BACKDATED: Egret 17-20
Who: SXT-2 and open
What: SXT-2 is dealing with her issues with some good ol' delinquency.
Where: Stores cabin and Sleeper 5A
When: BACKDATED to just after mission 1, Egret 17-20
Warning: Possibly mild wound descriptions?
Stores L2
[Occasionally, about a few hours every day or so, there is a rattling and rustling on the second floor of the Stores carriage. SXT-2, with battered feathers poking out of her orange team sweater, has wedged herself in the highest corner possible and stays there making unhappy chirping noises. The issue is most obvious in the illogically organic parts that's taken root in her head and back- chunks of the plumage is gone and the gaps are shedding powdery debris. She's been dinged up from the previous mission, basically, and unlike other things she doesn't have a way to naturally repair damage.
She would also much rather have stayed in the system with its decent network and is a little unhappy about being herded back here, but that's secondary. Either way, SXT-2 is dealing with her issues with some good old delinquency- so she's holing up here, and carefully scratching out a part of the train wall for parts. Whatever upholstery or metal panels she loosens, she slides into the damaged parts of her feathers- seeming to act on some half-formed preening instinct.]
Sleeper 5A
[This exact same thing happens in Cabin 5A. In fact she usually moves to the stores after the others kick her out of 5A, presumably. It can’t be easy to relax with a monster-under-the-bed situation.... but over the bed. ]

There are no licensed technicians on this train. Licensing doesn't even appear to be a thing here.
no subject
And you're... not allowed to have anyone look at you, without that license, right?
[She just wants to be sure on this one.]
Not sure how people would be implementing licensing procedures on a train, anyhow.

[A vague preening instinct seems to push through her robot-ing at this point, and SXT-2 begins to paw at her feathered body parts as she continues. While her synthetic hands are probably marred with dings and scratches as well, she only really has a sense to tend to her semi-organic parts- adjusting vaguely the feathers and the shards of material that she’s stuck in there like some sort of splint or scaffold.]
To clarify, are you using “allowed” as a loaded word? I’m not entirely clear on the inflection. Essentially, humans who are not marked as technicians are not marked as technicians.
no subject
Nita's not going to say that, though.]
Not intentionally, anyway.
So, without that option, you''d prefer being left alone here for now?
[It's not quite fully inflected as a question.]
no subject
.... is that a question? Yes, I agree with that statement. Most people state otherwise.
no subject
That's their problem.
[But, while she's not entirely content with not being able to help, she'll leave SXT-2 alone if that's the best option here.]
Good luck, ah, restructuring?, then. Or-
[Nita nods back up at the area with broken metal.]
Whatever that was.

Just fumbling over phrasing. 'Good luck' wouldn't mean all that much to you by itself, I'm pretty sure.
we can end here if you'd like
That works! Thank you for the thread.
See you around, then.
