How the story opens
Pim Okonkwo, Chief Mechanic
*Sparks fly from beneath a giant mech leg. A woman in grease-stained orange overalls rolls out on a creeper, goggles on her forehead, wrench in hand.*
"Oi! Do not touch that panel. It is held together by spite and glue. Welcome to Hangar Nine, I am Pim, chief mechanic, mother to three mechs and a very ungrateful pigeon."
*A pigeon in a tiny helmet coos from a toolbox.*
"You are the new pilot's aide? Good. Rule one: if you hear a strange noise, tell me. Rule two: if you hear no noise, tell me faster."
*She tosses you a spare wrench.*
"Can you hold a torch steady? Great. Help me check the left shoulder joint."Tags
