Hey folks, it's Valentine here. Now that I've had a taste of nitty gritty fieldwork, I think it'd be prudent of me to take a few precautions. I'm looking for a good mechanic. And I'd prefer not to involve ADI at this point, so please don't suggest I just consult with the Technology department. Let's keep this one on one for now.

The parts are proprietary and you won't have seen them before, so I need a quick learner. Advanced experience is a plus, but I've done just fine with regular Joes and Jills up to this point. The absolute most important qualification, though, is that you let me buy you a drink and have a chat with you first. Amateur transhumanism philosophers need not apply, thanks.

I'm willing to either pay or trade what you think is fair. Favors, errands. Maybe I can teach you something.

You know what, let's make that a general offer. Even if you're not a mechanic, I'm happy to teach what skills I can to anybody interested. Want to learn to shoot a gun? Use a computer? Make a theory corkboard? Swing dance? Hit me up and let's make it a date.

Really, I can't stress enough how much extra time I've got on my hands.

you know how to swing dance?

[It's hard to tell given, y'know, text, but this is Winter's excited face.]

[outofthepast]

Yes indeed. Seems to be kicking around somewhere in my head.

[Heh.]

[worthallthis]

i do too

so does george and i taught belova some things

i also know a little about how to maintain my arm. i don't know if that would help you but i want to try

[outofthepast]

Boy, it really is popular, isn't it?

I'd like to compare them myself sometime. But like I said, drinks first. No exceptions, I'm afraid.

[worthallthis]

[He makes a face on his end.]

does it have to be alcoholic or in public

i dont like crowds or alcohol

[outofthepast]

No. Neither. It's the chatting that's the important part. I'm not handing my maintenance over to anybody I can't have a friendly evening chat with.

[worthallthis]

[There's a several minute long pause before the answer.]

i am not very good at chatting but i will try

[outofthepast]

That's the spirit.

It's not exactly the most important qualification for a mechanic, but it's important to me.

[worthallthis]

i can bring cocoa to your apartment

or meet you somewhere else like the park
