Hello, "shipmates". I am Lord Zedd, another one of your... esteemed crew.

I have a favor to ask: I have found one of my creations in the hangar - Serpentera, a massive WarZord of incredible power. But, as it stands, it needs a few... adjustments. Especially to its power supply. I need someone capable of fixing it so it doesn't go out when it's absolutely needed.

Oh, and I'm sure Billy's told you all about me by now. Just a quick warning - don't try to sabotage me and my works. You know you need me so you can win this war, how counterproductive would that be if you went and did that, hm?

'WarZord'??

Yes. A Zord is a special type of 'mecha' where I come from. A WarZord is one designed solely for destruction.

I don't think we need any more of that.

Also let me guess. It is shaped like a snake?

The fact that you felt the need to place quotation marks around shipmates tells me all I need know about you.

Petty little man.

The fact that you had to say this tells me all I need to know about you.

Pointing out your scaremongering and attempts to inspire dread or somehow insinuate that we are all little more than a means to an end tells you something about me?

In that case, I welcome it.

_{[Pot, kettle, etc.]}

So, if you want someone to work on your toy, I might be able to help you. This is a war, and I fucking want to have all the big guns possible on our side in working order... but your 'sworn enemy' also happens to be both in the department I'm working with, and a friend of friends.

So tell you what, if you're willing to make a deal - you lay off them and stay away if you can't play nice, I'll fix your tinker toys.

Come find me if you want to talk deal. I ain't hard to find.

...alright, fine. Just make sure your friends do the same.

As much as I doubt that we really need you more than anyone else here, 'WarZord' sounds pretty impressive. Just make sure you don't do anything really stupid, and we can all get along.

I'm Cagalli Yula Atha.

Hmph. The same could be said for the rest of you. Frankly, I could do without, but the situation at hand says otherwise.

A pleasure.

Thinking like that won't get you very far here.

Sorry, but I need people to get my Eva up and running. Takes priority over your stupid Zord.

My Zord could crush your Eva! Whatever that is!

Yeah, right! What's your Zord? Another one of those stupid mobile suits? My Eva is way better than any of those pieces of junk!

Ha! Whatever these "Mobile Suits" are, they're nothing compared to the might of Serpentera!

Serpentera? Really?

Really.

Who came up with that? You?

Of course! Let me guess, you couldn't give your "Eva" a name, could you?

Well, I didn't build it, did I?

Come chat some time. I'll see what I can do.

I already have someone working on a mobile reactor. Think you could build one faster?

If they're already started and been looking for materials, probably not. But if they want some help, I'm around and up for helping on vehicles. The reactor all it still needs?

Well a fission or fusion reactor capable of pumping out enough power to keep the thing moving. Otherwise I need to hook into a tether and umbilical cord system and if we have to go planetside, that's just not going to work!

And I'm going to need a lot more people to repair any battle damage.

_{[And God help them all if it ever goes berserk.]}

Sounds like you got someone working on it for now. I'll see what the status is in engineering so we don't end up stepping on each other when there's so much shit needing to get done.

Man, I'm going to have to learn a lot of new words here.

What's an Eva?

Only the most powerful war machine known to man.

More war machines already? How many of those do we have in here?

I dunno. A lot?

What do they look like?

Minion of the Overlord, transcribing:

Look, little man, you're a tiny fish who wandered into a big damn ocean. You're just a speck on this stage, so let's throttle that ego back and leave the awesome to the Overlord.

[and he's on the other side laughing]

You? What makes you think you're so amazing, outside of having a title like "Overlord"? Have you been conquering worlds for well over 10,000 years? Have you made your enemies cower in fear long before they've seen your face?

MOTOT:

Uh, yeah.

Well, then. There's only one solution to this: there's room here for one of us, so leave!

MOTOT:

Couple things there, Teddy.

First, I was here first.

Second, I've got seniority, Mr. Only Ten Thousand Years.

Third, I'm better than you.

Fourth, you smell.

Fifth, I respect Prinnies more than you.

Sixth, I'm bored now, so go back to the top and start reading again. If you're having trouble with the big words, try sounding them out and comparing them to words you already know. If that fails, ask an adult for help.

Alright, then, Mr. Seniority. What have you done on this miserable flying piece of meat that makes you so special?!

MOTOT:

I showed up.

I'm the most badass freaking Overlord in the cosmos. That's all I NEED to do! Hyaaaaa ha ha ha ha ha ha!

No man, he's a freaking book! There's nothing "badass" about not being able to get yourself up when you fall flat on your back.

Remember? Like that one time you fell over?

MOTOT:

What the hell are you talking about? I never fell --

[Minion-transcriber's note: Zetta has actually been very quiet and very still for about five minutes straight now -- oh, my apologies, he is now attempting to speak a language that appears to be entirely consonants. I am not certain how to transcribe this.]

I saw it nice and clear! It was hilarious!

Oh what's that? Can't speak because I'm here? Well it's good to meet ya too. HAHAHAH!!!

I'm in charge of Zord repair around here.

This presents us with somewhat of a problem, doesn't it?

You?!

...

............

I know more about them than anyone else currently awake on this crew, don't I? I'm even familiar with the type of power you use for Serpentera.

...admittedly, in the past that was to keep it out of your hands.

...

[And on the other side, Zedd's finding a wall to headwall. Just his day, isn't it?]

Unfortunately, you make a fair point. Serpentera's power, when all of it is available, is a formidable force. Zordon had us act so urgently precisely because you could annihilate us and our planet with it.

That power, if properly channeled, could turn the tide of a battle with the Ohm. Serpentera at full power could handle even their largest swarm against a planet.

So, unbelievably, I propose this: I create a power source as similar to the infinite Lightning Diamond as possible. But there's one caveat: I also know how to drain Serpentera's power in the event that you turn against us.

If you want any assistance with that, I'd be happy to offer mine.

Glad I'm not in your shoes, dude. Because if you're anything like I've heard of, your plans won't work here. Not if you actually want to survive, you'll have to work with us good guys.

Believe me, I know that all too well by now. And I'm not pleased.

Need? I don't know about that.

Is it the real ugly-looking thing that just popped in?
