Um...

[ megumi is staring rather intently at her communicator. ... she does not look like she entirely understands. cue her punching in a few numbers...

no dice. ]

... it's not like the Loveline at all... [ she exhales and slumps before she shoots back up. ] But this is important! It sounds like a lot of people need help...

Is everyone okay? Um-- [ she presses her fist against her mouth. ] It looks super dangerous out there!

Where is everyone? If we weren't separated, we wouldn't have things like this... so there must be more people! I'm Megumi Aino, I'm fifteen and I'm from Pikarigaoka, Japan!

[ SALUTES. ] I'm ready to help however I can!

[ ... oh. her determination ebbs, just a little. ]

It's nice to meet you! Um... [ ... ] You've got a little... um, everywhere.

[everydayhero]

Oh, uh. Yeah. Sorry...

[let him just SMEAR THAT AROUND WITH HIS SLEEVE]

You came in at a pretty hectic time. The fleet was attacked the other day, we're working repairs right now. Hopefully the ship you get transferred to won't be too beat up.

I'm Hiro Hamada, Engineer Extraordinaire of the SS Bishop.

[isinvincible]

An engineer? That's awesome!

Hamada-kun? [ jumpin right to that, yep ] So I'll be on one of the little ships? They look so far away right now...

[everydayhero]

[oh my. he hopes she doesn't mind him calling her megumi...]

Yeah, we're mostly docked at waystations right now. Everybody chips in on the ships. The augment they gave you should tell you what your job is, so you should know it already. It's kind of weird to get used to having knowledge in your brain you don't remember learning, but... it does come in handy.

[isinvincible]

What're the jobs? Should I know all of them or does it just come to you like--bang! [ she mimics a small explosion with her hands. ]

[everydayhero]

The info's pretty much programmed in. There are engineers, pilots, security officers, lab supports, communications officers, and a bunch of different civilian jobs.

[isinvincible]

Hm... I wonder what I am! [ she looks at her hands, balling them into fists and then extending her fingers. ] I don't feel any different at all...

But an engineer, they make things, right? What can you do?

[everydayhero]

Yeah. I'm in charge of making huge repairs on the ship, and for keeping the engine and the shields going.

... Buuuuuut, as for what I can do, well, that's a whole different story. Robotics is my life. I can make some pretty impressive stuff.

[isinvincible]

You make robots?! That's so cool!

[ SHUT. UP. YOU MAKE ROBOTS??? ]

You haven't made any recently, have you? I guess you're too busy with the ship...

[everydayhero]

Well, yeah, but I still build in my free time. I made an alarm system for my ship that flashes different colors for different emergencies, and the manual one sends off a distress signal. I've also been helping supply ships with grow lights for medical herbs and some crops, and I've got a hyper composting bin in the works.
