efforts as they happen around them. One such scenario was giving the denizens of Fairhaven easy access to electrical energy, and this is exactly what one fennec with a shallow wallet and shady motives would be trying to accomplish today.
Giant spool of heavy-duty wiring? "Check." Table of assorted tools and equipment? "Check." Confirmation that the area had been scoured of unwanted feral activity? "Cherkerooni." Magnus would flick away his list, marking one item after the other. Now all that was missing was... ah, yes! Music! He'd pull out his laptop from within his pack, and open it up. His fingers glide over the touchpad as he browses for the appropriate song. Feeling classical, he opts for something from Johnny Mercer and the Pied Pipers. Once the merry tune gets playing, now one other thing was missing... the crew.
Khaybat meanwhile is already here since she just kind of goes along with Magnus when he wants to do missions. She bounces around the area, not having brought her Gameboy with since it would likely get dinged by falling things, though that leaves her to entertain herself and she seems to have chosen to chase around a piece of newspaper that is flying around the area. It's best not to ask!
Kar chuckles as he talks to a group of mutants, before high fiving a fox that was besides him and waves as he walks towards the work area while the group disperses. As he arrives, he sees the fennec and waves to him. "Hey there, Magnus. Seems like we are working together again."
Kastianna steps out from an alleyway, stretching her arms and letting out a big yawn. When she stopped yawning she also stopped walking and blinked. She look at Magnus, Khay, and Kar, confused. "Uhhh... what's going on here?" Kasti asked, unsure of herself. She took a few more steps forward, getting closer to Magnus, her curiosity peaking. The taur was oddly dressed up in sort of nurse's type scrubs, modified to fit her body and conceal certain details ((*cough* her loins *cough*)). Her ears flicked a little bit, feeling the after-noon air breezing over her.
Arriving on foot his large membranous wings draped over his shoulders as if they were a cloak Ebreus makes his way down the street to the jobsite. Smiling as he spies people already gathering he says, "Hello Magnus, Khay." greeting those whom he recognized then looking to those he didn't. "And new faces... I'm Ebreus nice to meet you."
"Heya, lad." Magnus answers, short and sweet. He'd take a seat on the table and bob his head in time with the rhythm of the music being played, awaiting the rest of the crew. As he does so, several serious looking canines in armor, armed with pistols and submachine guns move in to greet him with a nod. "Area's secure, we left squad B in structures A-12 and C-8 to overview the procedures, just in case someone gets jumped. Other than that, we're here if ya need us." With a smile and a bob of the head, Magnus dismisses the group with a wave of the hand, tracing them as they disappear amidst the rubble.
"Just doing what we can to secure electricity for the rest of the city. Did the boys disturb you? Sorry about that, I sent them to check for hostiles, we don't want to have anyone fall while working on the installation, so uh... yeah! You look like a clever one, fancy earning some easy creds?" the charismatic fox casts her a wink, then offers her a copy of the local map. "Here. I drew a rough map of the best spots to run the wiring through, but that's not really my forte. Maybe you can improve on it."
Once Ebreus steps up, the fox nods and greets him as per usual, with bob of the nose. Rising onto his feet, he'd clasp his hands, then whistle sharply to draw the others' attention! "Right, lads! We'll be doing something simple today. We're finally gonna be distributing power among the city, and this requires wiring. Now, I think we can all agree that dangling the damn things off of poles is a terrible idea, and with all the ground burrowing rodents in the area, burrying them isn't such a neat thing to consider either! But I have an idea. We have a lot of stable structures still standing. I need someone to assist in ensuring they won't be going down any time soon, however."
Pausing for a moment, the fox then gestures towards the tools on the table he'd set aside. "I also need someone nimble helping me securing these damn things to the structures! Hammers, drills, nails and other such utilities are all here." he'd then gesture towards Kastianna. "This lady here is currently looking over my rough draft of where to run these lines, we'll see if anything needs tweaking. If so, take her word for it, I'm jsut a novice at this business. RIGHT! Who's gonna do what, then?"
Khaybat meanwhile goes to sit down next to Magnus though she's doing it on all-fours which probably looks a little silly since she's not actually a quadrupedal dragon! Not that she appears to notice as she listens to Senpai explain what's happening though she doesn't try to chirp in yet, letting the others decide on what they wanted to do!
Kar smiles and waves to Ebreus. "Hey there, Ebreus. I'm Kar, we met when I was visiting Draken a while ago." He looks towards Magnus as he calls their attention. After the explanation, he nods. "While I can't say it's the ideal solution, it at least allows for better conditions to work, when a more permanent job can be done." He stretches his arms before shifting into a latex succufox. "I'll help with installing the wires, if that's OK with you guys."
Kastianna blinks, unsure of what to say or do at the moment as she was just suddenly handed a map with sketches. "I um... Sure? I guess." Kasti was extremely confused, her head tilting to one side as she looked over the map, studying it. "Hey fennec man... I think if we head directly east it might save on resources and time, the buildings are mostly intact in that direction."
Ebreus nods, "Ah, right. Nice to meet you again Kar." he says. Stepping over to Kastianna, "Mind if I take a look?" he asks as he looks over the map of the area and where the wires were planned to go. "Hmm... this much wiring we'll need to plan for periodic capacitors or whomever does the fine tuning after us will have to take down all the wire and redo it. East does look like the best direction to start in..." he says as he trails off mentally mapping out where capacitors will be needed, "Okay... planning for capacitors in these places" he points out places across the map, "will speed up later installation greatly."
