"Oh, I see. I'm sure there'd be some around here. I come here frequently and there's always something new in there." Alan said with confidence. "There's usually a section for mostly completed Mobile Suits as well, though those are pricey compared to the spare parts or stripped bodies."

"Alright, let's go." Alan said, leading them through. As they entered, Alan pointed to a large building beside the main one. "That's where they keep the intact Mobile Suits." Alan explained.
Alan then pointed to the main building which was way smaller.
"That's the living area of the owner, as well as a small trinket shopping building. The first floor is used for that. The second floor is where he lives." Alan continued.
Alan then pointed to the left.
"Over there is the junk. A few months of looking through here has taught me that. Nothing works, even if the owner says it does."
Alan pointed to the right.
"That's where the good stuff is. But it's mixed in with meaningless stuff. You have to be dedicated to find something in there."
Alan finally pointed to the far end of the refuse area.
"That's where you find the great stuff. Usually, it's blocked off with the excuse that it's the refuse area's power generators. But I'm friends with the owner, so he's let me go in back and get the good stuff. If you aren't looking for a full Mobile Suit, the stuff in back is what you want." Alan finished with a grin.

“Fair enough, tempted to go straight for the great stuff...” Leah bit her lip, rolling forward as she looked over the junk yard best she could. “Some Zak heads over there, looks like some chunks of armor... Alan, is that a girl sunbathing on the head of a suit?”

Alan paused, raising an eyebrow. "Sunbathing?" Alan asked. "What do you mean?"
Alan glanced towards where Leah was referencing.

Atop one of the scraped suit parts, most notably the massive dome of a Mock, was a redhead teen lounging on top of it, apparently not actually sunbathing, but reading some ancient looking spiral manual. They looked over as they saw the group approaching, waving at Alan in particular.

Oh, hey it’s... Dylan, right? Got a mostly intact Nu... Folding Funnel, whatever the term is...” She slid down the dome of the Mock and pointed to the back near the generators. “Boss man had me put it aside for ya.

"Fin-Funnels? Where'd he find those?" Alan asked, disregarding the fact she doesn't remember his name. "I thought the Nu Gundam wasn't mass produced with Fin-Funnels."

Ah, it wasn’t, but it was a possibility at one point. Sometimes you’ll find them strapped to a suit as a kind of mounted weapon. Was a pain in the ass to disconnect, but you have yours truly to thank!“ She does a small bow as she leads the group further into the yard, past the generators. “Anything you or your friends are looking for?

Maybe some weapons? Alaya Vijanna stuff?”

Alan took out a radio.
"Chief. We got some Fin-Funnels at the junk yard." Alan said into the radio.
"Roger that. I'll get the truck and load them up."
"Understood." Alan finished.
He put the radio away to listen to the conversation.

Big ass truck.“ The redhead chuckled, pointing to a pile of what might have been fin funnels under large tarps. “As for AV... I think I have a deal for you...“ She began to run, leading the group towards the actual generators, pulling everyone onto an elevator.
...Are we being kidnapped?”

"No, you aren't." Alan said, trying to reassure them.
"Scratch that, Chief. Need the cargo hauler. There's a lot." Alan said into the radio.
"How the hell did they find them all?!"
"Your guess is as good as mine. Just get going."
"Roger."
Alan puts his radio away again.

So, this is a bit of a personal project for f mine, a lot of hard work... But I can’t really use it, because the only system I have is an AV. So... Maybe I’m interested in if you guys can figure it out.“ As the elevator hits the ground floor, a massive skeletal figure can be scene kneeling on the floor, bare grey bones...
A Gundam Frame.“ Leah just stares in amazement, rolling forward as she starts to fumble with the straps keeping her secure. The redhead runs up to assist as Morgaine just stares. “Fun...?”

"No wonder I haven't seen you around in a while. You've been cooped up here." Alan said, looking at the Gundam Frame in amazement. "Looks good." Alan added as he looked at the frame.

Thanks Dylan! Been putting a lot of- Oh you’re a dense one.“ The redhead was now, with basically no warning, carrying the legless Leah over to the cockpit. “Oh hush, this is a cool moment, you’re going to spoil it.

Morgaine was just watching, sidestepping as she just... Watched whatever she was watching.

Dylan, a hand..?

"It's Alan. And, sure." Alan finally addressed the issue of her calling him the wrong name. He jogged over to assist the redhead.

Oh I know, I prefer Dylan.“ With Alan’s assistance, they were able to properly get Leah into the cockpit, the redhead now bouncing with excitement. “Alright, now, here comes the hooking up...“ Carefully, she connected Leah’s body to the system, grabbing Alan by the collar as they watched the system boot up as Leah tensed up.

The main screen flashed gold as for the first time in decades as the machine woke up, a name appearing:

ASW-G-37 Phenex

“Gundam Phenex. Huh.”

Alan was surprised at the action, but didn't resist as he was curious how the system boot up would fair. Once it booted up, he looked at Leah. Concern was aparent in his eyes. "Leah, you feeling alright?" Alan asks with concern.

Great, feeling better than great... I feel complete... How much?” She looked back over at the redhead, to Alan and out of the cockpit to Morgaine. “Any price.

How does... Room and board, and I get to stay with you guys? Cause clearly you aren’t staying here.

Alan smiled hearing Leah's response. "That's good." He said.
"That's to high of a price if you ask me." Alan joked after hearing the redhead's proposition.

Oh? Well maybe I can charge you full for the materials on those funnels, mhm? Now shush.“ She stuck her tongue out at Alan, while Leah spoke back up.

Absolutely, that seems more than fair! Morgaine!“ She shouted out of the cockpit to the Gundam Fighter, who was checking her phone. “We are taking this Mobile Suit and this girl back home with us!

Huh. Glad to hear I’m part of the conversation.”
