Who: Erik Lehnsherr and you
Broadcast: Fleetwide video
Action: the Heron, docked on Solace
When: now

[The video feed opens in one of the ship hangars in Solace's hub - the business end, judging by the many crates and boxes stacked against the wall and the audible power drilling in the background. Erik is also there, actually making a fleetwide video intentionally for the first time. He's not interested in making it last long, so he gets right to the point.]

For those who are still repairing their ships or looking into the services here, it's worth mentioning that it's possible to hire power tools and do the work yourself. Most of the shops won't; they prefer to sell their own services. But there are one or two places that hire out their equipment by the hour. Having watched some of the shops work on other vessels, it's just as good an option, and likely cheaper for some.

[He pauses for a moment, shutting his eyes with faint irritation.]

And. If anyone is in need of space-grade duct tape, I have spare rolls... several dozen of them.

[Bulk buying has never been this exciting, folks. Those looking to catch Erik in person will find him walking around the outside of the Heron in the hangar, or working on fixing the twisted, bent parts of the shuttle dock door outside the ship. And yes, that crate of duct tape is there too.]

Something like that. The reverse side is adhesive, which is how it sticks to other things.

I can save a roll for you, if you want.

If you would, please. I would like to see how it works in person.

How are you feeling, by the way? You are less cranky.

[He nods, and throws the roll over his shoulder to land back in the crate. Her comment does make him roll his eyes slightly in response.]

I'm doing better. It's been nearly a week, after all.

[aside from a lip twitch at him rolling her eyes, she keeps her expression straight]

So it has. I'm glad you're doing better. And twice as glad you are not a cranky thing.
