[ the video starts abruptly on the exasperated face of a man in his mid-twenties. ]

Okay, so, look: I hate to make an introduction here by going "hey, I'm Axton, I need some help," but.

[ he pans the camera over to an enormous sabre turret that seems to be somehow droopy on one side. there's part of a panel missing, and a person with a keen eye might notice that some of the metal is actually slightly warped.

axton will sigh from behind his phone. ]

If anyone has some usable tools, or is just some kind of like - mechanical genius, I'm willing to work out some kinda deal. I just can't leave her looking like this, guys: it's breaking my heart.

Knowledge in weapons and how to repair them came with being in the military, including turrets. So yes, have worked on something like that.

[voice]

[attagirl]

[ he gives a quiet grunt of acknowledgment, pausing to consider that. ]

Huh. Neat. I was military, too.

[voice]

[circumitus]

Figured you probably were.

[She has a way of being able to know her own.]

[voice]

[attagirl]

That's either a compliment or an insult.

[ his tone of voice implies that he hasn't quite... figured out which it is just yet. ]

[voice]

[circumitus]

Wouldn't it be an insult if you were insulted?

[Considering that she's in the same shoes, bro?]

[voice]

[attagirl]

Yeah, but what does it mean "you figured"?

[ ARE YOU CALLING HIM A MEATHEAD or something is that it...

or it could be the military-grade weapon at your disposal, axton. that one is a pretty valid clue. ]

[voice]

[circumitus]

It's just in the look.

Plus, would hope that you're military or something of the sort if you're going to be handling a turret like that. Don't see that many civvies with those.

[That would be a bingo.]

[voice]

[attagirl]

Well. Former private military, but you make a pretty good point, I guess.

[ he's kind of laughing now, just at how absurd this whole situation is. ]

So you've got some tools?

[voice]

[circumitus]

Am former as well.

[Technically. Since she's giving this whole "living for herself" a try.]

Yes, have some, and there are probably more in the shop. Can be pretty handy dealing with metal as well.

Gotta guy from Hyperion who's gonna take a look at it. Not super convinced he's gonna know what he's doing, but since it's technology from our world, I'm gonna give him a shot. I guess.

[ he exhales a low sigh, like he's still not sure this is a great idea. ]

Might be callin' on you to help fix the inevitable mess, though.

[voice]

[circumitus]

If he understands the tech, that's probably for the best.

[Though she also isn't convinced that that's guaranteed competence. But hey, who knows. People are full of surprises.]

Offer still stands if he fucks it up.

[voice]

[attagirl]

Appreciate it. Don't think I got your name, though.

[voice]

[circumitus]

[This seems to be a common theme with Rey, who isn't prone to being the one to introduce herself first.]

It's Rey. [She caught his name earlier, so no need to ask right there.]

[voice]

[attagirl]

Cool name. I'll see you around probably, then.

[voice]

[circumitus]

["Is it?" she wants to say, because no one's ever really complimented her name before. But she feels like now is a good time as any to exit stage left out of the conversation.]

See you around.
