Wandering through the remains of what used to be a zoo before it relocated, Eliott is on the search for that machine! She's wheeling around a tiny suitcase filled with tools she may need, frowning as she's not entirely sure what building it would have been left in.

If it was left there at all.

"Why a zoo?!" she grumbles. What a stupid place to keep a machine like that.

"Perhaps it is a zoo for smart animals?"

Mark offers, looking around the area.

The place looks pretty run down, as it's been abandoned for quite some time.

"That's...a very good hypothesis..."

No it's not.

But...if he thinks anything like Kuni...

"Where would you put the machine if you were them?"

Mark is pleased that he's offered something useful!

He looks around, frowning thoughtfully.

"...Somewhere out of sight, so others don't get in the way. Somewhere that people don't often go..."

"Where could THAT be?" she frowns, looking around.

"Bathrooms get used often, so would gift shops and food stands. What other buildings do zoos have?"

She's never really...been to one.

"I believe a staff area would work."

Mark shrugs.

There's several staff buildings nearby, for both housing animals and for them to do more office work.

"Mm." she grabs her chin in thought then nods.

"Alright. Then I assume the area with the most space would be....in one of those animal ones." she says, heading for the nearest one!

Mark nods, following along.

It looks like a stable, one that had been set for particularly large animals. The front area is pretty run down and dusty, while it opens up into the stables proper near the back.

As long as she doesn't see anything that looks like a mostly destroyed machine, she carries onto the stable's proper.

"Strange how they just left this place like this." she says, making conversation.

"Did they have a bad reputation after the incident?"

He doesn't know the answer.

As they head further in, Eliott catches sight of a mangled, dusty machine stashed in the corner.

"That's possible. Who knows what happened here when Paradigm fought Kuni and Vlad."

All kinds of nonsense. That's what.

Her eyes light up when she sees a machine.

"THERE!" she points, before running over to check it out!

Mark follows, interested even though he knows he won't understand any of it.

Eliott sees that it's pretty degraded. Even though it's indoors, it's started to rust and degrade slightly, and there's several roughly fist-sized holes in it.

She expected as much, anyway.

She opens up her case, pulling out tools and 'peeling' back the rusted shell so she can have a better look at the insides!

"This has to be it. I don't recognize what sort of machine this could be otherwise!" she says excitedly!

"It is.... a large machine."

Mark says adeptly, noting how it seems to fill the entire corner of the room.

Parts of it, Eliott can immediately recognize as shielding tech designed to create protective forcefields.

Bah. Useful but unnecessary. Her goal was to make this thing more compact. It must be at least a decade old, so she's hopeful that that's possible. But that also means not bothering with any of the other features.

"As soon as I figure out the technology at play here, I may be able to make a smaller one." she explains out loud.

"There's no way we're carrying this hunk of junk."

"I can carry it. I managed to lift Luna while she used her power."

Mark has high expectations of himself.

Ignoring the shielding technology, there is also some material that looks as if its meant to genetically modify those it is used on.

That girl has put a dangerous belief in his head.

"We don't have space for it, it's alright."

Hmm, it's nothing like she's sees before, but she's slowly making sense of what was done in here.

"Hrm. I think I might have to repair this one first before I can alter it to a smaller device..." she frowns.

That's what happens when she's faced with a formula she's never used. She gonna have to try multiple things to repair it so she knows she's doing it correctly, first.

"And I'll need someone to test it on..." she slowly glances at him.

Usually she'd just accept this answer but since Mark is a bit more special than other people, she chooses to explain more.

"You're sure you're fine with it? It could do strange things to you. Nothing unrecoverable, seeing as I think it operates by sending signals if destroying the machine reversed the effects..."

He nods again.

"It's acceptable to me. I trust your ability."

He gives her what he thinks is an encouraging smile!

She's getting used to his attempted expressions.

"Good. Thank you." she smiles back before getting back to work.

"If you'r bored you could go find me scrap metal? Anything that doesn't look too rusted. I'll need to replace a few parts."
