Welcome to Gaia! ::

Billy didn't like the idea of swiping things from the ranger station he had accidentally found. Especially since it seemed someone lived there. But then he could hardly hope an electronics store would spring up in the reserve. And he needed some extra wiring to put some finishes touches on the communicators. (Thankfully in-helmet communications had been easier to fix.)

He sighed reminding himself it was necessary as he approached the building. Only to find that he wasn't the only one planning to do something. He was grateful to have his helmet on, yet again concealing his identity, as he walked up behind the other otter. His boots crunched slightly in the snow and he doubted his arrival had been stealthy.

"What are you doing?"

The Blue Ranger watched as the otter chased after his helmet, clenching his jaw on a chuckle. It seemed very much like something he would've done, had done, if he wasn't in his powered up form. He waited until the oddly dressed otter turned to him.

"I made the inquiry first," he replied. "I'm searching for electrical components to repair something that was damaged upon my arrival in this place." He wisely decided to leave out the fact he was hoping to swipe said components from the ranger station. No need for someone to spread the information around and end up with the reserve thinking the Power Rangers were thieves!

Introductions were always an opportunity to be hazardous, what with needing to conceal an identity. "I'm the Blue Ranger," it sounded a tad stuffy to his own ears which flicked back. "It's nice to meet you Speed," he added, sounding much friendlier.

"Perhaps I could offer you my assistance?" He was a ranger after all and he was supposed to help people. Besides what harm could Speed be up to?

A race car driver. That made sense with the way the otter was dressed and the helmet. He turned his head to look towards the jeep in question, wondering if the ranger knew about this. He very much doubted it. Else Speed wouldn't be sneaking around and hiding behind trees. But then he was making a hypothesis based on very well.

"Have you gotten permission from the ranger?" he asked, carefully biting back the addition that otherwise it would be stealing. Since he was basically planning to steal. Oh what a hypocrite he was.

That-well it sounded somewhat suspect. Lucky for Speed, Billy's conscience had awoken to point out he was being unkind in theorizing that the otter's intentions were shifty. "Oh." He turned to look at the jeep again, "Can you drive a jeep that large?" the scientist in him asked. He didn't think it was possible, an otter was rather small and a human's vehicle was quite a bit larger.

This was a bad idea. No, the thought transfer apparatus had been a bad idea. This was a terrible idea.

"I think I could manage to do that." He gave a sharp nod. The components to repair the communicators could wait awhile. "I-is the ranger in?" he asked, they'd have to be quiet if she was. He didn't want to get caught. He wasn't sure he could explain this, "I temporarily seem to have lost the facilities of my normally logical and reasonable mind," probably wasn't going to work.

"Does she prefer not to know when you take it out?" he asked slightly concerned. He imagined he wouldn't want to know if someone was taking the jeep out for a joy ride. Or he would if it was his Dinozord. Which reminded him that he really needed to see if the zords would respond, having access to it could be helpful.

"I would be grateful for your help in obtaining the components. I am hoping the ranger will have thrown something out that I can strip for wiring." And if he had to take something, in the case they didn't alert her to their-Speed's-borrowing of the jeep, well it might be nice to have help. He had a feeling Speed might have more courage to take something than he did.
