So some people have looked at trying to disable the augments, which hasn't ended well, but what about what they do? I know that they give us - or enhance - a skill for our jobs here, and that they can give you additional skills or 'powers'.

( If you bought them or- however it happened. She hasn't found out that much about that yet. It's a whole work in progress )

But what about the skills we have, and our ship jobs. I was put into medical, and I had some medical knowledge before coming here - though the augment gave me everything else. Has anyone been given a job that they had never worked in before? Or something that they would never do? Or are we being perfectly selected?

( Because, even with the augments, putting someone in a job they had zero knowledge of before could cause something to happen. Unless they don't want to 'influence their ratings' that way )

And, related, has anyone ever changed their job?

[A smooth response, as Tyrion continues to work in the background, the noise sounded like metal scrapping together.]

I come from a world where we are far, far below this level of technology that you have here ... we do not have flushing toliets, for one, but I was given the position as an engineer, and all that entails. I've done additional training with improving by reading, and practice, of course.

Then, unless you built anything from other materials before, it’s all new. Did the information from your augment clear up space and communicating or did you learn that yourself?

Voice

[tallasaking]

Precisely. And the augment taught me all the basics - I've covered the gaps as well I can with extensive reading on the subjects.

Voice

[intelligently]

There are probably others that could help too. In case anything comes up that reading can't cover.

I have met my fair share of genius around here, and I agree with you completely.

[intelligently]

That could be something they think about. Obviously they had a reason for making you an engineer.

[tallasaking]

Well, I do have a very ... questioning mind. Perhaps they wanted to put that inquisitiveness to good use.

[intelligently]

Hopefully you'll be able to figure something out that we haven't been able to, then.

[tallasaking]

One can only hope -- but trust me, I shall not rest until I have answers. I'm persistent like that. At least while I am sober.

[intelligently]

I'd be interested in knowing what you find.

[tallasaking]

I would be delighted to share, if you agree to the same with me.

[intelligently]

Of course. Otherwise we won't get anywhere.

[tallasaking]

Well I certainly cannot argue with that fine logic.
