[ 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of your social hints to go away seem to work on them, delaying you in your work for half the morning - The hardware is outdated but somehow you get it running again, Tyr stops by and offers the customer a discount on an upgrade to a more modern product which they take and end up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.

Thias wasn’t entirely sure how good he was going to be at fixing anything technology based, in fact he was pretty sure the only reason he had a phone was because Rook had told him he needed to find him. So far he had been lucky enough to not do something stupid such as dropping it in the toilet or cracking the screen. He at least put on his best pleasant smile as the first customer to spot him free came over needing help with something Thias wasn’t sure was exactly a computer or something that needed to possibly be put out of its misery. After a half hour of swearing he managed to get the device working again before Tyr came over noting the rather old dinosaur and offering a discount if the customer purchased something more century friendly. For the rest of the morning Thias helped them pick something out that they could use and at the right price they had wanted.

Apparently it was the day for decrepit old machinery as the next customer made a beeline to Thias dropping the rather dusty beast down in front of him saying how it only made a few noises before cutting off agian. Sighing, he plugged it in and after about an hour of various things the device finally cut on again with minimal noise and interruption. Which really, there was no reason considering a moment later Tyr offered the customer the same discount as the previous one. The rest of his day of course was spent following the customer around and helping them to choose the best thing for them to use for their business. Thias gave the customer a grim smile as they left and he turned in his badge finally being done for the day.
