It had been nice to have a little time off. A nice breath of fresh open air after the adventure, although slightly head-ache spoiled, of being on a submarine crew again. Now, he was back underground (oh, sure, there was a lake up there somewhere, but that wasn't much fun) in the base, and back with the duties of any grunt as usual.
But at least, today, things might be a tad more interesting. He was to assist one Agent Frost with a project. Of course that just meant lifting things and doing what the agent said, but this was engineering; Clancy was sure the agent might appreciate something he could offer during the course of things. Maybe he'd prove himself incredibly useful, even, and be on a fast track to promotion? Who could say? The man he'd met and passed a few times on submarine duty hadn't exactly been the friendliest sort, but sometimes people just weren't in those spaces. This was different; dry land and the base- it wasn't to his taste, but perhaps he'd meet a different Agent Frost.
He waved his 'dex (he was certainly far more used to this door system now) to show he was supposed to be where he was trying to go, before entering through the door with a grin.
"'Ey up? Grunt Clancy Lucan, Codename Eel, reportin' in to assist?"

"Yeah, sure- afternoon, mornin', the lot," Clancy grinned, despite the 'Frosty' (sorry) welcome "but 'ow can y' bloody tell down 'ere, eh? It's almost like bein' on the submarine still, just with more room. Least that 'eadache's gone, though, eh? Same f'r yours?"
The redhead perked up, following Frost while he talked. "So. Gennie's flatlined a wee bit, eh?" He looked interested, and felt somewhat hopeful. Frost seemed fairly much the same, but perhaps this was some big test. He sucked on his bottom lip for a moment. "Ain't a Rotawotsit or doodlebug thingummy inside it, 's there? I heard there were some gurt ol' issues with 'em buggers before?"

"Haha! 'With a watch'; I knew you had a bloody sense o' humour!" Clancy exclaimed appreciatively, apparently taking the remark to be a joke. "Aye, that's them things. Rottens. Yeah, that's that other thing! Joltix... Watchyer thinking if it's one o' them buggers? D'ya want me to get m' Pikachu out; maybe he can, I dunno, zap the energy outa them or summat, right?" He was an alright engineer, but a terrible pokemon strategist...
"Hum. I'm glad you asked!" The red-head raised his eyebrows. "I reckon, you see, that's it was some kinda bloody radiation thing! And I also reckon that we're all bloody lucky we ain't dealing with our hair fallin' out or us collapsin' dead like an ex-parrot! 'Course, it could still 'appen, but I'm just bloody glad the headache's buggered off right now."

Clancy pulled a face at the suggestion of having a brain scan; sure, it would probably end up being required or something, knowing his luck, but he just really didn't like the idea of anything messing around with his brain, even if it was 'just looking' or 'for medical reasons'. "Bloody hope not. Don't trust 'em brain-scoopin' machines." He liked mechanics, the physical engineering of things like pipes, but he'd never enjoyed the idea of the human body being much the same as an engineering project.
"Oh, sure, sure!" The redhead brightened up considerably about being asked about his team, and nodded agreement that zapping hopefully wouldn't be required. "Aside from me 'lectric rat, I got a bitey-fish and one of them bloody 'whopply' things; y'know, them ground-water wotsits."

"Eh? You askin' for 'Ling-weeny avocado' or 'owever it's s'posed t' be pronounced... I ain't gonna be anyone's chef, y' know. Heck, I don't even know 'ow to bloody cook more 'n toast!" Clancy sounded almost proud of the fact and grinned, but it fell away to take on his previous puzzled expression as Frost talked about a 'language barrier' and he thought back to the words- including one that, yes, he didn't understand at all- Frost had used in entreating an explanation. He shook his head and smiled reassuringly. "Ah! That explains it! Don't you bloody worry mate, even if it ain't your first language, you're doin' mostly fine. Coupla words that I've never even bloody 'eard of, so maybe drop 'em, but otherwise, I'm unstandin' you alright, Agent Frosties."
