(Setting/Close)Ritrivias workshop at Cain's Gallery
| >The catgirl appears in sight, and she is utterly speechless and surprised
"This is one big gunship... Did you seriously finish it in a few month?"

)
The backdoor of the VTOL stands open and a mixture of Yellow and bluish light shines in it.
| (Forgot to say that Ritrivia is not seen at the moment).
| (it's okay.
And well, ignore what I said before.)
>Runa immediately goes over to check out the gunship while baffled with amazement.
| > If she Goes in She will see something like that(
https://youtu.be/h1i7Lva_nJM?t=10s
The room with the Bed and the Table isn't in there, because in this room is all the Technical stuff. You can't enter it. also you can't enter the Turrets. they are Controlled by the Computer. So description is over here. Ritrivia is in the cockpit if you would search him)
| (and a little side Note: Your ship only look similar to this thing in the Video, not the same. This Video is only for the purpose to imagine better.)
| (Got it. The Star Citizen reference is amazing.)
>The catgirl keeps probing and poking everywhere around the exterior of the gunship like a baby seeing the first toy. She then hops in the backdoor and walks towards the cockpit, not without poking everything on the way.
| >As you walks in the Cockpit u can see a really tired and exhauseted looking man sitting on the ground. He wears a Ski glasses and 5 Holo monitors hovering around him. On one of them is a lot of Text/Code to see and in a very fast speed new code is wrote. It is so fast that it looks like a Maschine is doing it. On the other Monitors are Status systems and Pictures wich switch fast frequently.
On the Cockpit seat is a Cube, green light shines out of it. With serveral cords...
| >... the cube is plugged into the Console of the cockpit. The man is also Connected to the Cube with a cord which comes out of his Nerolinker in the neck.
>The Linker look's not like the Normal linkers unaugmented uses to connect to Maschines.
>The man sits with the back to you and it looks like he didn't see you.
| "Oh my god."
>Runa looks around the cockpit, and sees everything that is going on. She then calls out to the man that is sitting down.
"Time for a break, overworked engineer."
| >No reaction, does he even heared you?
| *sigh* "That dedicated, huh."
>Runa walks in front of him, putting a water bottle right in the middle.
"B-r-e-a-k time, focused-on-work engineer."
| >He turns his head fast to her, short looking at her. Abrubtly the Holomonitors freezes. Then his hand goes into his Neck pushing a button on his Neurolinker.
"Oh hey"
>He massages his Forehead.
"Since when u are here?"
>He take a longe breath
|
| "Not long. In fact I've just been here since... 5 minutes ago. Time to take a break."
| >She continues
"And this is a miracle, constructing and finishing it for a few months."
| "Well, it isn't complete finiesh jet."
>He sayed looken into her eyes.
"But good that you are here. I need you to Calibrate your special feature. Know what i mean?"
| >She nods
"Yeah, like test-run and all that kind of stuff to get me used to piloting it, right? What could go wrong while piloting an unfinished plane?"
| >He chuckels witha slight smile
"Well u could completly crash it and we must begin at start again. But don't worry to much about it. I am with you. If things go wrong i will switch back to normal steering and fly it myself."
"But should we take a short fly before?"
>His tired eyes with large black cycles around them looking a her's expacting an answer.
| >She grins widely
"Of course yes, we shall take a short fly~ Take a seat, we're going places. And I flew planes before, so don't worry, I'm not going to crash... maybe."
>She then jumps into the pilot seat, finds the wires then fiddles with them. In the spot where her missing cat ear is, a tube? with cable plugs emerges. Runa then plugs the cable with her tube?
"Alright Retrivia, take a seat and wait a few minutes until I know how this thing works."
| >As he sees the impatient Runa, he must grins again.
"Better you fly it unrigged first, because i don't know what happened if u would fly rigged. You can also switch on the fly to rigged Steering. Oh and pls be carefull with the rigging emulator on the Seat."
| "Eh, unrigged? That's boringggg... but it's the engineer's tip, so I'll do it. First time in a few years... oh boy."
>She quickly reaches for the switches, as if she's familiar with the layout already. The backdoor closes and she's ready for takeoff.
"Can you open the ceiling?"
| "ceiling? Can't be opened, we are directly under the Gallery. But I can open the door on side of the of the workshop in front of us. There is a goods lift wich brings us upwards"
>As he say so the large frontdoor opens
>Also he puts out his cord from The Rigging Emulator box and plugs it into another datasocket, next to were she has plugged in.
| "Oh...okay.... Wait what? We're still under the gallery? Just how big can this gallery be... Oh well."
