One.. by... one.
They only fall... a-part.
Can it be.. undone?

Leo looked over towards the newcomer, and sighed.

"Ah..." he stammered, before grabbing the part from Desiree's headset that needed replacing.

"One of these." he said, telling her what it is.

"There any way you can find out if you have?" he asked.

"And if so, there any way I can buy one off of you?" he asked further.

"...even though it'll be Desiree footing the bill of her own accord..." he then mumbled.

Kiah paused a moment, seeming to be thinking over it.

"I .... think so?" She asked, knowing he wouldn't eb abel to answer that.

"Let me go check. Probably take a few." She added before heading off to do that.

Sure enough, about ten minutes later, she returned.

"Got one! We actually have a few." She added with a chuckle as she came in.

"Really?" Leo asked.

"Awesome!" he said.

"Can I talk to your procurement officer, then?" he asked. "Or... someone that works in that department, anyway?" he asked further.

"Need to go through the proper channels and such." he said further.

"I know your boss needs all the red tape dealt with and such."

Kiah paused before laughing lightly.

". . . Leo. I run the deparment." She stated simply as she held the piece out to him, new and in box.

"How can I pay for it?" Desiree asked, her voice curious.

"I happen to know of a medic who has a little girl with a birthday coming up." Kiah answered.

"Talk to them and set up a show - free of charge fo rthem - and we'll be even."

". . . Easy enough." Desiree responded with a nod. "CAn do."

"I'll text you the information. He's not working today."

"Ah. Thank you." Leo replied, taking the part.

"Well, there we go." he said to Desiree.

"I'll have these up and functional again in 30-45 minutes." he told her.

"Thanks for this." he then said to Kiah.

"I know these things are stupidly expensive to get ahold of."

"They can." Kiah agreed.

"But Lunet's taken to trying to make 'em herself." She then said.

"I'm sure if you two worked together, it'd be easy enough. Isn't it the coding you have a hard tim with?" She asked, her voice curious.

"......huh." Leo mumbled.

"That... is true." he said.

"And yeah, it is." he told her.

"I'm a hardware guy, she's a software gal." he went on.

"Heck, it's thanks to Lunet that Desiree's headset works even better than ever before." he chuckled.

"She's a hell of a consultant."

"Thanks, Leo." Desiree said with a soft smile.

"You two should work on more things together." Kiah commented.

"Not... sure what else there is you can work on though." She admitted.

"Oh, while I'm here, I wanted to ask. Have you gotten around to fixing Chloe yet?" She asked, her voice curious.

"I only ask because she'd be useful, not being alive and all, with one of the things we're scheduled to test today. There's a very real possibility of it emitting one hell of a toxic gas."

"Not yet." Leo replied.

"That's going to be slightly more involved, so I'll do it after I finish this current project." he told her.

"Not sure whether or not I should fix Desiree's headphones before Chloe, though." he then admitted.

"I don't want to make you wait longer for Chloe to be up and running, but knocking Desiree's headphones out of the way would be simple and quick..." he went on.

"How tight is the time budget?" he asked Kiah.

'Not very tight at all." was Kiah's answer.

"Thi sisn't something that needs to be done right now, or anything. Just, before the weeks end, ideally." She added.

"Anyway, anything else?" She asked.

"I'll head back to keep working on things I'm doing."

Leo shook his head.

"Nope." he replied.

"Thank you for the part." he said, looking at the box.

"Fresh and new, too." he commented.

"No way this thing'll cause any problems." he chuckled.

"Should last you a good long while, Desiree."

"Happy to help." Kiah said before waving and heading off, leaving the pair alone, completely unaware that she'd grabbed one that she shouldn't have.

Desiree just smiled softly.

"Thank you, so much, Leo." She said with a light chuckle.

"I'm sure you realise I would have been willing to wait until you weren't busy, but I do appreciate the rush order."

"Hey, no worries." he said.

"You're a friend." he told her.

"And this is a surprisingly simple repair job." he reasoned.

Desiree just chuckled lightly.

"I'm all right. Deaf, and annoyed by that, but I'm all right." She answered.

"Things are good though. How about there?" She asked.

"Things going well there?"

"Makes the time fly." he reasoned.

"Plenty." was Desiree's answer.

"But is that really surprising? In all seriousness, though... Jaden and I did a joint show for a sweet sixteenth birthday party." She added.

"Was definitely good." She added with a light laugh.

"Oh?" Leo asked.

"Sounds like a good time." he said.

"Your joint shows are always in high demand." he went on.

"From what I hear, people will pay out the nose for them." he continued.

"...though, knowing you, you'd do it for free. Hell, pay THEM to have your show." he laughed.

"But we know Kalin would have an aneurysm." he then added.

". . . Kalin and Jaden both." Desiree commented with a light sigh.

"Which is definitely a shame." She added before shrugging.

"But I win most fights with having discounted tickets." She added with a smirk.

Leo laughed again.

"Fair enough." he said.

-Later-

Leo sighed as he looked over Chloe, before taking out his phone.

He dialled Lunet's number, and waited for her to answer.

"Hey, it's Leo." he said when she did.

"Can you come to R&D at The Unit?" he asked.

"Need help with Chloe."

"Eh?" Lunet asked before pausing.

"Yeah. I can. Just... gimme like twenty to get there?" She asked.

"I'm actually home for the moment." She added with a light laugh.

"If it's gotta be quicker, come pick me up."
