Lexi Marsden audition

Lexi hummed to herself while she lay on her back and underneath the large device she was working on. Faintly music played in the background from the music player she had plugged into the company computer. Lifting the tool she held in her fingers, the blonde revved it up while she focused on the object she was going to be fixing. "So you found out today you life's not the same~" Grunting under her breath while singing along with the song coming from the computer, Lexi scooted up further underneath the large object and started unscrewing the bolt that held the underside up. "Not quite as perfect as it was yeeeesterday." With the underside off, she squinted her blue eyes upward and checked out the mess of wiring and controls that were there. Well shoot...for not having been around when they had started the creation of this gizmo, Amelia was sure having a lot of faith in her, going off to finish some business and leaving Lexi by herself to fix the malfunction that had been showing up.

"When you were just getting in the groove, now you're hmm hmm hmmmm hmm.", she finished humming as she forgot the lyrics. Reaching up an arm, she brushed her bangs out of her eyes and blinked to focus once before her eyes returned more to the control panel she was supposed to be fixing. "Hmmm..." Reaching up a hand, she checked once more to make sure the machine was powered off before she clasped one of the wires with her fingernails. Pulling it down, her blue eyes inspected the wiring before tracing it to where it sent to. Ahh, so that particular wire and circuit had fried. That would account for what seemed to be going wrong with it.

Resting her electronic tool down on her stomach, Lexi reached a hand down to the floor to get the wire cutters that she knew was there. Huffing out a breath to once more move the bangs from her eyes that continued to fall in place, she positioned the tool at the base of the wire and snipped at the end. A moment later the entire wire came off in her hands. Slipping her hands up, Lexi dropped the goggled headset over her eyes to shield them while she would start to weld. That being done, she obtained the new wire from her right and started fusing it back together with the base using the electric arc she'd placed on her stomach a minute before. Biting her lip in concentration, the song lulling behind her was all but forgotten. With deft fingers she finished the procedure, dropped the tool, slipped up her protective goggles and peered closer at her work.

Satisfied, she waited a moment to allow to cool before she snatched up another tool and went about stripping the wire and preparing to place it back in the control panel. If this machine worked, it would be a miracle. When she had heard about what was going on around Gaia - what with the weird creatures and disappearances - Lexi had been surprised to hear that a machine that was sensitive to the readings those creatures emitted and could show where they were had impressed her greatly. This was a larger version of those they hoped to make that each of those tasked with the mission of finding out where the creatures were coming from would carry. Mostly, that included only the turks, as they were the ones that were out in the field and actually risking their lives. It would be nice to be able to see the creatures coming before they were trying to chomp on their arm...

Go make that appy!
