"Oh dear, how unfortunate. Silly old butterfingers at work again."
Try to fix the mechanism.
You're pretty sure you're gonna need to find a replacement, because you pulverized the damn thing into dust. It's kinda impressive, actually.

((Meanwhile, the servant flees in fear.))
((And rightly so.))
"I have medical training, but brought no supplies. I am also likely one of the more intimidating and survivable members of this team.
Would you prefer I patrol or not?"
Berserker synthflesh Faith: Squishy Medic?
"Supplies can be provided. And yes, I would prefer you stay on guard here. Better that someone of your capacities remains here, should the compound need to be defended. The patrols are mainly to remind them that you exist; the uniforms and weapons should be more then enough to frighten them."
He tilts his head and smiles.
"That, and having a great white demon standing on the steps to the palace may give them pause for thought about trying to overthrow this temple to the Shining One."

Berserker synthflesh Faith: Squishy Medic?
"I can medic too, and I have some supplies. But I also have amps that would fit more into the duty with going into the town and all."
"I believe it is combat duty that would suit one such as you." he says, the tone of his voice inscrutable.
Grate looks up towards Feyri.
"Miss Feyri, how will we arrange the patrols?"
"Seek and divide."
Feyri looked at the rest, seeing that most of them had their faceplates still up and wondered what their expressions were. She had no faceplate before the visor.
"We're approximately a whole squad in number. Ten people. I'm thinking two patrols of four, with two reliable communicators in the Palace. For protection of course.
The patrols would be made of a signaller, a pointman, and two observers. One will handle the communications, one will be the strong arm, and the other two can fulfill any other role that would be needed, preferably in medicare or relating with the populace. Our best weapon at the moment is knowledge, and not the incessant killing of people who you don't know." She glanced at Xan's direction briefly, before looking back at the general audience. For some of us.
"However I'd like our best medical personnel to stay in the Palace along with a trained guard...Though we could split up into three groups of four, three and three.
"Any opinions?"
"Miss Feyri, can I stay in the palace, then?"
"You stay here with others who I believe would help in getting information from the higher ups. However I'd like to hear the rest's opinion on this matter."
"The belief holds that our caste is in color--with the high emphasis on nudity...which explains the emphasis on only pants; something I'd like someone to correct--and that we'd need someone who knows his or her way around technology. A hacker, just in case anything with communication goes wrong."
Inquire and wait for team response. Also, ask the messenger who is standing right there:
"Why do we need to leave medical personnel in the Palace anyway? Do you require aid in the infirmaries here? Next, what schedules exist which dictate the time?
"Could we request each and every one of us to be updated with your system of measurement, including time? Thanks. And perhaps local jargon. What castes are commonly seen in the local populace? How do we relate to them in rank and authority?"
"Medical personnel is for your benefit. We cannot guarantee that our doctors will know how to handle your particular...enhancements. Having your own doctors around will ensure that you have access to medical care, should our systems fail. "
"This world follows a 16 hour day, though only three of those are dark now, during the summer. Our week is 10 days. Many will work through one day and then sleep through the the better part of the next. Shift work is almost ubiquitous and odds very rarely meet evens. "
"The local populace below are mostly tradesman and unskilled workers. They have subcastes among themselves, generally based upon income, but to you they are all browns."
Also, are you asking the guy to tell you every single standard of measurement you might run into on the planet? And every slang word? Because you can generally assume metric is semi-universal.