>She switches on the engine, and starts to pull on what resembles a rudder. The VTOL lights up and starts to hover towards the lift through the big door.
"Yup my skills hasn't gotten rusty...eeckk!"
>The plane starts to lean too much towards the left, threatening to crash to the ground, but its orientation is quickly fixed.
"..."
"This is going to be a wild ride."
| >The VTOL goes of abruptly
>Ritrivia looking to her with big eyes
"Pls don't begin to hover in here, this thing has also wheels"
| >Than the Vtol Starts again with a friendly electrical humming. after that it rolls to the automatically
"Let me steer it out for you"
>Near Ritrivia you can see a holoscreen again.
| >It rolls slowly to the Lift, and than the lift moves upwards. Now you are behind the Gallery on a huge place. Several container standing around here. It looks like an common load and unload place.
| "B-but... *sigh* I guess..."
>Her attention shifts to the surroundings.
"Wow, this is one big space for a gallery... Cain has a bigger market than I thought."
| "Yep she have. I was also surprised."
"Maybe i should explain some Buttons and switches before we take off"
| "With that switch you can turn on/Off the Big main thrusters. Without them Turned on only hovering is possible. I did that because only hovering have a lower heatsignature. Hovering is turned on here, but i guess u already now it yet. Here u can turn on the little driving, like i did over my Programm manually. This Buttons over there are for controlling the Shield genrators and the cloaking device. Oh and if
you fly to fast..."
| "... than the cloaking device will stop working. Guess that is the importend stuff for now. The Rest you can read in the manuals."
>He expplains.
>If you look around the console u see an showy red button with the Text "Boost" on it he didn't explained.
| "Oh and before i forget if you really wanna rigg this thing than you can't it over the port which you plugged in at the moment. Like i said i hided it. If you put your Finger over here, you can activate the Rigging port. There is a finger scanner under the console, thats why it will only work for you or me.
| "Oh... okay. Got it. Guess I can't have the best of both worlds."
>She unplugs the cable, and then memorizes the information that he just gave her.
"Are there any countermeasures, like flares installed on this VTOL?"
| "Yep there are, they are in the Tail like thing at the end. You can easely change them if they got empty. But to be Honest The shields should be enough to stop a rocket, I guess u will never use the countermeasures often"
| "Okay. I got enough instructions, so it's time to take off."
>Runa reaches for the switches again. The VTOL hovers, then she starts the main engine. It rumbles then flies away, leaving the gallery behind.
"Takeoff complete. We are in the air. Activating cloak."
>With a few moments, she decelerates, and the VTOL drifts through the air gracefully.
"This thing works well. Good job Ritrivia."
| "Thanks, if u flew enough around than say some thing. After that i will work on the rigging Configuration with u together. Meanwhile i will Programm the Shields for the sound speed. NUdge me if u are ready"
>With that sayed he pushes the Button of his linker again. Serveral Holo interfaces pops open, and Code and pictures flickers in them in a unhuman speed.
| "Mhm."
>Runa looks back, seeing him being busy. She then takes control of the VTOL and flies around while humming to herself
"Do you wanna go anywhere in particular?"
| >He Pushes the Linker Button again.
"What u wanna say? Know, if i Push this button i Overclock my brain Frequenz, With that i will think 10 times Faster and thats also why i can't Understand you because u Speaking to slow."
| >Her eyes widen
"oh okay... so I just need to speak 10 times faster to communicate while you're in overclock mode..."
>.........few minutes later
*ahem* "sodoyouwanttogosomewhere or shouldweworkonthenextfeature?"
| >His hand goes into his neck pushing the Button. And he have a ride smile on his face.
"That sound super funny, cause u are still speaking in slow motion. but i got it. You do not happen to have 2 rigging slots installed on your body? Cause configurating the Rigging mode would be easier if we are linket together, but Only if u allow me a dircet connection."
>He asks considerate.
| "2 ports? Nope, sorry. Only 1 here."
>She points at the tube where her missing ear is, there is only one slot, it is shaped for rigging large-scale objects.
"I have no idea how to allow a direct connection with only 1 port."
