[ The crew jumpsuit they gave him is tight with bright purple stripes running the length of it, when he's used to baggy plain grey. Wearing it he feels more like a podracer superstar than a former Imperial cargo pilot, which in turn makes him both slightly more confident and slightly more nervous, his body language all crossed legs and fidgeting. His dark eyes dart, nervous. ]

Listen. Listen. Hello, yes, listen, I need help.

[ He sounds a little urgent about it, voice dropped low. ]

Um, I've followed the instructions, and turned up to work, and I want to work, I do. It's the least I could do, I think.

[ He feels grateful enough to even be here that he's fallen immediately back into the old routine of following orders, and after the initial introduction and orientation was over his orders were to report for his first shift at the electronics store. So he's done that before even going to see if the directions to his ship held true. Before even seeing Cassian and Jyn. And that has... well, proven to be a mistake. ]

I've worked out how to send a message — assuming anyone actually sees this — but I don't really know how to fix them. Does anybody have any tips about using the technology here? It's just a little, um, different from what I'm used to. Okay. Thank you.

[ He seems a little sheepish about having to ask at all, grimacing to himself as he ends the transmission and signs off. ]

No, um.

[ He realizes he responded automatically and switches to the text channel, but he forgets to turn the video off so there is also dull additional video of him typing. ]

They gave me a job helping people fix problems with their Star Fruit technology.
Mostly hardware, I wouldn't even know where to begin with the programs.

[finethanks]

I see. So you mean you're actually something of a repair man. With equipment you haven't seen before? How exciting~. They must have a lot of faith in you.

I bet there are old pieces of technology or parts that you can experiment with. The jobs here don't seem all too strict, so don't worry too much.

[ex_brainstorm70]

That's a great idea! Maybe they have some broken models they'll let me take home and try to fix. I'll ask.

As for faith... it's probably not really that. I might have exaggerated my abilities a little.

[finethanks]

Do you suppose you'll have trouble with this sort of job? You must be modest, that's all. I have confidence in you.

[ex_brainstorm70]

Thanks!

I don't know about modest. But it's okay. It's not exactly high stakes work. I just have to get used to that.

[finethanks]

Fufu, are you used you high stakes work? How stressful, if that's the case.

[ex_brainstorm70]

Well. Yes. The kind of thing that matters if you get it wrong. But it matters when you get it right, too, so it's worth the stress. Probably? Ha ha...

[finethanks]

That's right! With an attitude like that, I'm certain you can handle a job like this no problem~. Good luck!
