Network - To all Engineers

[heypartner]

Hey, I need someone to make me a few metal skewers and a metal grill for cooking on.

And it'd be nice to have a flat sheet of iron or steel too. Not sure what our metal supply looks like so I'll take the skewers if that's all we can spare.

If you can help me out let me know.

Hey Cobb-

[It feels kind of strange when you have that weird familiarity lingering. Cal forces himself on before the pause gets too noticeable.]

I should have some things that you'd be able to make use of. Just have to go through my salvage bins.

[heypartner]

Hey, kid.

[ There is some weirdness but Cobb pushed right through it. ]

As long as everything's clean and it can handle being cooked over a fire that's all I'm lookin' for.

[out_of_order]

I'll do some testing on that. You know, Tony's good at working with metal. I think he'd be able to do a lot more by way of reshaping things if they need to be refined for what you're going for.

[heypartner]

I just need some sharp metal rods that folks can slide meat and vegetables on. Should be long enough for them to hold the food over the fire without gettin' burned. It doesn't need to be fancy.

He's not an Engineer? I thought this message would reach him. Damn.

[out_of_order]

I think I get what you're talking about. Yeah, that should be doable.

Tony? No- he's been communications for as long as I can remember, actually.

[heypartner]

Thanks, kid. Just message me when they're done and I'll come pick 'em up. And I'll owe you. Favor for a favor.

Guess I should read those lists of folks before I make these messages.

[out_of_order]

All right, sounds good. Will do.

It's not a big deal. I can see why you'd figure him an engineer. He does know his way around machinery.

[heypartner]

He does. I've seen him work with junk. He's clearly comfortable around machines.

[out_of_order]

He is. But he's made pretty good use of the communications point. And it hasn't stopped him from working on things in the forge.

[heypartner]

Maybe I'll just go see him then. Bothering him in person is usually more fun and it's easier to keep his attention.

[out_of_order]

That's always a valid option.

Ain't all that hard to rig up. I brought my tool kit with me an got a small cutting torch should suit so long as the steel ain't too thick

We got a whole scrap yard of fallen ships. I can scour that for parts. Probably an assembly there we can use, an some old shielding that will work for a grate.

[heypartner]

I need something that I can just put over a fire that's mostly flat and does not have oil soaked into the metal. Ruins the taste of the food when you cook on that.

Other than that, I don't need anything fancy.

[cardsyouredealt]

I'll hit the scrap yard and see what I can get ya, get it clean up and let ya know.

[heypartner]

Thank you kindly, ma'am. I appreciate the help. If I can do anything in return, just ask.

Favor for a favor.

[heypartner]

No idea. Jon hasn't said where the party is.
