As the alarm was raised, Hannibal grunted and stopped what he was doing. These things happened all the time. Stone took control so he didn't have to. Hannibal decided to fix the things he was supposed to since the customers couldn't do anything at the moment.

He grabbed the Ripper and checked the chain in it. He took a wrench and gave a little smack to the root of the chain. The rusted chain crumbled on the counter, it was truly a rusty piece of.. you know what. He measured the length of the chain and checked if he had anything like that from one of the cabinets behind him. After a bit of searching he found what he was looking, it was a bit too long but that wasn't a problem since the chain was quite light, it could be cut with a sharp object. Hannibal took an old papercutter and cut the chain, a loud sound echoed when the chain and the cutter contacted, scaring a few customers. Hannibal made a look at them and then continued.

The chain was easy to put in it's place thanks to Ripper's layout. When the chain was in it's place, Hannibal checked the inside of the Ripper. It was no wonder the thing got jammed easily, it was full with small rocks which easily blocked the machinery. Hannibal slammed the Ripper on the counter and most of the rocks came out. The remaining rocks he took out with his hands. Hannibal took a deep breath and blew the dust away from the machinery. He reassembled the Ripper and tested it out. It was sweet music for a repairer but terrible to the others, though it was a bit too loud. Hannibal opened the Ripper again and oiled the machinery thoroughly, fixing and tweaking a few things before trying it again. Now it worked like a charm.

"Not bad.. took about 20 minutes or so"

He shut the Ripper off and turned his head at Stone.

"You want it now?"
