"Eh, so long as they don't get in the way of my work, I don't really worry about 'em," Colin says, shaking his head. "Most of 'em won't ever reach a point in their lives where understanding me is vital to their survival, so they don't try. It's not my problem, or duty to make sure they do. There's a reason my sisters call me a walking diplomatic incident."
He follows Meta's gaze and movements, taking note of them, trying to gauge what he might be thinking. The note about the grenades to the chin makes him smirk slightly, and he nods in appreciation of the latter observation. "You're built to last. That armor's definitely got some impressive qualities to it too, interesting application of a couple of systems, all kinds of nerdy stuff you probably don't wanna hear me ramble about," he says. "If you wanna set up any tests on what it can handle, I can probably whip something together later."
He follows the Meta's gesture, and he pauses, as if considering it. It might be helpful to know what they did in action, but he's already got a pretty good idea, and he's got a LOT of work that needs to be done... "I better stay here," Colin says in resignation. "If I had a crew here that I trusted to keep up the work I need to do, that'd be something else, but good help's hard to find in the best of conditions. Go on out there and let me know how it performs. Oh, and bring me back the empties if you can, it'll be easier to make more if I don't have to start from scratch every time."
