Barbara is really glad to have Dick around again for a lot of reasons. One of those reasons is that he's good with his hands.

She convinced him to help her rig up a harness so she can get underneath the Aerie One and open up some of the auxiliary panels that contain her servers. Her head is buried in one of said compartments with cables spilling out around her.

"Well, crap," she mutters.

[ooc: Babs is open to people walking up and saying 'hi' as well as people who want to reach her by radio/whatever.]

"Good news? Bad news?"

Tim might be able to help her here. Dick is just kind of dangling from the harness beside her, staring at the tangle of wires like they might attack him.

"I really can't tell."

[twiceahero.livejournal.com]

"Bad news, boy genius. Definitely bad news." Barbara rolls her eyes, but she's grinning despite her frustration.

"It looks like my backup RAID array control is burned out here."

Because that makes sense!

[greatestofease.livejournal.com]

Dick nods seriously and puts an appropriately sad face on.

"That's terrible."




"Um. What's that?"

[twiceahero.livejournal.com]

Babs' sigh is long-suffering and fond all at once. "It means, brain boy, that if my primary data servers ever crash the backups won't be up to date or retrievable."

Obviously.

[greatestofease.livejournal.com]

"Sooooooo we fix it," Dick says, ruffling her hair with one hand and hanging on to the harness with the other. "I'll get you a new one. They sell those at Wal-Mart, right?"

[twiceahero.livejournal.com]

She can't help but laugh, "Well, they did. But not the kind I need."

Her eyebrow quirks, "You up for a little adventure, boy wonder?"

[greatestofease.livejournal.com]

"When am I ever not?"

Grin. Grin grin grin.

"Where we headed?"

[twiceahero.livejournal.com]

"Good question. I need to check my database to see where the nearest undamaged NSA field office is."

What? It's not like the government's using their gear anymore, right?

[greatestofease.livejournal.com]

Dick lifts an eyebrow at her, and lowers the other one, all cartoon-faced quizzical.

"... the nearest NSA office?"

[twiceahero.livejournal.com]

She sighs again, "The National Security Administration. They're the tech geeks of the government."

Oooooooh, planes.

Oooooooh, words like 'auxiliary' and 'servers.' Also, compartments and cables.

There is a curious Sokka curiously looking at her curiously.

[twiceahero.livejournal.com]

Babs may do a good job of hiding it, but she has a "little" problem with hypervigilence. She knows there's someone behind her but she doesn't turn to look. "What's up?" she asks seemingly absently.

[notanoptimist.livejournal.com]

Sokka will feel sheepish about being caught staring when there isn't an airplane with an open compartment and the possibility of someone willing to let him poke at it in front of him.

"Ogling your plane?" Sokka offers, grinning brightly. He's spent enough time around Steph's friends to not be even slightly surprised by hypervigilence anymore. "Is there something wrong with it?"

[twiceahero.livejournal.com]

"the plane is Zinda's domain, and that means that it's in inhimanly good shape." She sounds fond about that. "The problem is my computers."

[notanoptimist.livejournal.com]

A feeeeeeeeeeeeew little steps closer, so Sokka can tilt his head and try to see what she's looking at, hands behind his back to keep from literal poking.

"What's wrong with them?"

[twiceahero.livejournal.com]

The primary RAID array on my backup data server has a bad controller." Yeah... that might be an overly complicated answer. Or it might be a test.

[angela-edmunds.livejournal.com]

Angela is walking by, reading a book. Yes, walking and reading. The girl has a death wish.

She nearly runs into Barbara's feet. "Oh...hey, what's up? Besides you?"

[twiceahero.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Angela," Babs calls without pulling her head out of the compartment. "Just trying to keep my computers up and running."

[angela-edmunds.livejournal.com]

"Ah. Good call. Have there been problems?"

[twiceahero.livejournal.com]

"Unfortunayely, yeah." Barbara pushes herself out of the compartment and spins in her harness to face Angela. "My data backup servers have gone down, and I think I've found the problem."

[angela-edmunds.livejournal.com]

"Oh man...what's the problem?" She hopes it can be fixed, whatever it is.

[twiceahero.livejournal.com]

"Looks like the primary RAID controller is burned out. Standard wear and tear damage probably, Unfirtunately I don't have any spares with me, so I'm going to have to see about hunting some down."

[angela-edmunds.livejournal.com]

Angela frowns. "Do you think we can find them easily?"

Honestly, she doesn't even know what one is.

[twiceahero.livejournal.com]

Barbara snorts, "Oh, I know where some are. It's just managing to get some that'll be tricky."

[angela-edmunds.livejournal.com]

"Well, I'll help if you want...just tell me what to do."
