"I've fixed up a couple of ships here and there in my time," Zibarica added, "and I'm also excellent at hot wiring. If that will be of any use."

Panich rolled her eyes at the over confident Namekian.

"You expect your little quick fixes will aid in repairing a dinosaur like this?" 


Zibarica gave a sly smile to the princess.

"Well when you're constantly on the run you learn a thing or two about ships."
 
"Daddy?" Jaz tilted her head, confused. "Why would not like you? You wouldn't hurt a fly."

Jaz scratched the back of her head, looking behind Junior to see if her father was being nosy and listening to their conversation. She let out a sigh and felt a little ashamed at what her father said to Junior but she still had her doubts. She swung her feet playfully from where she sat and didn't seem to look at Junior. Her cheeks remained a reddish color since she was still happy over the fact that he carried her. Regardless, she shook her mind from the thought but her eyes remained glue to the floor.

"Well.. just don't worry about him so much, Junior." Jaz said a bit uneasy. "I don't think it's anything personal. Do you want me to talk to him about it?"

============

"I can fix it!" Kire yelled from a room he picked. "But I'm busy!"

There was a slam thanks to Kire slamming the door shut and taking advantage of the scraps of metal and other useless junk inside the room. He rubbed his hands together like a boss leader and quickly got to work. The metal scraps were like diamonds in Kire's eyes. From outside the room, there was loud clanging noises and drilling noises. It was obvious that Kire works very fast as long as he's not disturbed. Kire stood before a large flat scrap of metal and tapped a button in his ear, a large visor came down and covered his eyes. His finger flipped open to turn into a small welding torch and began to weld the scraps together. His enthusiasm was off the charts.

"These suits are gonna be badass." He said to himself.

(I'll make the lab fast so I can focus on making the suits. I hope it's okay if I can have the lab finished in a couple posts unless you're gonna make the days pass by faster. I'll edit it if you need me to!)
 
"Well thank goodness..." Oriko sighed in relief, swiping a bead of sweat off his forehead. "I almost thought my universe was screwed over. Well, I guess it still is, considering Lucifer is still out there... Anyway, I can't help in the repairs, but is there anything else I can do?"
 
Vegetto Jr. kept his eyes narrowed through Jaz's reassurance, glancing over his shoulder with a frown.

"You can try. Maybe he'll listen, but he's planning on taking you away. From me."

=============

Beerus broke out into a small smirk.

"Very well then, it's decided. Our specialists will work on repairing this ship."

Koth spoke up next, yet kept his attention down towards the ship's main terminal. A few dim blue lights brightened his face.

"Repairing the ship will be a lot simpler than you also think. The ship was scuttled, and according to the diagnostics of each sector, the only problem we may need to work on directly are the weapon systems themselves. To bring everything else online, we'll just need to find the missing parts that were taken from the ship."

He pressed into the console for a few moments, the final command suddenly ejecting a mini square piece of metal.

"The captain of this ship apparently planned to recover the Gravestone, whenever the Fleet returned. They left a mini holomap on this drive here."

Koth soon moved up to the group.

"I need to stay here and start repairs on the weapons systems if anyone wants to help. There's a handful of important pieces scattered throughout this swamp that we'll need to split up to find. About seven teams of at least two, if we can manage it."
 
Brachi nodded.

"I can help with the weapons if you want," she said, "perhaps it will give us an understanding of the technology and perhaps find ways to recalibrate its weapons to make them more effective against the enemy?"
 
"Take me away from you?" Jaz stared at him, almost as if doubting him. "Well... I'll have a talk with him. I think you might be overthinking a couple things, Junior. Daddy would never do that to someone he doesn't know."

Jaz plopped to her feet and stretched her aching bones and muscles. She kept a frown on her face, still remembering the horror of Vegetto's actions to her. It made her spine shudder in the cold grip of death. She felt it's something that she should tell Junior but she didn't know how he would react. The last thing she wanted was to not cause drama between her friends. As much as she kept it to herself, the look on her face was nothing but uncomfortable. Thanks to Junior looking almost identical to Vegetto, it gave her almost a reason not to look directly at him almost out of fear for the most part. She gently placed a hand over her throat and let out a small sigh.

"Junior... I gotta tell you something." She bit her lip and took a step towards him. She may be scared of his father but she can't seem to stay away from the boy. "It involves your father."

=============

While Kire continued his inventions, he removed his vest and shirt to exposed his purely robotic body. He pulled out what looked to be a self-made laptop. He plopped it on the floor and booted it up. The keyboard was different since it didn't have letters but symbols in which only he knew what they stood for. He paused in his crafty inventions for the meanwhile and began to type away at his computer. His hand reached out to scuffle under his bandanna and be pulled out what looked to be a wind-up cord which he attached to his laptop. The visor that was over his eye, blocking the sparks from his welding, began to show several windows which were also popping around the laptop.

"Right, time to kick things up a notch." Kire said to himself. "Ain't gonna lose my family, not this time."

To keep himself entertained, he played some music he had saved in his laptop. His music was unpredictable, just like him. It was a mess of happy, sad, inspirational, and childish songs. He sung to the songs that he knew, and, to no surprise, he wasn't good at singing. As the music played, he seem to already be building a large screen and some machines to help aid him in making the suits as well as analyze data.
 
Mioi stepped over towards Kira, looking towards the group to see if anyone else would accompany them. 

"With teamwork, I am confident we could recover those parts in minimal time." She stated, rubbing at her eye for a bit before opening it back up again. "Though an environment like this is not something I have navigated before, so I will proceed with extra caution."
 
Koth shook his head once at Brachi.

"Nah, that's a bit of a waste. It's just something for me to do in the mean time while you guys are fetching those parts. The kind of work you're talking about isn't something we have time for. You should join the others."

Gogeta Jr. stepped forward, heading towards the main hallway.

"C'mon, we need to stay together. We'll start with the hyperdrive first, the others we can live without."
