Well, the real technophile is MarKus. Allenby just happens to be a pilot, but MarKus is actively trying to work up to building a mecha. Drop by his smithy some time. (I really need to get him a seperate workshop)

Val is all about hanging out with new (pretty) faces. I think Yuna(one of them) has the same interest because of the whole SUmmon Stone thing from Dissidia!
