Jal snickered slightly, and stood up. "Depends; think you can help me Install a Heavy Combat Laser, even with me bitching if you mark up my 'Mech too much?" She then paused, stretched and smiled. "Oh, don't tell anyone, but I am a Commissioned officer; I just didn't give a crap about my Superiors, so they tossed me over here with the rest of the misfits and people that'd lobotomize their superiors if they get out of line." She grinned, deliberately goofy, as she walked over to her 'Mech again, taking her time in popping the seals on the crate that held the ten foot-long Laser.<br/><br/>Opening the Crate, she examined the weapon for a long moment, noting that the packager did a good job by Separating the focusing lenses and storing them separately in a foamed compartment so they wouldn't be scraped on anything. Nodding to herself, she checked the connections in the weapon itself, making sure that nothing had loosened in transit, then, only after she was satisfied did she slip each lens into its proper location, the slightly-curved and crystalline units set up to focus the beam into an eight-centimetre wide shaft of light that could sear its way through reinforced steel plate.<br/><br/>Climbing into the back of her 'Mech, Jal took some time to set up a manual crane hoist to lift the Laser into Position, while she asked Keira to inspect the heavy weapon for anything she had missed. "I'm hoping I can recess it slightly under the armour plate on this side, Keira, so I have more cover on the left flank. The Right's pretty-well covered with the AT rotary, at least."<br/><br/>Pausing, she Climbed back into the Open part of her 'Mech's carapace, laying down flat inside to examine the line through the pre-cut hole she had made earlier. "Looks good from in here, but I'll shave off some plating from the inside so the muzzle is about three inches in; that'll give it a nice, wide arc of fire."<br/><br/>Getting back up, And climbing out of the opened section, she quickly retrieved a portable fusion cutter and protective mask, and set to work.