>She sinks in her seat, thinking of a way to make the configuration easier to do.
| After a short moment of thinking, Ritrivia is searching somthing on the ground.
"I could bet it was here somewere"
>He mutters more to himself instead to Runa
"It most be drop down after the take off"
| >Runa looks back at Retrivia, but then loses focus on him. Instead all of her attention is now on the VTOL, and looks like she is currently just messing around with the controls, waiting for further instructions.
| "Ah over there it is"
"Hey Runa can u look under the cockpit near your Right feed, there is an rigging adapter in 'Y' form. Can u give me that"
>He is pointing to the direction, were it must lay.
| >During she searches the adapter he changes the Cords on the glowing Cube which he called a Rigging Emulator befor.
| "Ah. Okay."
>She fiddles under the seat a little bit, then takes out a long cable that splits into 2.
>The VTOL still hovers in the air.
| "okay, now start the rigging mode by pressing your finger to the place on the console I showed you before."
>Ritrivia explains
| >She follows the instructions exactly as he told, putting her finger on the console and begins rigging mode.
| >A Metal hood begins to surround the cockpit's window. While it getten darker and darker in the cockpit, green light is switched on and also the UI colors switches from blue to green. The Control panels shiftind to the sides and now reavel, in the middle of them, the necessary data jacks for largescale rigging. as the hole pocess finishes the Cockpit looks like and really awesome darkcyperpunk Hacker rigging cockpit, with all the light monitors and holo interfaces.
| "well plug in the Adapter, yourself and this Cord here from the emulator"
>he said, holding a cord to runa
>She can easily see the port because it is highlighted with lights.
| "Okie."
>She takes the cord and easily plugs in the adapter, then uses the cord to plug it in her rigging port.
"Now the real fun starts, right? I can see all the stuff that I could do on all these interfaces."
| "Jep, u can i should feel so trustfull like moving with your arm's and leg's... hopefully, U must only press the Start Button under the Connector"
| (*Hopefully u can read this. I messed up with the punctuation marks and
orthography ~.~')
| (still comprehensible, don't worry)
>Runa press the *start* button, then she can feel all the familiar rigging interface. It's coming back to her.
>The VTOL starts to go slightly wild and unstable as she's still getting used to the rigging.
| >The VTOL feels a little bit wired. It looks like there a slightly setup mistakes, because it feels a little bit heavier on the left side than on the right.
(Btw. What kind of rigging did runa use? Is it that kind were she can't move, hear etc. Because she is completely drown in the connection, until she disconnects? Or did it work otherway?
"Is all okay?"
>Ritrivia ask with a little bit of worry in his voice.
| (What I'm going for is a neural interface that connects directly to the brain. it's the kind with the restricted moment, she can only move a little.)
>She doesn't look back, and her eyes are closed.
"Yeah, but it's kinda weird. This imbalance... something's not right. Can you do something about it?"
| >A short moment it feels like nothing happen. The Runa hear a quiet noise from him.
"Hmm...">Then it gets quiet in the cockpit again.
"Imbalance you say... Can't see here anything..."
>After he sayed that with a kind of surprise and unbelive in his voice, you can feel some touches and pushes on your original bodys right side.
| >It ends in a lovely constant pressure and a smell of decent man perfume. A click and some button pressing can be heared from the Cockpits Console in front of Runa.
"Can you relax for a moment and give in to the balance? Then maybe the vehicle will move a little bit, but for now I find no differences here."> U hear Ritrivias voice now directly next to your Right ear.
| >The catgirl doesn't move, instead she just turns her head to Retrivia to reply, her eyes still closed.
"Yeah... it's definitely not because someone is pushing me, righttttt?"
>She turns back to the cockpit again, this time smiling.
"Nice perfume though, haven't used one in years..."
>the cockpit goes silent again, as Runa concentrates on breathing. After some time in silence...
"All systems green now. Test flight commencing. Set course to... Where?"
>She seems to be waiting.
| >During she concentrates. the VTOL begins to move slightly to the left and also begins truning to left on the Y axis. Then u can hear some noises from the console and the movements get slower and slower until they stop completly.
