Samantha pulled off her goggles and wipes the sweat off her face leaving a smear of oil across her nose and cheek. She picked up the device she was working on and turned it on. Her eyes zoning in on the moving gears inside.
"okay good, okay fine"
A spring popped and the device died. "damn so close," She scratched the back off her head and ran a thumb up and down the edge of her curled ear, a habit she had picked up as a kitten when she was deep in mechanical thought.
Sam put the device down and leaped half into the human size tool box, her nub of a tail was raised up as she dug through the bit and pieces she had collected over the years and pulled out a screw driver and went to work taking apart the rest of the push mower she got from the junk yard.

Brooklyn was making her way around the area. She had heard about some women who had started making a ships crew. She smiled as she spun her small curved dagger in one hand, the other resting on the dagger on her opposite hip. She sniffed the air and caught the scent of oil in the air. Something she didn't often smell. Tossing the dagger in the air with a flip she caught it again by the handle and kept spinning it as she walked.
Looking over the grass she saw a female playing with a mower. It was interesting cause she never saw that much. She smiled as she meandered over towards her. "Hey you lookin to get your fingers cut off?" She said as she looked over the other. "Why are you taking it apart?" she asked as she flipped the dagger again and then put it away.

Samantha waved enthusiastically, “Ahoy! Good to see you – you're just in time to help!” She grinned, showing a magnetic sparkling smile underneath the grease and grime.
“I need more hands on Baby, here - “ she pointed to the lawnmower piston that she had attached oars to. “Baby's coming along nicely, don't you think?” She made a raspberry sound as she blew her dark hair out of her face. “She's going to push the Bad Omen from this shore to our base on Grimsea in three minutes,” she breathed hard “if I can get the fricking throttle down some.”
She looked Brooklyn up and down. Her eyes lit up - “Hey! You've got pretty fast fingers, don't you? I need you to hold a wire for a sec!”

Brooklyn watched the woman and crouched down to look at the mower. "The Bad Omen?" she asked as she watched it. She wouldn't call it a baby but she guessed the tech geek infront of her would. Watching her with the mower she peeked in more to see the throttle. "Cant get it out....What do you want me to hold?" she asked as she took off her arm covers so they didn't get snagged or torn. "I'm very quick so just tell me what you need miss...?" she asked with a smile as she flipped a braid over her shoulder and watched the other with a smirk. She wondered how soon she could meet more from this boat that she was talking about and wondered if they all would be as interesting as this one was.

"Aye the Bad Omen, that's my ship...Well it's Captain Lucky's Ship but I'm in charge of all the gadgets." She said with a proud smile crossing her face, "I love gadgets."
Sam crawled up beside her and stuck her hand in the opening. "See this bit right here, I need you to hold it wide open like this, so the air rushes into this opening. Oh but be careful not to get near this fan. I've lost fur that way." she laughed. "At least it wasn't a finger right."
Slipping back down she made her way over to the gas cord.
"Are you ready to try it out?"

Brooklyn smiled at her and nodded. "I see that. I don't know much about them but this looks kinda neat. I wouldn't mind learning a bit more." she said as she looked into the opening that Sam was showing her and nodded as she moved her hands to replace Sams. "Got it. stay away from the fan. I like my fur right where its at." She said with a smile. "Oh and my name is Brooklyn. Its nice to meet you...?" she asked wanting to know the other womans name.

"Brooklyn?, oh I'm Sam,I forgot to tell you my name, I'm Sam. Anyway you better hang on tight Brooklyn" She looked up to make sure Brooklyn was holding on to something and gave the gas cord a tug. nothing happened. "opps I forgot to flip the switch." She moved to flip something and press a button three times. "Okay that should do it, here we go again. hold on" She when back to the cord and wiggled her little tail then gave it a really hard tug.
The lawnmower flew forward about 20 feet before slowly stopping. Sam ran after it. "No no no, it's all wrong. I'm disappointed, not terribly, but still. It should have gone much further much faster. It's okay, though, I know what the problem is. It's obviously the drag coefficient. I'll just have to redesign the blades. I can do that no problem. I can do that here. But after they're designed I got to cut them and that takes tools and time." she spoke rapidly and climbed up by Brooklyn. "Thank you for helping, are you okay?"

Brook smiled. "Its nice to meet you Sam." she said as she watched her work on the thing and try to get it started. She had no idea what was going on and smiled as she did something and it didn't work. She was about to ask what she was trying to do when it worked this time and the thing lurched forward. She screamed and some how managed to hold onto the parts Sam had told her to hold as it flung its self forward, Brooklyn still screaming the whole time.
When it stopped her fur was standing on end and she was clinging to the lawnmower like her life depended on it. She panted and whimpered as she looked at Sam when she came up. "What the hell is this thing! What just happened! It was so loud!" she said as she carefully pried her hands off the contraption and her body shook as she looked at Sam.

"Brilliant!" Sam exclaimed, eyes beaming down, "Brooklyn, that was it! That was the right configuration! Awwww, baby, you're gonna take us far, aren't you?" she said as she patted the puttering volcanic engine.
"This contraption, my good friend - is the turbo, dual-speed engine of a pirate ship - and it's going to make us RICH!" Sam peeked down into the engine and then climbed off the machine. "Brook you mind coming to the Island with me. I could use your assistance again, and I'm sure the rest of the crew would like to meet you."

Brooklyn looked at her and looked at the thing that was puttering and whimpered. "Its going to drive the boat? Well with what i just went through i'm sure it will do a wonderful job." she said as she took a breath and looked at the woman. "You want me to come to the ship? Will the others really like me cause i...I don't want to be a problem." she said though she was looking for someplace to make a home and some others to make a family. "Are you sure that it wont be a problem?" she asked softly.

"You won't be a problem at all, well unless you got something against pirates that like to drink. And well their is only one man on the island and he says he's gay. He might just say that to protect himself from some of the fems, but Cap' Lucky hasn't broken him yet so it's probably the truth." She slid behind the turbo, dual-speed engine toward her little boat. "We won't be taking the engine with us this trip, I gotta go cut some new blades and then attach it to Lucky's ship." She unloaded some of her gear on the shore, then beckoned Brooklyn to join her. "Come on Brook, I'll introduce you around."
((I didn't know you had a steam punk kitty, we totally need to have a steam punk RP together. Isn't it fun to write stream punk! I can't wait to see your steam punk kittens))

Brooklyn watched her and thought about it. "If you think its going to be ok then i dont' mind going to meet them all." She said with a smile as she walked along with her. "I wouldn't mind learning more about what you do so i can help more. Jsut...don't put me on that thing again cause i don't want to go on another ride. It was bad enough when i had humans and they put me in that stupid car." she said with a shiver. "Is it dangerous on the boat or is it rather nice?" she asked wondering why they lived on a boat and what they did to need a boat or what made them pirates.
