Okay, so...JE and I did a little brainstorming about what Niassa has been up to, and the Wolf has been off on an errand for the ikkle tinkerer's behalf.  Specifically, Rose has had some trouble being taken seriously when she goes a-hunting for bits and bobs and weird bits of junk to use as components, so a certain Croc volunteered Niassa as someone more intimidating and impressive to go retrieve all the things.
