004 -- video.

[kutte]

Got a couple of requests.

[ his cut is stripped off and draped across his lap, one desert eagle resting atop it. jax is in his faded white "reaper crew" t-shirt and shoulder holsters. he's sitting tipped back in the chair. his boots are resting on the edge, not that it's within frame. ]

Anyone with some technical know-how wanna swing by the gunnery? See, we been doing what we can on these fucking turrets and consoles, but there's some shit that's beyond us. A bunch of them are too fried to work, and that's a problem, assuming the shit that goes bump in the night comes at us from the outside. Back home, we get a second opinion before ripping out the guts and starting over, so anyone thinks they can shed some light on the situation, I'll owe you one.

[ it's not as detailed a description as it could be, but as far as jax is concerned there's only so many ways to say "fucked beyond comprehension" before getting redundant. he tugs at the strap of one holster, pausing like he's letting that sink in. ]

I also gotta ask, anyone up here capable of tattooing? It's not like I've seen any place capable of it since we made our last stop. Am I reaching here?

[ probably, but a man's gotta ask. ]

Hey, Hyperion. I gotta talk to you too. You got a minute any time soon?

[ Well. Caprica hesitates. She chose a different path, but-- ]

the technology is not incompatible with the kind from my world
i can take a look

[kutte]

I'd appreciate the look-in. You mind if I stick close while you do? I could use the pointers.

I could give the turrets a poke. Not making any promises, but I've dealt with some high tech stuff in the past. [ You have to know some basics of repair if you're gonna fly solo through the cosmos. Those things stick after a while. ]

Can't help with the tattooing. Mind if I ask what you're considering, though?

[kutte]

I've been up here long enough to know there's no promises with this shit. I'll take whatever I can get. It's better to try something than letting them sit useless.

[ and jax can't leave well enough alone, so. ]

One of my kid's names. Thomas.

[ it's much more complicated than just baby names, but. ]

[nightblogs]

yeah man
whats up?

private.

[kutte]

You got free time coming up?

[lostkings]

If you end up needing a second opinion..

[kutte]

It's not like I'd say no. We got plenty of busted shit here that needs looking at.

[sleuthtastic]

[ Wistfully: ]

You know, I've always wanted a prison tat.

[kutte]

Trade me some cigarettes and I'll try my hand at giving you one. Can't promise on the results though.

[consequence]

[Considering everything else she's happened on since the jump, it's a nice thing to see that Jax is still Jax.]

You aren't considering safety pins and ball point ink -- are you?

[kutte]

Things aren't that desperate yet. Worst comes to worst, I figure I can wait till we pull in somewhere, whenever the fuck that is. It felt like the right time.

[chuffle]

Are you looking for a new tattoo, sweetheart?

[kutte]

That's the idea. Assuming I find someone for it.

anon

[endureandsurvive]

tattoos :O

get some skulls

who could this mysterious anon be!!

[kutte]

Alright got one. You don't think another'd be too much?

[trouvaille]

Let me know if anybody takes you up on the tattoo thing.

[kutte]

You looking for a piece of that too?

[puppydogeyes]

Told you I've got a gun.

[kutte]

Yeah, but I figure you'd just tattoo "jackass" somewhere on me if I let you get close with it.

( voice. )

[overthought]

Did you manage to find someone or could I take a look at it?

[kutte]

I got a couple interested parties, but like hell am I turning anyone away. It's enough of a mess up here, I need all the hands I can get.

locked.

[mindtricks]

If you get people to look over the hardware, let me know? I'd like to be there.

locked.

[kutte]

Right now I've got three. Maybe four, I can sweet talk this admiral into helping. Dunno how much good it's going to do, what I've been hearing.

Pretend I posted this like a week ago like I meant to?

[oldmanhusker]

I hear you want to talk to me.

[You know what he doesn't like? Using the network. But Laura insisted.]

OF COURSE clambers onto it

[kutte]

I've been asking around, yeah. I've been told you're a goddamn handbook when it comes to shit like this. That true?
