[ JOB LISTING ] Tech Support
[ DIFFICULTY LEVEL ] gaia_star gaia_star gaia_star

[ TASK ]
As one of our clever ponies at the tech Stable, your job is to fix customer's technology and troubleshoot it while making as much money as possible, making sure to fit and maintain our monitoring implants and software in the process.

[ MECHANICS ]
Roll 1d6 twice, each roll is half the day.
You must obtain two successes to pass the day and collect your prize

  1. - The hardware you are brought is a complete mess, it's screen is cracked in a way you can't replace, it simply won't boot correctly or it has been in some sort of terrible sticky accident. All you can do is commemorate its memory and send the customer over to your colleague on the shop floor, losing your commission in the process. FAIL
  2. - The fix is easy, the customer isn't very tech savvy and had simply tripped a background setting without meaning to, you can fix it in five minutes but those five minutes cost them dearly. SUCCESS
  3. - Somehow this customer has managed to break the monitoring process on their device, taking them off of the collective data grid, this has in essence bricked their tech, they bring it to you, you easily reinstall the spyware and they are on their way. SUCCESS
  4. - Some piece of hardware needs replaced, it is easily done but you tell them it will take 24 hours and charge them incredible prices for the part they need. SUCCESS
  5. - The customer wants nothing more than to talk to you about the store, the products, the CEO and everything else and none of your social hints to go away seem to work on them, delaying you in your work for half the morning FAIL
  6. - The hardware is outdated but somehow you get it running again, Tyr stops by and offers the customer a discount on an upgrade to a more modern product which they take and end up spending a great deal more than they meant to that day on in-store financing. SUCCESS

Having successfully defended the Embassy, Vania was a little riled up, so her idea was to do a job that would help wind her down in a highly efficient manner.

Doing technical things was on that list of possibilities.

Receiving a sheet of paper detailing what she needed to do, Vania got right to work.

Her first job took no time at all. She looked at the piece and smiled, telling the customer that their piece of hardware needed replaced... which was easily done, but she kept that bit of information back.

"It'll take twenty-four hours for this."

"I need it faster than that."

Vania looked at it for a moment. It was fairly simple, but... she had a job to do. And that meant getting more money.

"I can rush it, but it'll cost you an arm and a leg." Her grin covered her face. "Not literally, of course."

The customer sighed, but agreed to pay, and was out the door in three hours.

Vania was overjoyed. That was half of her day done.

The second half was fairly uneventful as well, with the hardware quitting. Vania managed to get it running again, when Tyr stopped by and helped a customer upgrade with a discount, earning more money than if they'd had just fixed what they came in to originally do.

The in-store financing was the most costly part, but at least it covered a good majority of things.

Glancing up at the time, the clock told her that her shift was over, and she smiled as she packed up what little she had, collected her pay, and went on her merry way.

It was a nice, kind of relaxing day. Perfect after a good day's fight.
