Desmond wouldn’t know first-hand how handy it was to ‘pop’ to once place or another, but he could agree that it was probably easier. He wasn’t sure if teleporting would help him get work done better, but it would help him get it done faster. There were jobs that required him to have a lot of tools on hand; being able to blink into his ship and then back to a given work area with whatever he needed... yeah, that’d be nice. Laser pigeons? Not so much.
He smiled anyway, mulling it over, as he hit the numeric pad on the side door; the sound of a mechanism unbolting made itself known just before Desmond pulled the handle and opened it up. Once they were both in he slammed it shut with an uncomforting clang of steel on steel. The brunette winced almost immediately; that totally sounded like it wasn’t broken. And then he was taking a seat in one of two chairs stationed in front a large front window and panel of half steel, half brass, half wood, and all dials with digital feeds and glass covered bits.
The inside of Lucy wasn’t anything particularly amazing. A lot of metal plating and not a lot of comfort, but Desmond didn’t use her for that. Mostly deliveries and work. So it didn’t much matter. There were cabinets in the back for storage, both built into the walls above and some that were on the floor that doubled as seats—like foot lockers with old cushions on top. You could tell they had been used for seating at one time because of old and worn belting hanging from the walls near them.
As Desmond mulled over the lack of comfort Lucy offered he heard Dudley ask about beer. “Usually, yeah. Depends on the type.” He hit a few buttons in quick succession and listened absently as Lucy’s engine started up and she prepped for departure. Then he looked over at Dudley. “I bought some... if that’s what you’re worried about...?” he decided to half ask. “Or did you want something else...?” His brow knit as he paused to consider that, leaning over the panel and half sitting. He didn’t peg Dudley for a wine drinker, but everyone was a little unpredictable these days. Desmond’s mother, for one, all class and shine and diamonds and pretty blond petite, enjoyed a fat cigar now and then.
Go figure.
He shook his head, not wanting to worry about his mother at that moment; even if he had been talking to her all but less than an hour ago. As Dudley’s asked his next question Desmond was inputting commands on the keys in the panel; at the same time, Lucy was lifting and unclamping from the metal platform. “Uh... yeah. Why?” Green-yellow hues followed his own fingers and glanced at a screen.
