[ 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. ]

They taught me how to speak to customers and use the, um, "register"! They're not leaving me entirely alone!

[juniberries]

[all of this is foreign to her too so you get a sympathetic look.]

Then perhaps they'll be teaching you how to fix the technology here tomorrow. There's only so much training you can fit in a few hours.

[trust her.

she knows......]

[ex_brainstorm70]

Yeah... yeah, maybe!

[ He brightens a touch, and overall seems to have calmed down a little from his initial panic. ]

I just want to be helpful as soon as possible, you know?

[juniberries]

[she smiles back, glad to have helped and also just!! this guy has a good attitude!]

Of course! Despite our circumstances being here, and there being more...pressing matters elsewhere in the galaxy, I don't think anyone can blame you for wanting to do your job well.

I'm sure you're a fast learner.

[ex_brainstorm70]

I am! I mean, I try to be. Not everyone can be good at everything, I suppose.

But, um, when you say "more pressing matters" like that... do you mean the Death Star?

[juniberries]

[that gives her a noticeable pause]

I...have not heard of the Death Star.

[ex_brainstorm70]

Oh! Well. That's... good, probably.
