"Mine's called a mobile suit, and there are some others like it, but I'm not sure every single one uses that name." She saw some... dog guy? With a smaller thing? What even is up with the animal people? Not that she's gonna treat them poorly it's just wild.

Anyways, there's being good enough at machines to handle a lot of the maintenance, and then there's being An Expert, and Elle's not experienced enough for the latter, even if she's pretty resourceful. "As long as the targeting system can work... then I just need to hope I can power it without weird stuff happening. We did kinda manage to make that Zaku head work once..." A very loose definition of 'working' but still.

"I'm sure there are people who know lots of things I don't around here, so I'll just have to ask around. We mostly don't use mobile suits in really deep space, so if nothing else I might try to whip up a transport to help with range 'n stuff." She looks back at her helpful buddy. "I'm Elle, by the way."
