[heypartner]

Well, I don't know about you folks but now that we're back I'm done livin' on ships.

[ A slightly ironic statement to make since Cobb is clearly sitting outside the hangar. ]

So, I'm doin' somethin' about it. I've told a few of you my plans but this is for everyone else that hasn't heard. I'm gonna move out of the First Breath and fix up a house. One somewhere I can pen up some glownies and start ranching them for food and wool. Then I'm gonna fix up the house next door and whoever wants it can have it.

And then move on to the next. And the next. If you want a house somewhere else from where I end up, I'd be willin' to help out there as well.

[ There's a good amount of determination in his tone. Cobb's very clearly done with being a spacer. Stupid pipes everywhere on the First Breath. ]

If you wanna help out, I'd appreciate that but you don't have to. I took that Engineering data point so I understand how to do the work. I could try and teach folks who don't know construction but wanna help. I got tools and figure I'll salvage what I can from houses that aren't worth saving.

We got the bare bones of a town here. Might as well make an effort to build something from it.

Please advise me where you wish to begin your work. You will want a section where I have determined the power grid is stable, and the ground is not likely to sink, as has occurred over portions of the city. There are a few sections I have previously evaluated as suitable for more focused habitation, however no one has seemed interested in restoration efforts on this level before.

I also know several sites that will serve as good sources for salvage, including for the wiring that the Agrii city uses to tap into the power grid. Larger constructions or renovations could cause problems depending on water needs, but it's simple to handle.

[What, Reeve has been waiting for a LONG TIME for someone else to see the value to all of this.]

I have some plans sketched up at the TRC Office if you're interested in some ideas.

[heypartner]

The what office? There are offices here?

[ He doesn't sound excited having to go through an office. Governments just get in the way of good work. ]

Look, I need somewhere I can have land for the glownies. That's my starting point. We need them for wool and food. Ain't no way around it. I don't even care about electricity. I can live without a lot of comforts.

Just good houses, stable land, and space. You got a place in mind that fits that description and I'll check it out.

[plate_builder]

There is an office. The Temba Restoration Coordination office. The only building I have been able to overhaul single-handedly. There is no obligation, but I believe it could be useful to have the assistance of an experienced architect, do you not? Nothing needs to be fancy, but being certain that the location chosen isn't likely to fall into the ground would be useful.

[Yes, the glownies.]

It was my understanding that the Glownies were being actively kept and tended to were being done so in the farm area? The long building near the greenhouse. There was a herd there I believe. Perhaps they were displaced by the spider attack. If you wished to continue to use that area and didn't mind a commute, there are some old stores that have previously been used for conversion to living space. If you bring up your map on the communicator, they would be the areas in the pink quadrant behind the hotel.

[He's a city planner, and Reeve's been thinking about this for a while. But until now, there had been little to no expression of interest in this sort of restoration of the city for their comfort. Even suggestions of it had earned him an instance of being mocked. He knew he could do little to nothing to solve the storms, that wasn't what HE was here for. Reeve was a builder, a planner, a designer. It was about time he got to do that.]

It's been a while, but I used to help my dad back at the ranch, and help out around the colony. I could probably figure some of it out again if you need a hand and don't mind someone out of practice.

[There's a whistle from off screen.]

And BB-8 too.

[heypartner]

I'll take any help I can get. Skilled or unskilled. Figure some of this will have to be learned as we do it. You're welcome to pitch in. I don't know much about farming or ranching anything other than banthas.

[ And he doesn't know that much about banthas in the first place. ]

[happybeeps]

I'll see what I can remember. Maybe it'd be worth it for me to let go of the piloting data point for a bit too. See if I can't be a little more useful around this place.

More used to repairing ships, than buildings. [Or at least his ship back home. The ones here obviously are fixed.] But...willing to lend a hand.

[Not like there's much else to do in the city. There's a slight sound of consideration.]

If we can find or make some sort of cart. The blurrg could transport materials. [Or debris, whichever is needed.]

[heypartner]

I'm always happy to work with you again, partner.

[ He tips his head towards the camera with a playful smirk. ]

A cart isn't that hard. Should be able to make something that fits your beast if there's nothing just lying around.

[ A cart's just a mine car with wheels, right? Cobb's got experience with those. ]

[foundlingfather]

Looking forward to working with you again.

[His tone is light, and there might just be a slight smile there. It'll be nice to work with Cobb again, even if it's not fighting a dragon.]

It can pull a fairly sizeable cart. Big enough to carry a large pile of parts. From my ship. [Don't ask. Damn Jawas.]

[one large, blue eye fills the screen as Aeon speaks. her tone is light, not quite playful but bordering on it]

Things don't grow from the bones out.

