[So, Labrys, you've agreed to turn to the on-again off-again mad scientist cousin of Wakahisa for help, letting him effectively try and study you to get an idea of how Barians are to be repaired, so that the two of you can theoretically help Failnaught.
The OOPARTS building on the mainland isn't hard to find, and when you arrive, there is a bubbly cheerful receptionist who gives you a guide to elevators that take you to Sub-Level 2: Research and Development.
When you get there, you'll see one wing closed off temporarily, next to an office that reads "RESEARCH DIRECTOR: J. GRAVE", and another wing that branches off, with signs reading "EXPERIMENTAL TEST LAB - CLEARANCE BY DIRECTOR HAITA REQUIRED BEYOND THIS POINT".
Of course, passing that, you reach a state-of-the-art lab that has a juxtaposition of very clean and elegantly-crafted machines, as well as some machines that look like they are deliberately more form than function, built together in a makeshift workshop. The two different types of machines seem to interface with each other without any trouble, as the reddish-brown hair peeks out from behind an oversized terminal.]
Labrys! I didn't hear you come in, or I would've made sure to greet you, sorry! I hope this lab will uh, suffice? I don't exactly know what I'm looking for, so I've brought out a little of everything.

... Computers. I have some understanding of the state of technology here. You understand how repairing a computer would be handled, yes?
Think of the Core as the software portion, while the Weapon is the hardware portion. It's why Failnaught has the "access keys" in order to handle the "software", while he works on the "hardware". *she thinks more, and realizes something*
Oh, it might be important for you to understand this, but...
You cannot physically repair the Core, because it isn't meant to be damaged in the first place. It takes extreme duress and pressure to damage it at all, but once it does, that is basically "it", for us. The Weapon otherwise protects it, which is why it's so reinforced when present.
no subject
I see, so the weapon is what requires maintenance, more than anything. We would still need the access keys from Failnaught, then, in that case, or to replicate them, if I'm understanding you correctly. But maintenance on the weapon itself is something that should be well within my skill set.
The trick would of course be designing the apparatus - for both myself and for future use for you all in the future, though the latter is a long-term concern - and of course, convincing Failnaught this is something that is required. I suspect he's going to be a bit stubborn on this.
no subject
Though it may help in the short-term if you can figure out a way to remove errors and corruptions. That will at least help deter Failnaught's worst thoughts.
no subject
[Dragging out the older skillsets, huh.]
I... dabbled a bit in such 'mental dives', when I was younger. It's not something I've done in a long while, but my cousin Wakahisa and I both did it for my spouse, many, many years ago, so it would not be something unfamiliar to me.
And of course, Wakahisa, outside of all her power and, well, eccentricities is a licensed therapist.
If simply repairing the weapon is enough to help lessen these thoughts, I should be fine to do the work on my own, but if you're talking about a deeper interface, she might be the one to turn to for consultation.
no subject
You are aware of the Ettosyleit. In fact, I am certain I had to pull you out of there before. *Oh, right, yes.*
Exposure to such a chaotic place can bring a corruption over time. It was Scythe's ability-- and those like him, of course-- to remove that corruption so that Failnaught could repair it.
I don't know how much your sensors were able to detect, but you may have noticed the chaotic influence on the fringes of my self. *she isn't exactly ignorant to her own problems, at least.*
no subject
I'm slowly getting a better understanding of the situation, so let's see if I can summarize what you've told me so far.
Failnaught requires maintenance and repair, which require firstly a way to remove the corruption of the Warp on your forms, and then to repair your Weapon. I will likely need an access key from Failnaught themselves in order to do this, outside of the tool I will have to devise, powered off of my own life force for the sake of efficiency.
Does that sound right so far, Labrys?
no subject
But yes, that's right. Hopefully we will be able to achieve... Something, here. Anything.
I just want to help him. He doesn't get the privilege of revitalization otherwise, after all...
no subject
Truth be told I have been working on the ability to extract my own power for a little while now, so this dovetails nicely with some research I had mothballed.
[He starts pulling together disparate elements on this digital whiteboard he's set up, and you can start to see a pair of metal gloves take shape - with two prongs that can seem to jut outward from just under the wrist.]
...I'm probably not the best person to ask Failnaught about this. I can certainly help you argue with them if you'd like me to, but, well...
