Everywhere in the galaxy you'd be lucky to find a cook. Having one implies you can afford one.

[ she rubs her fingers together in universal 'money' gesture. ]

So if you have one, you either own a pleasure yacht or you're part of the military. Outside of that, they're pretty rare.

[forcesensitive]

[That one has an easy out, at least.]

Military. Not like anything we ever ate was halfway decent.

[archaeotechnician]

[ aphra throws her hands up. ]

Military to security. See? That makes sense. I'm a doctor! How do I get stuck with maintenance?

[ because you did run maintenance, aphra. and because your doctorate is super fake. ]

[forcesensitive]

[Oh, but see, that's interesting.]

Like, medical doctor? [She doesn't look like a medic.] Or like a professor?

[archaeotechnician]

Second one. [ a beat. ] I'm an archaeologist. I don't teach; I do.

[ this asshole. ]

[forcesensitive]

Archaeologist.

[He has to think about what that means for a moment.]

So, like, you look for old stuff?

[archaeotechnician]

I recover lost and valuable things.

[ offended, how dare you ]

[forcesensitive]

Oh. [Like treasure? He could get behind that.]

Maybe you're supposed to use the maintenance bots [he can't in good conscience call them droids, they're nowhere near as smart as droids] to help you find things?

[archaeotechnician]

I'm definitely going to fix them up.

[ that's a promise. or maybe a threat. or both. ]

[forcesensitive]

[Once he sees the upgrade he might regret it. Will probably regret it. but for now it's a point of interest.]

So you're a mechanic, too? Maybe that's why they gave you Maintenance. I sure wouldn't know what to do if half this stuff broke down.

[archaeotechnician]

Probably past time you start learning, then. Is there anything to drink here?

[forcesensitive]

I can fix my own equipment. What else should I know? [It's not rhetorical - he wants to be useful on his ship.]

Yeah, we got a couple different kinds in the drink machine. The blue one isn't bad.

[archaeotechnician]

How to fix the thin sheet of metal that's protecting you from the vacuum outside is a good place to start. [ js. ]

[forcesensitive]

[Finn snorts.]

Okay, emergency breach containment is more my field than repairs.

[archaeotechnician]

[ she gives him a cheeky salute. ]

Good. Every continued breath is counting on you.

[ and armed with the aforementioned blue drink, she skips out. ]

[forcesensitive]

I'll do my best.

[But let's hope he doesn't have to.
