[not too long after his conversation with Orion came to end, he immediately set about gathering parts to create a special scanner that could detect the energy stamps of console activity, as Orion so kindly put it. so far, he's managed to completely cannibalise both sides of his suite's barcode scanner, the remaining items not used by the TARDIS--leaving only one functioning heating coil for tea of course, as well as the fridge--and a maintenance robot he caught trying to repair his barcode scanner and later dismantled.

currently, he sits in the living area of his suite, all these parts spread around him in what looks to be utter chaos, but makes complete and rational sense to him. he has his glasses on with an attachment to the right side that contains various additional lenses for close-up detail work--and wears an expression of complete concentration and is seemingly unaware of anyone else in the room. until he looks up at those in the room with him.]

How are the rest of you lot coming? I think I have everything from Orion's list here to create what we need, but there's a few ways we can go about it. I'm just about done with mine, I think. Need to do a couple calibration tests. This...hasn't been made easy with all the strange physics defying anomalies--and frankly, I would've been done long before now [doesn't bother to hide his annoyance in regards to that.]

If you had asked, I would have been here sooner.

[bit_impossible]

...And where were you?

[hisoldgirl]

..out.

[bit_impossible]

Well, then you have no right chastising me since you should have known I'd be doing something of this kind. Besides, you're here now, so the point's moot.

[oliverplus]

So, how much longer, you think, before we get to run around the ship with that?

[bit_impossible]

[looks down and begins to fiddle with something in the wiring] Not...too much longer I hope.

[oliverplus]

What's the plan, anyway? I mean, we've gotta bring Orion with us, and you can bet the captain won't take that lying down.

[notwithoutasoul.livejournal.com]

I will go. What must be done?

[bit_impossible]

Ah well, once I get this device complete--or some of the others do; we're all working with thee same parts--I want to send people out to search for those command consoles. This should help locate them.

[then he realises something] I'm sorry, we've never met before, young man. I'm the Doctor.

[notwithoutasoul.livejournal.com]

I will search, then.

Nataku.

Are you planning on building more than one?

[bit_impossible]

Of course I am, don't be daft. I didn't go through all this trouble to gather all the parts here if I was merely planning on making one.

[by-my-will.livejournal.com]

[slightly annoyed eye twitch at being called daft, but otherwise ignores it]

Then I'll help build.

[drivinsandrock.livejournal.com]

I have some pieces of the security bots that I was reprogramming left if you need them. I could make some of the scanners as well.

[bit_impossible]

Bring it all over, Quatre! There should be some space left on the floor for you to work.

[drivinsandrock.livejournal.com]

That sounds great! I just picked up some new tea from the stores, now that we can safely get out and about. I'll bring it over.

[heresthebasics.livejournal.com]

So Doc, what's this you've been cooking up?

[bit_impossible]

It's a device to find those command consoles that Orion doesn't know the location of.

[heresthebasics.livejournal.com]

You mean the ones he's not sure even exist?

[savetheliving.livejournal.com]

Is that for the scanner to find the backup consoles?

[bit_impossible]

[slowly, not exactly looking up from his work. he's at a delicate point in the construction.] Yep... I didn't wake up this morning with a strong desire to dismantle every electronic item I could get my hands on.

[savetheliving.livejournal.com]

How many do you expect to build?

[ghostin-myshell.livejournal.com]

[walks in with Chroma and Conan in tow, all three of them carrying a decent amount of technology they'd been salvaging from her room and a couple of public places a few floors up]

Sorry I'm late, Doctor, I thought I'd bring my own supplies. Still need another hand or six?

[bit_impossible]

The more the better! Come on in! [grins at her, two finished devices sitting next to him, and he has a third halfway constructed in his hand.]

[ghostin-myshell.livejournal.com]

[notices them as she finds a place to set down her things] Have you had a chance to test those yet?

[finds a place to sit and starts pulling apart the barcode scanner ripped from her own room for the necessary parts]
