Grave Robbing (D2, EE, Armor Graveyard)

[Thomas Moreno]

The armor was the easy stuff, or so he'd been told. So it was there that the soldier tried his hand.

He was mildly successful.

Salvage the armor day 2 tn 10, let's try this again: 2d10 12

Karlotta picked up things that would be used as backups. Always good to have a replacement when you rely on something that faulters.

"I wouldn't bet on it, but we could give it a try see if it turns on."

"Trapped like it was it likely needs a good cleaning though."

[Karlotta Roth]

"Ever drove one, doctor, you-whose-name-I-forgot-to-ask? I'm Karlotta, by the way."

[Dr. Reinhardt]

"I know the basics, but I wouldn't want to drive it in combat, we could also bring it back on the excavator."

[Comstar]

The vehicle had been excavated, and was a long and skinny wheeled vehicle which was almost certainly living on borrowed time, as far as the ancient tires were concerned, but it was otherwise remarkably intact.

A quick search over and clean of the intakes, and it was possible to see if it would start.

[Dr. Reinhardt]

The Doctor will slip into the drivers seat and see if he can get it to turn over.

[Karlotta Roth]

And she slips in the Echo team vehicle again. Good doc.

With a rumble, the ancient fusion engine pulses, the compression pistons dropping and then the hum of the magnetic containment field flickered to life... moments later the metal surface began radiating a gentle heat. Coolant pumps ground to life with painful crunching as they ground up the dirt and spat it out. Computers beeped weakly as power ran their circuits for the first time in 300 odd years.

System diagnostics ran across the screen in Swedish, but it was... it was working.

After a minute, the viewscreens cleared and showed... dirt.

The small wipers jerked back and forth erratically, and then he had a view out - albeit a fuzzy and filthy one.
