( 004; video ) ♔ ( haven's hub )

[pendragon]

[ Saber's face comes onto the link quite clearly. There's an extremely large wall behind her, which happens to be one of the sides of the Hub. ]

Greetings, all. As I was walking through the Junk Pile today, I came across something I immediately recognized.

[ The camera is then turned and focused on a motorcycle. It appears normal, but may look slightly unique to those with appreciation for motorcycles. It's dinged up in many places, but most of it seems to be aesthetic or nothing too serious.

After the motorcycle is on the screen for a few moments, the knight turns it back to her face. ]

Does anyone have the time and means to repair this for me? I'm certain I can offer goods or services in return. [ After all, she only spent her first few months in the junk pile, stocking the (back then) Rec Center. ] This would immensely help in my duty patrol in Vector Prime's quadrant.

[ Saber has been asked by Vector Prime to assist in patroling the eastern end of the Vectorian quadrant. It's not that difficult of a task as she can easily travel very quickly on foot, but her motorcycle would make it much more efficient. ]

[ The following is sent only to Knock Out. ] I first thought of you when I was imagining who I could ask. Would you be able and interested in repairing my motorcycle? [ They had even talked about it briefly not too long before.. ]

Oh neat, me me I can!

[He waves his hands kind of wildly]

I rebuilt something like that when I was like 8 years old. It'll be super nostalgic!

I think the motorcycle may already be spoken for in terms of being fixed. ..However, I'm honored to hear you wished to volunteer. ..If you don't mind, what other types of skills do you carry?

[ Someone who can fix machinery, the more standard kind, is quite useful to have. And now she can keep someone else in mind if she ever needs the Yamaha repaired. Perhaps the gentleman has more arsenal in his skill set that Saber can remember him for. ]

I'm called Saber. You are..?

[doctordon]

Uh... Oh, hm. Well, I'm Don. People call me Doc, but I guess you don't have to if you don't want to!

[He blinks, thinking about it for a second]

Well, other than being good with machinery - just the... non living ones of course - I'm a pretty good cook!! I guess I'm an OK fighter, too. Not that it means much when there's all these giant robots around. Anyway, if whoever claimed the motorcycle wants any help, I'm pretty free most of the time!

[pendragon]

You should perhaps contact Knock Out then; he will be the one repairing the motorcycle. However, you should expect that I may be contacting you in the future regarding it now that I know you have the skills to maintain it.

[ A heavy pause. ] You.. cook? By chance, would you have.. ah, say, professional experience with being a chef? There is an on going project at the moment to add a kitchen-styled eatery at the Atrium. I am currently in charge of it since I am running the storehouse that will be built, but I personally do not cook. It will be like a self-serve kitchen with space and appliances for many to use at once. The basic responsibilities would be overseeing it and ensuring.. it's not a mess. [ She's unable to help but show a momentary and humored grin. ] It wouldn't have to be you, but perhaps someday someone could offer lessons on how to cook for others who are new to the craft.

[doctordon]

Sure, if he doesn't mind me butting in! I'm usually pretty free a lot of the time.

[He looks around a little]

Well, um, I'm not a chef really, I'm more of a ship's cook. I have some pretty nice recipes, but nothing too complicated. Yeah, I could help people out and cook. I cook for Marvelous all the time anyway, so it's not that much of a different thing for me. But yeah, I'd love to help!

[pendragon]

[ Saber is unable to help but smile. Fantastic! ..Maybe she can learn to cook someday, too. ]

I will write you up for the position and give you more information when it's available. If you're wondering, the head of the project is Wing and he may be able to supply you with more information about the construction of the eatery itself. [ She pauses briefly. ] Ah yes, it still needs a name.

[doctordon]

[He smiles back, feeling pretty glad to be useful.]

Yeah? Great! I'll get in touch then, sounds like a plan. It's needs a name, huh? How about... um... [He looks a little shy] "The Galley"?

[pendragon]

"The Galley". I do not see why not. I'll pass that message on as well. Thank you for volunteering, Don! [ Saber is so glad to see someone who actually knows the craft of cooking wanting to take over the eatery. She'd be so clueless with anything in here.. ]

[doctordon]

Thank you! This'll be great!

[He looks like he's about to turn things off, but then he pauses]

Oh, just so you know, Captain Marvelous is kind of... my captain? So he's probably going to be hanging around. I don't know if anyone really knows him too well, but he can be a handful.

[pendragon]

I do know him, yes. As long as he doesn't prevent anyone else from using the eatery as they'd like, I see no harm in him accompanying you.

[ There's a polite nod with her words, as if Saber knows the conversation is about to end. She does smile briefly after nodding. ]
