[Maria smiles, matching Hibiki's energy as best she can, though she definitely is still a little slow - she can't put in too much energy after her little episode, otherwise she'll be overly tired the next day...and she'd rather not get scolded by the on-site nurse.]

Hm? Oh, well...yes, I do. I don't do a lot of building, personally, but I helped design my friend Shadow's air shoes - they function specifically for and with his energy signature, allowing him to hover and move at incredibly high speeds. My grandfather is the one that built them, though - he's an amazing scientist and roboticist!! He actually designed the entire space colony me - that is to say...myself, and dozens of other researchers, and my grandfather himself of course - we all live on. It's an amazing piece of engineering, and all for the benefit of mankind, too!! A place where research is done toward things that can benefit thousands, even millions of people!
