I wanted you to come eat with me, but then I lost track of time myself...

So after I finished eating, I got a portion bagged up to bring over.

Ooh, thanks.

Make sure you eat it.

Mm-hm, I will.

Anything else?

Is this Saria's Charged Suit?

That it is.

How much longer will you be working?

An hour or two-ish.

Well, that's no good. Let me help you out there.

It's fine, I can do it.

Either you let me help you, or I feed you your meal. Pick one.

Ugh...

Alright fine I get it! Give me a hand.

Hehe~

Then let's get to work~

Phew. We're done.

Good work.

C'mere and wash your hands.

Alright—

*Sigh*... It's only times like these I miss all of Rhine's self-cleaning facilities.

So why don't you go back?

If I went back, they'd set me up with a mountain of annoying work, and I'd have no time to improve my Meeboos.

And, like, I had to deal with interpersonal stuff there too.

Like you don't have to here?

You're always out on fieldwork. You don't know all the politics and warring between sections.

Over there, right? You'd make a new friend one day, turn around, and bam, someone tells you 'they're from the blah-blah section, best you stay away from them.'

And what's worse is even if you're in the same section, sometimes your bosses are competing and you're all trying to drag each other down.

That's stuff I'm, like, just not good at dealing with.

So I ended up scarpering here.

I see...

Sorry, I shouldn't have asked you about...

It's okay...

Alright, let's eat.

Then I should be on my way.

Meeboos, can I ask you to keep an eye on her? Otherwise she'll go straight back to work the moment I'm gone.

My Meeboos don't have voice modules. They won't answer you.

I still have to nag you.

Okay then. This time I'm really off. Bye-bye.

Bye bye.

Hmm, maybe I should put those part orders through before I eat—

Whuah! What the hell are you doing, Meeboos?!

It's just a little bit of work. I'm not gonna forget to eat.

Ugh...

Fine, I get it, I'm eating, I'm eating now!

Phew, I'm stuffed. Alright, work!

Mmm, order parts first or fix some Meeboos first?

Meeboos win out, yeah. Meeboos are more important.

C'mere.

Lemme see—

Touch up paint, inspect wiring, update data, replenish energy.

That's what Meeboo maintenance is made of...

Better!

Still four more on mission duty, and my five reserve ones need servicing too.

What time is it, again?

Looks like I can get 'em done today.

Mmm...

Probably. Probably can.

As long as nobody else—

Mayer! Open up!! Work needs you!

Oh, c'mon, for fffff~!@~#!@...

*Huff*, *huff*.

Stay cool.

In—out, in—out.

Smile~

Alright.

Whoa, so you're in.

What's got you all smiles and rainbows?

You come here. I'll tell you.

Sure—

See? This is a Meeboo.

I know.

Stick your hand out. It's got something good for you.

Huh, don't hear that every day. Wonder what it is?

Meeboo, get his ass.

Aaaaarggh-don't-bite-me-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow!!!

Late night

Ahhh—finally.

All done!

Everything I planned this morning is all done!

Ahh—that doesn't count. I made the executive decision just now to move ordering parts to tomorrow.

Lemme see what I gotta do tomorrow.

Go to the Procurement Department and order parts.

Need to install test equipment for Medical.

Oh, gotta debug my workbench again.

That should settle tomorrow's lineup.

Time is... 11:36.

Mm, yeah, I should crash.

Eat a bowl of instant noodles and then sleep.

See you tomorrow, Meeboos.

Agh—ow, ow!

Rhodes Island Landship

'Lutra Workshop'

Don't blink now, Closure.

Meeboo SUPER, select M-11 Originium-Proof Coating from the table.

(There's a dozen types of coating here, and they all pretty much look and feel the same sans packaging.)

Got it in one.

C'mon, that's just basic stuff.

There's a broken component in this thermal sensor. Repair it in three minutes, Meeboo SUPER.
