I thought I could trust our mechanics!
They’ve never had a reputation for being a little sketchy! Or being overpriced because most people don’t understand vehicles as much as them!

better you let them stock it , than them cannibalizing other pieces of stock .

there's a game to this .

(Blink. Blink. Blink.)

I’m not sure. Not likely, I’d assume.
Probably the same odds of you deciding not to be a deeply unpleasant pain in my ass one day.

- uh.”

Hood had heard about that little escapade? Oh. He didn’t figure that into his endless worried thoughts about what this could be about. Jon didn’t think that much of it really.

He was just helping out.

“I was just doing my part, Sir.”

It was clear from a slight boost in his timid tone -

At the mention of his father’s death, he simply nodded as if it were passing small-talk of no consequence.

He’s currently stuck in a debate between two maintenance crews. One crew want recharging laser tools and the other wants cool-down laser tools.

Was that overly formal?
Not formal enough?
He wasn’t sure.

- he’d spoken with Hood. But that didn’t stop the anxiety setting in.

The vagueness of the meeting certainly wasn’t helping either. He liked to know things. Everything. Even a suprise birthday gift or something as small as an unexpected change in his day was something Jon -

Jon’s heart was pumping. He could hear the sound of its booms echoing throughout his frazzled skull as he made his way towards the office, offering small nods and smiles to passers-by.
