NETWORK - Help Wanted/Offered
Who: Nick Valentine
Username: valentine
Warnings: Discussion of robot parts and the repair thereof, robot existentialism + objectification
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.

I've picked up on some of it after living in it for so long, but they didn't stick the owner's manual on me when they threw me into the trash chute.

yOU WerEN"T EVEN GIVEN THE CHANCE TO ShoW YOUR USEFULNESS? tHAT CAN"T BE RIGHT. yOU SHOULD HAVE,AT LEAST BEEN ABLE TO WORK TOWARDS GETTING A CHANCE.
no subject
It's all for the better anyway. I wouldn't want a "chance" to work for the Institute. I'd like to know what about me was a "failure," but as far as being useful to those creeps, they can go kick a deathclaw nest.

Because they're a bunch of amoral, murdering bastards who thoughtlessly ruin people's lives.
