*Planner makes a shrugging gesture.*

"It may have been. Or it might be something else entirely. I certainly won't be talking about the inner workings of my suit."

*It doesn't seem like anything's off about her soup. Aside from the whole didn't spill in her pocket thing, maybe. Meanwhile, she glances around, noticing the presence of the drone but not commenting on it just yet.*

The drone flies closer to inspect the two. It should be in view, as Evan gets ready his walkie talkie...

(Hm. That is odd. The soup didn't spill, like Nolles said...)

"As long... as you won't kill me or anything, I'll be fine, I guess."

Nolles soon takes a spoon, starting to carefully drink the soup. Planner might note the man's left arm...

*She keeps watching him. Doesn't seem to have too much else to do. eventually, her looking around causes her to notice the left arm abnormality.*

"I have no reason to kill you right now."

*Quick sequential twitch from her hand. Her eye-mounted scanner flips down, then she starts to scan the left arm to see what might be unusual about it. She hopes he doesn't have enough perception to pick up on the scanner being in her eyeball.*

The drones flies closer for the two to see. It does so, slowly, so as not to startle Nolles like what Planner did earlier.

Evan's got his walkie talkie at the ready, but doesn't want to say anything lest the sudden voice startle Nolles.

The scan would probably just give Planner a severe headache if she keeps trying to scan the left arm.

Nolles, meanwhile, twitches a little, and he looks around.

"W-what's that?"

He then sees Evan's drone, just blinking, and he slowly relaxes.

"Oh... hey, Evan."

*She frowns a little. While her sense of pain is blunted to a pretty absurd degree, she can still feel that something is off about that there left arm... Briefly, she ends up distracted by the drone.*

"Hm. You know this person?"

*That seems to have been addressed to both Nolles and Evan together. Planner soon returns to trying to scan the left arm, although the headache symptoms do leave her cautious, meaning she'll cut that out if there's a sign it might physically damage her.*

Hearing Nolles call out without spilling the soup, Evan immediately greets via his walkie talkie.

"Heeeeeya again, Nolles!"

The drone also turns to Planner.

"Yeah, Nolles and I have met in person before!"

It pauses, as Evan grins on the other side of the walkie talkie.

"Hello there too! Like Nolles here said, I'm Evan, and I'm the aviator who made this drone... outta thin air! I can also make other fantastic flying machines outta thin air too!"

It then turns back to face both.

"Can't really show myself right now, gotta take care of a kid who's lost around here. But you'll know me, I'm the guy with the dashing looks and smile!"

The voice is of course excited, enthusiastic, and with that air of pride.

Nolles just nods a little at Planner.

"Y-yeah..."

If she continues to scan, the headache might eventually give way to a feeling of her about to pass out. However, if she persists, the lightheadedness will give way to a new revelation: Nolles seems to be inhabited by some kind of "energy".

Meanwhile, Nolles just looks at Evan's drone, now finishing his soup.

"H-hey..."

*Planner does get the feeling of feeling like she might pass out... That would be a problem. A lack of conscious thought could leave her vulnerable in the case that some hostile may appear. She almost backs out, but lasts long enough to start to notice something. It is that one string of interest that keeps her scanning, right up until she discovers that revelation about Nolles. Her eyes widen a little.*

"...Huh."

*After that, she turns to Evan's drone and stares at it for a moment or two. The scanner slips back to where it gets stored to avoid accidentally scanning the drone, then Planner replies.*

"I see. Any details about the creations you can create?"

(Oooh yes!)

Evan grins within the heli. It was typical of him to show off his powers, of course.

"Yeah! They all come fully stocked with weapons and resources like fuel, but don't expect them to have much human commodities!"

"Also, they normally disappear within 5-10 mins unless I concentrate on letting them exist, but over here they last real long thanks to a nice offer I got from someone!"

He continues on, excited and enthusiastic... not knowing if he's talking himself into a trap.

"Finally, yeah, I can control a good number of them, thanks to some control-center part of my mind! Pretty cool, huh?"

Nolles just looks around awkwardly, gazing at his left arm for a good while.

"I don't really know how to explain my powers..."

*Planner seems to be listening intently, her expression nonetheless never changing from her usual constant. Slowly, she starts lifting a notepad up to her face, writing something down swiftly on it with a pen. She seems to be taking notes... Once he mentions the control center type deal, she blinks.*

"Interesting. I am curious about a detail. The control center. Are there any side-effects from controlling many drones at once, such as headaches, nausea, et cetera?"

*She turns to Nolles and gives him a nod of understanding, then explains what she found in terms of the scan she performed earlier. It might be apparent that she doesn't seem to be entirely normal...*

"Not too much probs, actually. First, it can't multitask as well if there's too many!"

Evan's clueless that she's asking him for his weaknesses, of course. His pride getting to his head and all...

"It also ain't too fun if they get shot down, since it's almost like experiencing getting shot down in real life... while I can handle it, that ain't fun on my mind!"

"An... energy...? I guess that explains some of it..."

Nolles then listens to Evan, wincing a little when he mentions how getting his aircraft shot down doesn't feel nice. At the same time, he has pretty remembered every single detail of how Evan works, just in case.

"Maybe I should... go... or something..."

*Planner shakes her head to Nolles.*

"Negative. Feel free to stay here. There is no problem with you being around."

*Then, she turns back to Evan, nodding to him in understanding.*

"I see. That does seem uncomfortable. Have you tried to remedy those flaws yet?"

"Well... sort of. I try to limit myself to around two squadrons worth of aircraft max. Then I'd have more control and less mishaps!"

Evan grins at the other side of the communication relay.

He then talks in a more encouraging tone. "Nolles, it's OK to stay around! I'm interested in how your power works..."

Back there in their first encounter... Evan was there as himself. His life fearing self.

But speaking through a drone here... he was more confident since he wouldn't get vaporized.

"Alright..."

Nolles seems slightly nervous, but he tries his best to relax and calm down, looking around uncertainly from time to time.

*Planner blinks and would probably smile faintly, but didn't. She can't, to be honest. That'd activate her last resort... She instead decides to try to converse.*

"I see. Mishaps?"

*Her attention shifts to Nolles once again.*

"Hmm. How are you feeling right now?"

"Mishaps like getting shot down thanks to being careless. They've fought wars before."

The drone notices the redhead nearby, as it then introduces itself.

"Good day there, lady! Evan your friendly Aeronaut speaking from this drone here!"

The drone turns to Nolles, and rocks slightly left to right, as if it's curious/inspecting stuff.

Nolles, when Deez pops out, ends up jumping in surprise with a hilariously high-pitched squeak.

"Eep!"

If Planner looks at him, she might note that he's lost colour.

"You're feeling er. I see. That is an odd thing to feel."

*She makes a snorting noise of amusement, then turns back to Evan's drone and nods.*

"I see. Limited processing power, so to speak."

"I added speakers to it, really. Anyway, I made this thing... outta thin air! I also make airplanes, airships, helicopters, all sorts of fantastic flying machines!"

Evan winks within his helicopter.

Hearing the Eep! the drone calls to Nolles to relax.

"No need to worry, Nolles. She doesn't look like an enemy."

The drone turns towards Planner.

"You could say that, in a way. Though I do have lots of it, it aint infinite!"
