So I've got a dilemma. One that I'm hoping that someone on the ship can help me with.

[Cue the flash of a charming, Harkness grin. C'mon, whoever you are, you know you wanna.]

I need something made for me. For a friend. And while I'm good at a lot of things - a lot of things [yes, Jack, please spare us the innuendo] - metalworking really isn't one of them. Give me an Arcateenian psychic melder or a W'narian battle cruiser any day, but metal arts - arts in general really - are a bit beyond me. Especially on as small a scale as I'm looking for.

Anyway, I've heard there are a few on board with the sort of skill that might be able to help me. I know that payment doesn't really work in any normal sort of way in this place, but I'm sure we'll be able to work something out.

[Way to be kind of cryptic, Jack. Hopefully it gets enough of the point across though.]
