[The video opens with very excited Quatre, quite clearly trying to keep from bouncing excitedly]

Fellow passengers of the train, good morning! I made a request for an item and I wasn't actually sure if I'd get it or what it would be if I did, but...

[And he shows off what arrived for him... which just basically looks like a large box]

It is mobile suit cockpit simulator! So it's like piloting a mobile suit without actually piloting one!

[He very briefly showed off the inside of it, which looked like a cockpit]

Once I get it to the games carriage, I'm going to take a look at the options already programmed and add as many as I remember. It'll be available for anyone to try out. Also if you have one that would be piloted like that, I can try to add yours.

Action
Quatre can either be found in the luggage carriage, trying to figure out to move this very large object... or he can be found in the games carriage once it has been moved, checking what has already been programmed into the system.

A mobile suit-- wait, those are big exos, right? Augmentative mobile exoskeletons?

I think so. Are exos like giant suits of armor that you sit in and pilot them? That's general idea of what mobile suits are.

I wouldn't say giant, at least not where I come from, but otherwise, yes!

Ah, then yes, I would say they are big exos. We had smaller suits, mainly used for construction where the bigger ones wouldn't do so those would probably be similar to exos.

I...

[He pauses there, hesitating very obviously. He has to make himself continue.]

I have my exo's processor core with me. On the train. I-- Could I-- Would you--

[Another pause while he composes himself, again obviously.] It would mean a lot to me if we could try hooking the core up to your simulator directly.

[Quatre tilted his head slightly, curious what he was asking. When he did, he was definitely excited about that]

Really? Sure, let's give that a try! See if the simulator is able to read the information. I would think that it would be able to. If not, I can try and get the two to talk to each other.

[A huge, beaming smile breaks across his face.] Brilliant! Can I swing by the Games carriage shortly with it?

Sounds good. I will be here setting it up and looking at all the features it has.

[He never actually got to use one of these back home but he knew they existed]

Great! See you soon!

[It does take Dev some time to track down Koumyou and get Babysitter's processor core out of his ARMs band, but he eventually shows up in the Games carriage. He approaches Quatre and the cockpit simulator with a tentative smile and a big metal... canister? in his arms.]

Hello. I'm, er, Devero, I don't think we've formally met.

[Quatre was already at the Games Carriage with the new simulator. He was currently looking at the simulator's computer, trying to see what was already loaded and what it would take to add things, so that was completely appropriate for when Devero arrived with the canister.

He looked up and smiled]

No, I don't think we have. I'm Quatre Raberba Winner. It's nice to meet you.

[He glanced at the large canister] Is that the core for your exo?

You too.

[He nods and hefts the canister.] Sure is. All the firmware and software that makes that machine mine.

Impressive. Well, let's give it a try and see if we can get it hooked up.

[He gestured for Devero to join him where he was sitting before looking at more the bits and pieces of the machine again. He wasn't ignoring him, just looking to see what was there that he might be able to use]

There's some wires here that might work for it... we can try and connect it to the computer and see if the computer will pick up on it.

[Devero joins him, unable to help feeling sort of immense and unwieldy as he sits beside Quatre. He leans in to examine the indicated wiring as well, and nods.]

I think you're right.

[He flips the canister upside and exposes the connection ports on the bottom.] Hmn, should have brought my tool kit from the lab. Let's see....

[He gets to work anyway, his big fingers deft despite their size and the lack of tools.]

Worst comes to worse, we go get them from the lab and see if we can get it to work. I do have some small ones if needed.

[It didn't seem like he did, seeming quite capable of it without the tools. Quatre sat there for the moment with the computer, looking to see if it would recognize the device automatically. It wasn't as smart as normal computers, only really being for a specific purpose. He'd probably have to search for the new device once it was connected]
