He didn't tell me before but it was for a customer and after he tested it he trusted it enough to PUT IT IN SOMEONE'S HELMET!

I was so happy.

[maine_makes_growly_noises]

Congratulations! You're working with actual customers now. What fantastic progress.

[protective_logic]

I'm not working with them really. I just... He smiled. He says he hasn't had an apprentice grasp the basics so quickly in a while.

[maine_makes_growly_noises]

Working for them, then? It sounds like he's proud of you. He'd better be.

And I'm not surprised. I know how clever you are.

[protective_logic]

Another blushing point awarded to my boyfriend.

It's nice to know I have potential.

[maine_makes_growly_noises]

I'm sorry I'm not there to trade it in for a kiss. I guess I'll have to wait until I see you next.

You do, and I'm so glad that he's giving you a chance to develop it. Especially because you enjoy what you do.

[protective_logic]

I think I really, really do enjoy it. And... he said he might help me repair my own helmet. For real. Just gut it and start fresh.

[maine_makes_growly_noises]

Really? Reset your hearing mods and everything? That would be a great way to learn.

[protective_logic]

I'd need an interim helmet, of course. But part of the learning is you get this practice helmet and in the end you make it fully functional and...

Well, anyway, I'm excited. Apparently Helmet techs have GREAT coverage for replacement helmets. I'm going to talk to Tex and Smithson about surprising Omega with a helmet for his merc work instead of replacing mine just yet.

[maine_makes_growly_noises]

That sounds like quite the project. I'm sure you'll do a great job with it, and Omega should be proud to receive some of your work. How long would it take, do you think?

[protective_logic]

I don't know. I think I'm going to ask Smithson to do the work for omega though. I want it to be RIGHT.

[maine_makes_growly_noises]

That's understandable, since you might not have experience with mercenary-grade mods. Otherwise I'd be lining up to ask for some of your work.

[protective_logic]

I don't do any work so it's not the same. Oh geez. Blushing again.

Anyway, I want to do it soon. I want him to have everything he needs.

[maine_makes_growly_noises]

You will. And I'm excited to see what you've learned.

Smithson's the man to go to for good mods. Omega's lucky to have you looking out for him.

[protective_logic]

Did you know about Smithson before we started dating?

[maine_makes_growly_noises]

I did. He's done my helmet updates ever since I started working here in Gulch, and he was especially helpful after York's accident.

[protective_logic]

I knew about the York thing. I only just found out that he works a surprising about with mercs.

[maine_makes_growly_noises]

He's incredibly good and he's trustworthy. Both aspects can be hard to find in a mechanic. It helps that he's well-priced, too.

[protective_logic]

Well-priced is one way to put it. I'm handling the books now. Merc jobs tend to cost more because, well, more specialized parts and mods that have to come from suppliers in Charon's military subdivision. It's... sometimes questionably legal, but I'm starting to think that describes a lot of Gulch.

[maine_makes_growly_noises]

Life on Gulch does tend to be questionably legal, but Smithson's operations aren't nearly as bad as what the Wrench can accomplish. She charges significantly more, of course.

[protective_logic]

Wrench?

[maine_makes_growly_noises]

You haven't heard of her? She's the black market mechanic for helmets. Practically a legend. Nobody knows who she is, but she does incredible work for the few people who can afford it.

[protective_logic]

There's black market mechanics? I suppose it makes sense.

[maine_makes_growly_noises]

Very few, and very expensive. I'm more than satisfied with Smithson's work, so I've never bothered to seek them out.

[protective_logic]

I hope someday I can be good enough that you won't have to go to other people.
