I don't mean to be a nuisance, but...is anyone good with electronics, or repairing them? I could use some help fixing something I got from home.

[Okay, so maybe adding the finishing touches on a suit of fusion-powered armor is a bit beyond the typical electronics hobbyist, but in Rick's mind anyone that can successfully fiddle with a circuit board is intelligent enough to build a jetpack. Right? Isn't that how these things work?]

[Once April gets to the workshop, she makes a beeline for the suit though she's still polite enough to give Rick a little wave before she gets her tech geek on and examines the suit. Yeah, this is certainly way more complex than April was expecting, but if there's one thing she's a genius at, it's electronics. Plus she has her technopathy too.]

... Ah, this is pretty complex... I think you would have needed someone who was beyond good with electronics, but luckily I'm more than good with them! [A rare glimpse into the very small ego that April hardly shows before she decides to use her technopathy to better examine this, her eyes starting to glow a pale green. She can't go as in depth as she usually would thanks to how she's still waiting for her real powers to fully return, but it'll still help give her a better idea about this suit.]

[Rick glances up from his absentminded staring at the table with the intent of being friendly, but all that comes out is a deep red blush. He recognizes April from bumping into her at the carnival, and--even compared to his other meetings, that's still enough to make him feel awkward about seeing her again.]

[At least she's more focused on the armor than himself. Rick diligently gets out of her way so she can examine the pieces; the innards, much like the open backplate, are exceptionally complex; but unlike the misshapen bunch of cables exposed, the contents are built with an almost elegant organization. The functions of each part are not immediately obvious, though April's technopathy should let her figure them out with some concentration--and realize that the designer was a genius.]

[It will become immediately obvious that the suit's left arm is missing. As all wires and tubing goes to the back, the small explosion of electronics there point towards it being the skeleton of some kind of power supply. There are a couple of exposed chips drawing from this area, though, which must go to another missing part--probably the jetpack Rick mentioned.]

...C-Can you...? [Speaking of the blonde man, he's only now gotten up the nerve to actually talk to April after watching her stare at the suit for a while.] I-I m-mean...d-does it m-make any s-s-sense?
