[ Blueprints cover a table in the Avatar 2.0 household, sketches of what looks like a 1920's steampunk-esque car. To Asami, of course, it's the latest model. ]

I've been wondering how to help out around this place and I think I've got it. You could call me a sometime-engineer and these are drawings of a regular Satomobile, a race-car and a taxi-cab invented by my family. They're mostly doodled from memory, so please excuse any mistakes. It would really benefit the city to have a police cab around too, but I'm still working on the designs for that.

[ Turning the camera back to face her, she's shown to be prettily made-up as usual, this time with a red scarf whirled around her neck. ]

I'd love it if somebody wouldn't mind investing in the creation of these automobiles. On the other hand, I'm not going to delude myself. I need a job to afford kick-starting this sort of project ... something linking back to mechanics would be great, obviously. I guess you could call this a mini-showcase of what I can do. Oh! [ Snapping her fingers. ] As someone who's trained since she was a little girl, I can also teach self-defence classes to anyone who needs to brush-up on theirs.

Don't worry about a job being too difficult for me, I can handle myself.

[Man is she glad Chekov didn't say anything. If he had mentioned helping her filter a post away from her housemates, she'd have to explain why she didn't want them seeing the post.]

I think I need some water. [It's better than her usual excuse, at least, and it has the benefit of being true. She quickly hops up again and heads back to the kitchen. DISTRACT ASAMI WITH CARS, CHEKOV. PLEASE!]

Korra, spill.

[ That sharp exit? Not so convincing, following in her wake. ]

[SAVE HER, CHEKOV. SAAAAAAAAAVE HEEEEER.]

[WORST FRIEND EVER, DUDE.

She chugs a glass of water.]

There's nothing to spill. He just helped me with some tech stuff. [True but vague enough to keep her out of trouble -- hopefully.]

[Honestly, Chekov isn't even sure what the problem is. Yes, Korra asked him about codes; yes, the deities were mentioned; yes, he may he determined that Korra was going to make a trade and would prefer that her friends not know...

But why is that bad?

Now that Korra has started to explain, he feels that he can now contribute (hopefully without getting anyone in trouble for reasons he has not yet determined).]

Yes, I programmed filters into Korra's device. Very basic ones. Many people in the City use them.

[ Glancing back to the communicator when Korra's wincing becomes a little too obvious, Asami notes that Chekov's been assigning filters to Korra's and that a private line has had something to do with Naga because of it. Which is still really confusing, but at least feels halfway to the truth.

She really does detest secrets, but merely shrugs. ]

Okay.

[SWEET RELIEF. With any luck, Asami will forget about this and not try to ask her about it again later, when she least expects it.]

I should probably check on Naga, actually. I bet she's hungry. See ya, Chekov!

[And she bolts.]
