[Details indeed. Thor isn't going to point that out either. He's gotten very good at fooling himself when he wants to, and if this is letting him feel needed, then so much the better.]
Oh, I learned about all kinds of ships. But not all of them are built the same, obviously. [He pokes lightly at the working generator, not touching anything that'd cause problems.] And if Rabbit got his hands on it, I'd expect it to be even less straightforward.
[ One of these days they would have to talk about their problems like adults. But today is not that day as they have other days to keep themselves distracted. ]
This one is very special. But you should have seen my old ship, the Milano. Ohhh, now that was a beauty. Pity it crashed after we almost got killed by the Sovereign. Long story, Rocket's fault. It's also how we ended meeting my father. Even longer story and twice as shitty.
[ Peter looks lost in thought for a few seconds, reminiscing all the times the ship almost got taken down by some person or another trying to kill them. God times, those. ]
Okay, so, I'll give you the basics first then. Rocket made it twice fast as he was before by merging two different kinds of circuits... [ Peter starts to point out the most important parts of the generators and how to maintain them, Those are the ones that need to stay undamaged if they don't want to end stranded in the middle of space as it had happened to Nebula and Tony. ] The extra weapons are controlled from the bridge, I could give you a quick course some other day but if you ask Rocket instead he will be delighted about telling you all the details.
[ He isn't being sarcastic this time. Rocket really likes his weapons and any chance to show off, so it cheers him up when someone ask about ways to blow up things. ]
[Why talk about one's problems like adults when you can just ignore them instead? It's not like it changes things either way, as far as Thor is concerned.
He shakes himself a little to concentrate on what Peter is saying, rubbing his false eye with a knuckle.]
Milano? Isn't that a cookie?
[What? It's the only one he's heard of before.
Either way, he's following along just fine as the systems are explained. Most of it sounds pretty familiar.]
Oh, no doubt. Bet we could find an asteroid field or something so he could show them off. That'd really make his day.
[ Maybe because those problems will eventually come to bite you in the ass. Eventually.
Peter stops his explanation, for once less annoyed at the teasing and more surprised that Thor even knows that. Occasionally he forgets that five years have passed and that the god lived on Earth all this time. ]
Uh. No! Well...yes. Milano is a cookie brand. But the ship was named after a singer from when I was a kid, Alyssa Milano. The Benatar is named after another singer too, Pat Benatar. They're great, I'll show you some of their songs later.
[ There's a theme when it comes to all the things related to Peter and it's either music or 80s pop culture references. ]
You know, that's not a terrible idea. Drax might welcome some action too. [ He closes the generator and gives Thor a nod, then points at the one heavy metal frame next to it. The second generator is still on, but the light it emits is dimmed and its cover is banged. ] I'll say try not to get yourself electrocuted opening it but since you can summon lightning, I imagine that doesn't affect you.
[Sometimes Thor gets a kick out of how flabbergasted people can get when he reveals he knows something very basic about Midgardian culture. Sure, he still has his share of misunderstandings and he hasn't had nearly enough time to catch up on the entirely of modern cinema, but between his time with the Avengers and the establishment of New Asgard, he's had plenty of opportunity to learn new things. Especially junk food.]
Ha, I knew it. [He's not surprised that Quill has even named his ships after singers, though.] Oh, I look forward to it.
Your concern is touching, Quill. [He throws Peter a tired, but cheeky, sort of smile, and turns his attention to the busted generator. It's going to require a bit more muscle than just opening the door, and it takes him a few moments to find the right leverage to lift the damn thing without damaging anything else. Or electrocuting himself, or Peter. That would be rude of him.
So would the commentary he briefly debates adding, regarding the tendency of this ship to stop functioning correctly. He probably shouldn't be pointing fingers in that department.]

How the Hel did this get so busted?
