Icarus would have a comment to drop in the second garage. "Do you use sulfuric acid to clean?"

If it disagrees with experiment, it's wrong.

“Hmm…”

“You’re not as interested with these ones huh?”

“Should we move on or move back one garage?”

"I do have one thing to comment, actually."

Icarus pats the side of the Tiger.

"You said 100mm shielding in the front. What happens if I try to pierce from the side? Or the back? Or the top?"

“Unless it can angle the side armor, the side, rear and top will always be the most vulnerable parts of any tank.”

“I mean, modern battle tanks try to reinforce the side with composite and reactive armor, but the rear and top are still very vulnerable to any opposing shots.”

"Ah, I see. So just fire an anti-tank round from an airplane and..." Icarus makes an exploding gesture with his hands.

I've made some posts on the main thread related to the Gems and their new algae farm, if you wanna take a look. Also, it's almost 1AM for me, so this may be the last post I write for today

“Okay then, if there’s nothing else, let’s move on.”

Morgan and Icarus enter the final garage where another large, angular tank is seen, but has its engine bay open and under repair.

“Finally here’s a modern main battle tank. The M1 Abrams I have here sports a 120mm smoothbore gun, capable of firing high-velocity APFSDS. As for protection, it has various composite armors on the front and sides to increase protection from other high-velocity rounds and chemical HEAT penetrators.”

“Funny you mentioned about strapping jets on the Churchill earlier, because the M1 uses gas turbines for propulsion, making move fast in spite of the weight brought on by the armor. Unfortunately, at least for me, I find the maintenance a bit of a nightmare, as you see here.”

Icarus instinctively takes off his right arm and replaces it with a different arm, containing a set of repair tools, before catching himself.

"Oh, sorry."

He puts on his regular arm again.

"So this thing is what you drive around for various operations?"

“Well, it’s less like missions and more like contracts or jobs I am paid to do. Such jobs range from a basic patrol over a particular location to…eliminating specific targets.”

“As for the thruster, are you talking about the F-14D’s engines?”

“Well the F-14D’s in the hangar, so we can fix its engine there, unless you referring to the M1’s engine here.”

Was Icarus trying to fix the M1’s engine? Or the F-14D’s engine, which is in the hangar they started at?

He was offering to fix the F-14D engine. That's Morgan's MBT, right?

The M1 is Morgan’s MBT, the F-14D is his fighter, for clarification’s sake…

Both he and Icarus arrived back at the hangar, where the F-14D was resting there.

Morgan then gestured at the fighter.

I imagine that several feed pipes and turbine blades need replacing…

"Don't mind if I do."

Icarus kneels down in front of the engine and swaps his right humanoid arm out for an arm lined with tools. Due to a lack of stabilization, he sometimes has to balance himself out with his left hand while performing rapid motions with the right. After a while, he steps away again, even though the repair is still unfinished. A small pile of broken parts lines the site.

"Outta material, unfortunately. I think I managed to replace the most hard-to-access parts though, the rest of the job should be rather easy for you." Icarus swaps his right arm back to a humanoid one. "You're welcome."
