#003 [Video]

Who: Hiro Hamada
Broadcast: Fleetwide Video
Action: Waystation/Bishop
When: Sometime after the attacks.


[The video opens on Hiro, who's looking over his shoulder at what... looks like it might have once been the Bishop. It really barely survived that battle. He looks a little exasperated, but not visibly injured--at least not what can be seen of him here.]

So, it looks like we've got our work cut out for us. [he glances back to the camera.] For everybody who doesn't know, my name is Hiro Hamada. I'm the engineer on the SS Bishop. I know there aren't enough engineers to go around for the repairs we all need, so I'm going to offer my services. I know my way around things like this. If you need help on your ship, let me know. If you can't do the repairs, but you can work to get parts, I'll take that in payment.

[he looks like he's about to sign off, but he pauses.]

Oh, right. If you're not an engineer in augment, but you can help, make sure you're pulling your weight. The faster we can get done repairing, the faster we can go back to our lives.
hymnals: you bring them right back to me (and every time i forget those things)

[Adra rubs his chin.]

He's a doctor?

[Adra's inclined to say, 'seems young,' but Adra was barely a teenager when he started training in the priesthood, so ... seems likely, he supposes.]
hymnals: mirroring your stare (i'm the face that you have to face)

[That does sound impressive.]

I'm no tinker myself, but I respect the profession. Especially when it's put towards helping people.

[He sighs; rubs the back of his neck.]

Most tinkers I know are much more ... bomb focused.
hymnals: you're the pretender (what if i say i'm not like the others)

[He shuts one eye.]

On purpose, or by accident?
hymnals: that whole defense (done pleading ignorance)

Well, that's ... something, I guess. Goblin design philosophy trends towards fully intending to harm.
hymnals: you burn fire in my dreams (you lay stones at my feet)

Ha ha. You're fucking cute, kiddo. It's just a style of engineering.

[A beat.]

Admittedly, pioneered by actual goblins. But plenty of other people take up the 'let's build the biggest, most unstable bomb we can imagine and then paint a smiley face on it' cause.
hymnals: that's living and dying (watch the leaves in the summer breeze)

[Occasionally.]

Glad to hear it.