[heypartner]

Scar tissue does.

[ Cobb doesn't care if what he builds is pretty. As long as it's functional. ]

[Clarice had just finished moving her own personal things to the hotel, and is perched on a cot as she looks down at her phone, sweat beaded on her brow and her ponytail starting to come loose]

Count me in, Marshall. [she winks] Even if you've just got me cuttin' down trees or diggin' holes for fenceposts.

[heypartner]

We can cut down the trees? What happens when we run out?

[ Wood is incredibly expensive where he's from. The trees are a precious resource not to be touched in his mind. ]

Once I find a place I'll have a better idea of what I need help with.

[out_of_order]

I've had the engineering point for most of the time since I've been here. If you need any specific parts by way of technical equipment or the like, I've got a salvage workshop up in the northwestern part of the city.

I haven't really done a whole lot of construction work. Most of my work's been with scrapping old starships. But if you need a hand with anything I'm willing to try.

[heypartner]

Not sure what we'll need until I figure out where I'm startin' this little project but I'll keep you in mind.

Given those skills I might call on you when I start tearing down places for supplies. I've done a little salvaging but mostly it was scrounging parts from junk yards and fixin' them up. Never a full tear down of a place. Wanna save as much as we can and that's done better with skilled hands.

[Padme holds the communicator in one hand since the other arm is occupied by a sleeping baby. She smiles at Cobb, giving him a nod.]

I think that all sounds like an excellent plan. Fixing the buildings seems like an excellent place to start.

[heypartner]

[ He lowers his voice to a gentle rumble so he doesn't disturb the sleeping baby. ]

You and the little ones got a place? Could fix you up something first. And one for that other kid I've seen runnin' around.

[From the way the camera is angled, it looks like he's standing it up against something on the desk he's sitting at. And he's finally wearing something other than his tac vest and green fatigues, having found an approximation of a graphic t-shirt on Coruscant, with dark grey lettering in an unfamiliar script and a picture of what looked like an urfa kebab.]

I'm not an architect, but if you need a thermonuclear reactor built, I'm your man. Degrees in astrophysics, mechanical engineering, and quantum mechanics. And I know a thing or three about crystal powered devices, so that might come in handy. I'm sure power and control crystals here aren't terribly different from Ancient tech.

[heypartner]

Well. I don't need any of that. Got the Engineering in my head so I understand how the power grid works now. With that mechanical engineering, can you tear down things safely?

[ He does not know what quantum mechanics are but they don't sound useful right now. But if the guy's willing to help Cobb's going to find something for him to do. ]

( Sansa, too, has absolutely no desire to live out of the ship when she'd had a house on Agra before and intends to again. When she sees Cobb's message over the network about ranching glownies, she responds and offers her experiences. )

I kept them when I was here before and I had a small house with a pen of them. I'd prefer to do that again, though I'm alone with my son so it will take some help for me to work the animals. I can spin wool, though, and make clothes. If you'll help me, I'm happy to help you as well. My son needs a place to live that isn't a ship.

[heypartner]

You remember where that house was? I could go take a look for you and see what it needs to be fixed up. Can't imagine it's ruins by now. Unless you've been gone for a long time.

[ He only recognizes her as the other woman with a kid. He hasn't met her properly yet. ]

Cobb Vanth, miss. We'll fix up your place first since you've got the little one. Might take a bit to get the glownies penned up but that could come next.

Video - and backdated a little?

[ezra_of_lothal]

Clarice and I were kicking around the idea of the amphitheater as a place to hold town meetings. Maybe try to coordinate tasks and information a little better.

Master Kenobi's decided on...well, it's marked as 'museum' on the map. That little complex of buildings as a little temple, including some residences. Me, and him, Padme and the twins will be living there, at least, I think. Maybe, Cal, too.

And I'd be happy to help out with the herd! In general, in just about any way, but I can also...call them. Keep them calm.

[heypartner]

Well, sure, if folks wanna meet. It's as good a place as any. You and Starling figure out when you wanna hold this meeting?

[ He had thought about a meeting. But not everyone seemed interested in working together. Maybe that had changed. Lots of folks had responded to this. ]

Yeah, I heard about the temple. Good luck with that. If you folks need help I'll try to lend a hand when I can.

Maybe when I've got a place to herd them into. I'll be getting a few people for that.

[Video] Golly, so much late

[on_repeat]

Talk about determination.

[He chuckles, but he means it.]

I did say I wanted to help.

Welcome!

[heypartner]

You know how to fix houses? Or tear 'em down? I mean, even if you don't I'll take the help.

[ He gives Echo a considering look. ]

You ever have your own place? You should pick a house out.
