Keira squatted down next to the Laser weapon and whistled quietly. She pulled a small pair of tweezers and pliers from her pocket and pulled open the weapons wire and control hatch, and went to work. She wasn't this units actual Weapons Sergeant, but she was in her previous bases and well, she knew how everything that could go 'boom' worked, everything. From gattling canons to Laser rifles, to nuclear and EMP bombs.<br/><br/>Keira looked up at Jal as she lit a cigarette and asked Keira about herself. Keira squinted slightly, putting down her pliers and the keeping the tweezers in her hand firmly, she chuckled for a moment before looking out towards the main hangar doors.<br/><br/>"<strong>I don't know, there isn't much to tell. My folks died when I was pretty young, we were farmers pretty much. My brother kept us all fed and under shelter, he didn't even get to goto school after our parents died, so getting a job was always tough on him, but we made ends meet. Then one day, the government where I was from decided that my younger sisters and brothers were better off in State custody and...I dunno. After that, I joined the Army and...here I am.</strong>" Keira shrugged, she rarely talked about her past, it was a mix of unusual as most people didn't talk much and uncomfortable considernig her past and all the things that had gone wrong. Keira always asked herself, 'why us' when the idea came to mind, but she rarely liked to dwell on that type of thing. "<strong>Naw, I'm pretty boring I guess...what about you?</strong>"<br/><br/>Keira pulled on a wire and completely yanked it out. "<strong>Here...I just increased your air flow and firing time with this...only by a second or two, but it helps. The weapon is nice, a bit overdesigned. The fire system is a joke, I could whip up one thats 50 times better in a few weeks, I could replace it with this one. But beyond that, its nice. Might add a little too much weight to one side of your mech though, but you can compensate with altering the hydrolic flow to your support legs there...</strong>"
