Fox stumbles back into the bar and over to his place at the counter with a tired look. He pulls out his phone and dials Vagabond's number. "Hello Vagabond. Sorry about getting here late, but a lot's been happening. I think I'll go with your design, but I need to offer up a few small changes..."
There is a bit of back and forth discussion. "Okay, so it's settled... Now I just need to get the thing built. Don't worry about parts, I've got some special stuff lined up from Beckwood in the back. This is gonna be a real barn burner. Then I think I'll go Wobbly hunting to get Hunter's new Buccaneer. And maybe one for my forces if there are two on planet. Hate the Wobblies...but gotta love their 'Mech designs. Anyway, talk to ya later Vagabond, thanks for the help." Fox hangs up and looks over at Chihawk. "AMP please Chihawk. It's gonna be a long week."
Fox stands up and Chihawk tosses him one of the energy drinks as Fox heads back out to the 'Mechbay. "Oh, and if anyone wants to help, that'd make it go a lot faster."

Fox smiles over his shoulder. "Well, the legs, center torso, and head are all together already. So we need to start with the side torsos. The targetting computer the Marshall is having sent to me hasn't arrived yet, so we'll start with the left side torso. The bones are there, but we need to settle in the equipment, wire it up good, then attach the arm, which must be fabricated..."
Fox walks over to a very large wooden box that was offloaded just today. "And this is what we'll be fabricating the arm around. A brand new toy I get to test from Beckwood...the Beckwood M9 Autocannon. It's a class 5, and I figure by combigning this with specialty ammunition and the new targetting computer, I should be covered for anything my size or smaller. Three ER Medium Lasers will also give me some punch."
"Two of the lasers, two jumpjets, a double heatsink and the two tons of autocannon ammo go here. You can see where I have already installed the brackets for the CASE system. We'll work up, first welding the CASE together, then putting in the heatink, lasers and finally jump jets." Fox climbs up the scaffolding to his welding torch. "Grab an exoskeleton, the panels are down by the left foot. You hold them in place and I'll weld them. Hopefully without welding your exoskeleton to the 'Mech..."

Hey, Joe. Word on tarmac is the Marshall's package has arrived... in about 3 minutes. 
30 minutes after that it will be here...
Where would you like it?
I also heard that there is a couple of tons of hardened Ferro coming in...

"Anywhere out of everyone's way until we get to the other side." He looks down. "NAIS finally got that computer here I guess."

Fox blinks. "Not a clue sir. But then, I never was quick on the uptake..."

*Kiris walks towards Oafman, and bows
sumimasen Sho-sa Oafman san, I have been advised that ISF agents are looking into our close relationship with our Federated Suns barmates.
For some time now they feel that our fraternization at the bar has made them quite uncomfortable.
I am afraid for your safety, Sho-sa, if they see you helping out our Fed friends with their equipment maintenance.
*Kiris raises the box of girlscout cookies and offers them to Oafman and Joe.
(munch, munch, munch, munch) wmnt sme? chclate chps s ar gd...

*Oafman winks and Kiris and whispers*
Who said I was just helping them? Nothing like a little hands on information on some of this new technology to pass on home.

*Kiris whispers back:
I know...just putting on the show. Was instructed to give you this.
*from underneath the cookies Kiris takes out a small flat 1" x 1" card, about 1/8" thick.
Just place it inside the mech. It picks telemetry information from the mech's recorders, encrypts it as an innocent looking message and sends it automatically to the nearest Commstar facility. The message looks to be coming from and sent to legitimate addresses. Of course these were set up by the ISF. Remember, if caught, the Coordinator will disavow any connection with you. Good Luck.
*Kiris speaking louder: Sho-sa Oafman-san...
so will you place an order for a box of cookies?

*Oafman palms the square and slips it into his pocket while climbing back up the mech.*

Fox sighs, and starts welding. Friends indeed. Let them come...they've been coming for me for a long time. Fox says nothing about the square in Oafman's hand. Trying to sneak it past a Rabid Fox? A recon expert at that? It's my job to see things, and hear things.

Fox finishes the welding and jumps down. "You guys can keep working if you want..." he says to Oafman and Kiris while walking to Sir Henry. "Tea?" he says. "Why would the Marshall send me tea... Let's go have a look at it..." ...privately. he adds mentally.
