Who: Jaina
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: There's a new engineer joining the Bishop.
When: She might manage to wait five minutes after the latest shuffling.
The layout of these controls don't make any kind of sense. Not by any scheme I've seen on a ship, anyway.
[Yep, there is a teenager with her device propped on a nearby console, leaning elbows on another while she peers at it, intent. As she goes, she nearly taps buttons and levers, behaving enough not to actually muck with anything.]
It's not like snubfighter controls. Believe me, I know. But if this were anything like a Corellian YT-series I'd expect this to handle pitch, and...that should be yaw. Are the thrusters strictly forward? Maybe there's a z-axis control.
[These are all incorrect, and she seems to understand that. She chews her bottom lip, distracted with thought, before she finally turns her head to look directly into the camera again.]
How universal are the designs on these ships? I'm on Bishop, and there's a few things I can peg as customizations, but not too much. I've got a feeling I should try to learn as much as I can. Especially if I'm going to have to open a few of these panels up after a while to make sure it keeps working correctly.
[Admittedly, part of that feeling is the simple fact that regardless of the circumstances surrounding her presence in this fleet, she is stoked about learning the intricacies of a new style of ship.]

Your augment directs you to do one thing, and you can do that one thing well. If you try to do anything else you will only bring disaster.
[He scowls. He won't be intimidated by a girl! Though, his glare is about as effective as a kitten fluffing up at its own reflection.]
Besides, we have two pilots already. If you are that bored, you can bother the captain and very capable engineer of this ship. His name is Hiro, and he will surely have more patience for your antics than I do.

[Just going to cross her arms and settle back. She's not doing anything, but she's also not vacating the room. See how long he continues to worry.]
Did you learn all this from experience? I'd love to hear all about it.
no subject
I'm not going to entertain you, h-- girl.
[He almost said human. That would've gotten him slapped.]
How old are you? Ten? I'm probably six times your age, and I've been here for almost a year. You'd do well to listen.

Fourteen. And I learn more by doing than I do by sitting in a bunk.
