To be honest, Senjen did not particularly like being watched like their run through the ship had been a show, but the Human kept his bargain, at least. They had the turrets, they had the parts, they just needed to get them fixed up and installed. Compared to what they had been through to get them, that would be easy...hopefully. Jess could do it, no problem, but he hoped he would be as lucky as he thought he would be when it came to getting a discount. 

Senjen took the control panel and stowed it away. He would have to make sure to get a good handle on how to use them, especially if they required any crew input to function. He probably would not want to make Light have to worry about turrets and piloting at the same time if they ended up in a fight again. Also, it would be a good idea to double-check their security and make sure no one would be able to remotely access them. That would be the last thing they would need in a firefight.

In any case, the pair did not linger around any longer in Rodion’s scrapyard. The Humans, in their dealings, had been entirely truthful, and Senjen could not really point to anything that he could say was a “trick”, but he could not help but to feel like he did not want to stick around.

Back at their landing pad, Senjen and Light were lounging back outside their ship. Senjen was pacing back and forth in front of Light while on a call with Jess, though Light was only catching Senjen’s half of the conversation. “I know, I know, Jess, but just...think about it, right? You’re out there with us, right in the line of fire if we get ambushed again. Don’t you want to have some way to shoot back? Yes, I...I know...just let me...I know you don’t do ‘friend discounts’, but that’s not [i]really[/i] what this is, is it? It’s more of an...investment, yeah? It’s about the business, getting more tech. Would you [i]really[/i] leave those turrets behind when we go out again? I...no I...listen Jess, I wasn’t ‘assuming’, I just figured you would want to install some defenses to make us safer on the job. Yes I...yes I am aware that is the literal definition of ‘assuming’. Just promise you’ll think about it, alright? You promise? I know I am.”

Senjen stood still for a second, then let his shoulders relax before walking back over to Light and sitting back down next to him. “She’ll do it.”