"None, for first. Before we flight we should test if you can Turn off and on the Shield and the cloack. Check if countermeasures work, and try out if u can move the large mainthrusters. They can be turned for better steering."
| >During she tests out, no complicaton happen. He also explains her that the shield have Polymorphismus, with that she can adjust the sthrengh of the shields for the different ship sides individually. He also explains that the ship is possible to break sound barrier but she have to be carefull and check if the complete shieldstrength is on the ships nose, Otherwise the VTOL will get damaged. And so on...
| All over all it takes so long for them to test each feature until it becomes dark outside. But then finally Ritrivia sayed for what Runa waited the whole day and the half night.
"Now u can fly wereever you want Runa"
>Ritrivia again stands behinde her all of his Technical stuff is disconnected. All whats left now is Runa wich is now the only one connected to the vehicle.
| >Her cat ear perks up as she hear that she can fly wherever she wants to.
*sigh* "It's dark now, so I'm just going to take a quick fly around the city and then back to the gallery to drop you off. You must be tired already from this long day. Take a rest."
>She set the course to fly from Uptown to several districts. The VTOL's engine roars and the sound is eventually stable as it flies across the city again- sometimes flying at low attitude to see the nightlife at its finest-
| >Then, Runa feels like something is missing again. Ah yes, the sound of silence is deafening. So to make things less dull, she turns on the radio, and some vapor/synthwave music begins to fill the plane's speakers, creating a relaxing atmosphere.
>As the flight continues, the window expands. You can see cars moving around frantically like ants, neon lights flashing around several buildings, occasional explosions, and the slums.
>She then activates autopilot.
"Glitch City huh..."
| >He nods slightly
"...ja a beautiful modern City with an awful amount of Crazy people"
>He completes her sentence.
>After a few moments of flying over the City he asks.
"May i ask for what do you want this Aircraft?" His voice sounds a littlebit worried, and also slightly sad.
| >Runa doesn't look at you, so you can't tell her expression from behind, but her tone... slight regret?
"Get some friends here and survive in this city. I'm... too deep in this mess to leave now."
>Soon the plane completes its trip around the city, and is now en route back to the gallery.
| "Sounds known...">He take breath
"Wish you the best, hope my invention will help you a lot in future"
>After that sayed, he sits down on the ground and lean on the iron wall of the cockpit. He pulls out a small Zylinder with a green liquid in and a needle on one of the sides. Than he injects himself with it by pushing it into his upper leg.
"urgh..."
| "..."
>She stayed silent and keeps rigging the VTOL. Runa may not be able to see Retrivia, but she can still hear his groan and the sound of injection. But she decided to let it pass for now.
>Sooner or later, the gallery is visible through the window.
| "I guess then the flight is over.">He stands up from the ground.
"Well i think you have already seen it, I consumed 640 mill zenny from your Bank account. There a Still 160 mill Left."
| >After they landed he asks.
"Do you have any last questions or do you feel like that a feature is missing? At the moment i can work on it, but in future it could be difficulty."
| >Runa disengage from her rig, stands up unsteadily.
"No, it's fine, you can keep the bank account."
>Her voice seems a little bit concerned
"I advise you spend the money in a year. They are coming."
>She then opens up the back door wide open.
"I do not need anything else, thank you."
| "You aren't kidding right?">he says like he didn't trust her words about the money.
| "Not kidding. The bank is one of many that is tied to my name after all.Of course they are going to find out sooner or later...
I wouldn't want my friend to be in some *personal business* now."
>Runa walks Retrivia to the back of the plane and escorts him out.
"Later dude. If this thing breaks down I'll know who to call."
>She waves goodbye to him innocently.
| >He waves back
"Be carefull, and stay healthy and alive."
>He call back during the backdoor of the VTOL closes slowly
| >It then takes off in the distance, disappearing somewhere. Everything is quiet again.
| >Then Ritrivia goes down with the large cargo lift, back into the even larger workshop under Cain's Gallery. There he ordered his drones, which builded the VTOL for him, to clean the whole place, during he tidy his Office.
>He looks a littebit lost, like he lost his goals. Should he ask Cain for a permanent job here at the Gallery? Also he need to rest. He took too many of his drugs to stay focused at work and also to do this job in these incredible short amount of time.
| >He still feels sick, dizzy and tired because of that. It was to much. But it made fun.
>Rittrivia turns off the ligths and leaves the office and the workshop. Tired looking but with a slightly smile on his face.

To Drones Hovering around it polishing this massive VTOL. In the Hall u can also see serviral Indutry maschines, some of them working and otherones not.
The VTOL itself looks really unique.(https://i.imgur.com/4cljPtH.jpgand
