So I know that here on the station, there's at least one other mechanic worth her salt and one that can't fix a microwave. Anyone else here dabble in the trade

AND THEN I BLEW IT UP.

Stupid goddamn primitive microwave.

[suckitimashark]

[Grinning.] Really not as hard as you make it out to be.

You sure you're a mechanic?

[cousinisdeeeead]

Yep. Pretty fuckin' sure.

[suckitimashark]

Then I'd suggest you compete. Prove to the station you're not a complete fuck up, yeah? [Friendly grin goes here.]

Video.

[The Kaylee who turns on the video looks significantly more malevolent than the standard issue Kaylee. Her grin is positively criminal, like a grifter luring unsuspecting tourists to a game of pool.]

What kinda competition were ya'll thinkin' of?

Cause I been known to...fix things on occasion.

Video.

[suckitimashark]

Kaylee, my girl, I knew you would answer my call.

How's a build-off sound. Scrounge around in that scrap heap for moving parts, slap 'em together and at the end of the month, we'll have a race to see who's heap works best.

You means ta' say you want me to use second hand junkers ta' build a workin' racer an' then challenge ya?

[Oh Virgil, you have no idea what you just got in to. This is Kaylee's job back in real life...well...on Serenity. She's the best in the verse.]

Shiny.

On the nose. [He grins, wide and sharp. Eyeballing the way other people put things together is one of the best past times. This competition will be marvelous on every level.]

Bring it, love.

[ Someone says mechanics? Enter one (1) adorable looking little girl who looks like she may have just been told it's Christmas. ]

I do! Though I mostly work with nuclear power, I can fix other things too. What kind of competition?

[video]

[suckitimashark]

Well aint you a doll? [Fuuuuck he hates kids, but as long as she's not touching his tools or asking him for advice, he can deal.]

Fixin' up salvaged tech for a drag race at the end of the month. Interested?

[ She doesn't need advice, unless he knows how to fix nuclear reactors in less time. Jade is used to running her own small nuclear power plant for her house. ]

Definitely! That sounds like a lot of fun. Are you using materials from the junkyard, or somewhere else?

[video]

[suckitimashark]

Junkyard only, love.

And to add a bit more challenge, you gotta find someone else to pilot your vehicle. You may know it like the back of your hand, but you're the mechanic/ It oughta be pilotable, savvy?

[stompitdead]

I, uh. I'm an engineer.

[cousinisdeeeead]

I thought you were a cookie eater. A PROFESSIONAL COOKIE EATER.

[stompitdead]

Fuck you. Cooking eating isn't even a j--

--Holy shit. Wait, it is.

[cousinisdeeeead]

Yeah, too bad you weren't one of those, Butterball.

[ Oh, you just said the magic words. ]

Two weeks, huh? [ pause. ] Are works-in-progress allowed?

[video]

[suckitimashark]

You salvage 'em from the junkyard, or did they roll in with you?

[video]

[planetarial]

Salvaged.

[video]

[suckitimashark]

[He just grins.] Then welcome to the competition, I suppose.
