[ there's a young woman dressed in what looks like some kind of uniform, hair tied into two buns behind her head. She's muttering to herself -- but she has already started the feed, perhaps before she's ready. ]

Alright, Tico, here goes nothing -- 

[ Her face falls slightly ] 

Oh, it's already recording. Can I start again? 

[ No? Well, this is kind of awkward. ] 

Hi, I'm Rose. Tico. Rose Tico. I've been here a few days now and just wanted to introduce myself. So I am. Hi. 

So I was thinking of taking up some work while I was here. I'm a mechanic -- I spent a lot of time working on star ships, things of that nature. But I'm good at fixing other things, too. Payment can be discussed once the job is done.

[ With an awkward wave and a smile, she cuts the feed. ]

That kind of depends on the ship. Starfighter, like an x-wing? That's the main fighter we use... powered by twin ion drives.

As for range of travel, jumps through hyperspace can take you across the galaxy if you calculate it properly. 'Course, you can also wind up crashing through the atmosphere a distant planet or another ship, if you're not careful.

Starfighters, even? [Well that adds some interesting context to it all. Not just transports, but weapons. How exciting!]

What a fantastic way to go about it! I'm sure the concern is less about fuel consumed and more about not dying of old age in the process of getting where you're going, but surely there are efficiencies involved?

[The talk of hyperspace-related disaster just seems to thrill him all the more.]

Such risks! I'd presume you've devices capable of the necessary calculations, as well, given the rest of that... ahh, all of this, it's theoretical at best, where I'm from. If not entirely inconceivable. Forgive my excitement!
