[It's taken a few months but Q has finally run out of things to toy and tinker with. He's attempted to hack his communicator to no end, he's wiped his laptop twice already and tetris can only keep him occupied for so long. As such, he needs some more hardware, particularly if he wants to make any discoveries about the ship, and he's forced to make a public post to ask for it. Armed with social shyness under the pretence of security, he's decided to write a text post. At least that way he has enough time to carefully consider what he says before he submits it to the world.

Hello everyone. My name's Charlie and I work in communications. I'm a bit of a hobbyist in regards to technology, though on the Tranquility I'm a little short on supplies. I feel a tad uncomfortable attempting to pull the ship apart. [That and he's already tried.] So I was wondering if anyone had any spare communicators or technology from back home which they don't need which they might be able to lend me. I don't mind if it's broken or functioning incorrectly. If it had a battery or wires in it at some point, I probably want it.

Although it's not much, in return I can offer one of these which I have made:

[He inserts a clip of a handmade version of a piggy cook, though it's definitely more of a robot than a pig. It's crafted out of odd bits of metal and cutlery, with a shirt made out of a bedsheet. Presentation has never quite been Q's forte.]

They aren't particularly beautiful, though the mechanics are good and I thought they might provide some form of novelty.

If I lend you something, would you be willing to keep me updated on how it's coming along?

[ because, she might have a broken pasiv in her possession still. and she really would like to see it working again. ]

[There's some hesitation but if he can get him something...]

Of course! Might I ask what you have?

[ how to answer that without sounding bizarre. ]

It's just a device from back home that my friends and I use to play around with. Nothing special. But it means a lot to me and it would be nice to see it working again.

[Mission failed, Ariadne.]

A gaming console of some variety? I could definitely take a look at it.

[ oh my gosh, why didn't she just think of calling it that before ]

Something like that, yeah. I could probably run it over to you before the next jump, if that would work?

That would be great. I'm looking forward to it!

text no worries <3

You know. You're awfully trusting of someone who you don't even know. It's not a bad thing.
It's just. In the off chance that I was some crazy space killer with a weapon that needed repair, you really didn't seem all too concerned with much.

I'm not a crazy space killer of course. And I don't have a weapon. It's just an honest observation.

Don't worry. That's not one of my concerns. If someone gives me a weapon, I'll know.
