Hey, Union. This is a bit of an odd request, but uh...is there anyone that needs help with something? Anything, really. I'm used to working in the mine so hard labor isn't a problem. Craftsmanship is doable too. This offer is going to stay open for as long as I'm here.


Action

[Fili is so. Bored. He's going to die of boredom. He paces back and forth, trying to occupy himself with anything he can. His hands are shaking; he needs to put them to use or he's going to go mad.

You can find him wandering and pacing the city aimlessly, trying to find something to do or someone to help.]

This made me spit out my drink, you are fab

[bornofstone]

What sort of tests are we talking...?

I live to serve

[schmott_guy]

Oh any number of things. Willing test subjects are always useful.

[bornofstone]

I think on this one I'm gonna need specifics before I agree.

[schmott_guy]

Direct neural interface for controlling machinery, psychotropic drugs, jet pack...You know. That kind of thing.

[bornofstone]

[Fili stares at him blankly.]

[schmott_guy]

[A below average intellect is good in an ideal test subject!]

It's all perfectly safe, I assure you.

[bornofstone]

[W o w excuse u]

Doesn't sound safe.

[schmott_guy]

Did you even know what any of that meant?

[bornofstone]

[Fili bristles slightly.] I'm a miner and a smith, not a scientist.

[schmott_guy]

There you go, then. Trust the expert.

[bornofstone]

If it isn't dangerous, I'll do it. I have a family to take care of.
