"Well, being a detective wasn't part of the job when you signed up here anyway, so I'm not going to fault you for it."<br/><br/>With a look back toward her, Skorn laughed for a moment. Nevertheless, her experience was one thing that he didn't find funny at all.<br/><br/>Titania was the real deal that was for sure. The fact that she was talking about building entire ships, probes and such made him all the more sure that she was, indeed, every bit as skilled as it had certainly seemed like she was.<br/><br/>Soon, though, her questions had shaken him suddenly back to the realm of reality.<br/><br/>What she had asked, of course, had a certain way of doing that considering the importance of this particular building project.<br/><br/>"I think that I'm actually about done here. That means that we should have plenty of time to conduct a test first, but naturally I'm not entirely sure if you want to do so."<br/><br/>Skorn was of the opinion, of course, that they shouldn't have risked it.<br/><br/>What he didn't know, though, was that the individual who had them rebuilding this thing actually had ended up having something in mind for them, and what it was hadn't necessarily been safe.<br/><br/>While he might not have realized it, Skorn should have known from the beginning that he was actually going to be pressed into flying it.<br/><br/>For now, though, the mechanic was blissfully unaware of the fact that someone was actually going to try to get him to do something crazy like that.<br/><br/>That made the irony of what he said next all the sweeter.<br/><br/>"I would never want to fly in a ship that used this engine, despite the fact that I trust the two people who worked on it to be honest."<br/><br/>Generally he was someone who put a great deal of pride into his work. Had Titania known him before now, that might very well have been a shocking statement to her and illustrated just how strange everything was with this operation.
