[ 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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
- The hardware is outdated but somehow you get it running again, Tyr stops by and offers the customer a discount on an upgrade to a more modern product which they take and end up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.

The odd thing about this job was that being efficient did not seem to be the most important thing. Customers were being charged for taking up her time, and so the more time she took while working on their devices, the more money she made for the company. Of course, more money was what the company needed, and so her orders were clear. It didn't make it easier on her, though, not really, to ignore that itch to solve the problem as quickly as possible. The first real customer of the day thus was a challenge all their own.
It was such a simple fix, she could tell just by looking at it, but the company owner had been clear. Ellaren pasted on an apologetic smile and looked up from the device to the man who had brought it to her. "I can fix this for you, but it will take time." Five minutes tops, once she had the replacement part, and she was sure there was one waiting and ready. "I will need twenty four hours to order the part and install it." She wrote down the part and its price (multiplied several times) and slid the bill across to them. "If you'll settle the bill now, it will be ready for you by tomorrow."
They left, understandably miffed at the price they'd been required to pay, and Ellaren had quickly repaired their device before taking another customer. This one had an actual challenge. The software was severely outdated, even she could tell, but with a little time she was finally able to get it working. She needn't have bothered. Tyr swept in and talked the customer into buying an all new set up, and though discounts dropped easily, the price of the thing stacked higher and higher. Shaking her head in amusement despite herself, she pushed the device to the side.
Her work for the day was done, she supposed.
