[ arya stark. staring at a panel on one of the floors of the massive engineering complex with a direwolf and a droid for company. ]

We need people to work engineering.
It is the part that keeps the ship running and all of us alive.
So it is really important. [ just in case that part wasn't abundantly clear. ]
Everyone who wants to help ought talk to me or Carolyn 008 » 022.
Give us your name and experience and we will assign you a task from there.

[ next to her, r2 beeps sadly. she cannot even pretend to smile. she takes a breath and adds one last question. ]

The last time this happened how many of the ones sleeping were gone at the next jump?

LOCKED mairon
i need a job at the forge

LOCKED fili
[ after speaking to mairon, another filter goes up. ]

I am writing this for a friend who seeks work in the forge. He is a great blacksmith. He has things he has made he can show if you want to see them.

LOCKED gendry
[ for him she makes the change to audio. ] Still alive?

[ ...it's a legit question. ]

[lordof]

do you mean you wish to work here, or that you would like to ask a task of me?

[wolfchild]

i have a friend who wants to work there

[ working herself further into debt with mairon since the eighteenth jump. ]

Text.

[avengeful]

I'll help wherever I can, til people wake up.

[Hi Arya I'm not dead I'm still around I totally haven't been mostly hiding no ma'am.]

[wolfchild]

[ ...you ]

can you come down then
i can use the help i am not as tall as you [ she taps in the number of the floor she's at. it's a trap. ]

[mathematically]

Lydia. No practical experience, but I mostly know how these things work. Carolyn can vouch for me.

Not very many, if any, I think. It's been a while since I thought about it.

[wolfchild]

[ better than nothing, though she keeps that thought to herself. she is seriously attempting to recruit help without antagonizing anyone in the process. it may prove the biggest challenge she has ever undertaken. ]

What parts are you familiar with?

[ the answer to her question she simply lets by without comment. ]

[needsheadphones]

rebecca and i'm an engineer at home and an inventor and do a lot of computer stuff!

[ specific. also, somehow distressingly enthusiastic despite the fact that it's text. ]

haven't been in space before but i'm totally free to learn. and really i'm going to learn anyway so i might as well be useful while i'm at it.

[wolfchild]

[ gods be good, how is this creature real. ]

That is good.
Can you come down today so that we might meet?

[suddenlycaptain]

[ 'sup she's just gonna stand with you and stare at her comm and the responses.

hi. ]

action;

[wolfchild]

What do you think?

[ about their volunteers, about the situation, about the entire shitty jump. she taps lydia's message. ]

That one says you know her.

voice;

[wolfdreamer]

If you show me what to do, then I will help you.

[xoxo no texting little brothers arya use your words]

[wolfchild]

[ arya stares at the comm like. little brother, can you not see she is trying to hide her age from these people to put-off the judging. ]

and permalocked. he win this round because he's sad B(

[wolfchild]

[ in fact she looks at her comm for a while as if that will magically make the sounds morph into text. when it doesn't, she heaves a heavy sigh and switches. ]

You don't have to. I already told Carolyn you can work in the shuttle bay without me. You don't need me anymore.

[klutziness]

I can definitely lend a hand.

[which she should have done AGES AGO]

[wolfchild]

Who are you?

[endureandsurvive]

[A short list of things Joel won't like: this.]

i can help but u'll have 2 show me what 2 do

text, 25% encryption;

[wolfchild]

i have to show everyone what to do
i am the only one left here

text;

[parallels]

I'm new here but I'll help as best I can.

What needs to be done?

text;

[wolfchild]

A little of everything.
Maintenance mostly.
Make sure all systems are online and working.
Repairs when they are needed.

(TEXT | ENCRYPTED)

[eidetics]

I'll work wherever you need me.

Is your family all accounted for?

(TEXT | ENCRYPTED)

[wolfchild]

[ the direct question about her family has her clutching the comm in a white-knuckled grip. she has to take several deep breaths before she can type. ]

three awake counting me
Jon + Bran + me

[thebreakingwave]

I usually work flight crew, but I can lend a hand.

text;

[wolfchild]

What is your name

[ she knows the names of the flight crew members and can even attach a face to most of them. numbers are harder. ]

text ☞

[heterogamete]

We may be of some assistance.

text ☞

[wolfchild]

Your names please?

text

[theswordofthejedi]

I can help out. Jaina Solo. I've been working on ships since I was big enough to pick up a tool. Even rebuilt a ship recently by reverse engineering foreign tech. If you need help, I'm willing.

[wolfchild]

[ solo... ]

You know Han?

[wolfinthesnow]

Not as many as you may think.

permalocked.

[wolfchild]

[ so not all of them then? she bites back the bitterness. it is hard trying not to seem utterly hopeless in front of bran. but there's a reason arya asked him to stay with them for this jump that has little to do with his well-being. else she would have insisted on it months ago.

instead, when she switches to audio, the subject is very different. ]

—Gendry is here.

[ there is no inflection to her voice. no hint as to how she feels. it's easy to imagine her face just as expressionless. she has worn it enough. ]

[bullshead]

[ . . . ]

Yeah.

[wolfchild]

What are you doing?

[ it's chill. they're chill. amicable exes up in here. totes chill. ]

text;

[longestnose]

I don't see why not, lass.

Always can use another few hands in the forge, and if you count him a friend, he must be something.

[You get protected by Thranduil, Fili is liable to trust you.]

Glad to see you feeling better.

text;

[wolfchild]

Thank you Master Dwarf. [ you can thank mairon for the styling. ]
His name is Gendry.
I can take him there if you want to meet him.

[altercate]

Took them one jump to wake up last time.

text, auggielocked;

[wolfchild]

i heard
how many of yours are sleeping

text.

[chambermaid]

I did not know you worked with the engineering. [ this is not bad grammar, she just doesn't quite get what engineering is. it's after her time.]

text.

[wolfchild]

[ it's okay it's after arya's too. thus why this situation is hilarious. ]

Only one left this jump.
