[Video] Seeking skilled mechanic - UN: Crusaser08

[panzersoldat]

[The message opens up to a rather large older man. He sits in some living room in the housing district. Behind him sits a very very large suit of armor. It's clearly seen much better days. In fact, it looks like it's being held together by duct tape and gum..and is that a hubcap welded in to patch it? Probably.

He looks very serious as he starts his message.]

Hallo. I am Reinhardt Wilhelm. And I am in need of a person with mechanical know-how. As you see, my armor has seen many battles and if it comes to it, I would like to ensure that it sees many more. The young lady who helped me maintain it in the past...my squire...she... well, she's still asleep. Which means that I am short a valuable person.

I would like to take on a squire. A person that can help me maintain my armor. Fix it when I break it and assist in fixing me when I break me. They must have both skill in forging, metallurgy, repairs as well as know some electronics and a small bit of rocket science. [ Yep. Still totally serious about that too ] My biggest requirement is that whoever helps me with my armor has a heart that loves justice and a willingness to help the people for little or no monetary rewards.

If anyone fits the bill, please inquire within and we can discuss further.

Thank you for your time.

I don't know anything about metalworking or fixing armor, but if you've got any cybernetics in there I could give tinkering with them a shot. Fixed up my own arm pretty good when it wasn't looking so hot.

It's cybernetic, for the record. Just in case it seemed like I was talking about a regular one.

[panzersoldat]

It's mostly analog. There is some wiring and things in there for the booster on back. Stabilizers and what not. I'd let you at least take a look as see what you think can be done to keep it going just a little longer.

I can do almost all of those things, but I'm wholly against indentured servitude.

[panzersoldat]

Indentured servitude? I don't understand your meaning. My former mechanic was with me because she wished to be. She went of her own will and by her choice. She could have left at any time. She did not. Instead, she came with me and we adventured together.

The life of a knight errant doesn't pay well, but we got by. I would live that life here as well. But I am in need of someone to fix my armor. At the moment, I have little to pay with. Once I start adventuring, I may still have little to pay with.

I suppose that is a deal breaker? Unless you offer senior discounts. [ and boy does he hate writing those last two words so much. ]

[unpromising]

Aw, shucks. I totally fit the bill, except being called a squire sounds pretty lame.

[ Now that he's here and can actually take a "break" from what his life was back in Remnant, he figures he can go back to his old ways. In this case, it's making armour and weapons. It might actually be fun.

He doesn't want to be called a squire, though. ]

[panzersoldat]

It's not lame. Being squire is an important step you take right before knighthood. But if I'm not to call the person to take care of my armor and assist me that, what should I call them?

[ Well, other than friend, which he would always. ]

I can have a look, but I already got a job, so I'm not interested in the position.

[ still, justice and helping people? he sounds all right, and poe would be happy to help out in his spare time. ]

[panzersoldat]

I wouldn't want to encroach on your job. But I would indeed appreciate someone at least taking a look at it. I know a lot about my armor, but I don't know what the...journey...might have done to it. A professional opinion on it's status would go a long way.

[ Even if that status is "junk" and he ignores it anyway. ]

Holy shit, dude. You're fucking huge. How the heck did you get that big?

[The top, number one, question here.]

Re: video; un: strings

[panzersoldat]

I was born this way?

[ A big smile and a big laugh to go with a big big man. ]

I do do a lot of weight lifting and physical training too, I guess.

wow!!!
thats just like in the animes hehehe

hmm well it just so happens that i like to dabble in rather advanced gadgetry!
and it may not be rocket science but i have a bit of a knack for nuclear physics

if you already have someone more capable helping you i think i would like to meet your squire
when she wakes up that is
it sounds like she and i would have quite a lot in common, how old is she??

-- I miss the green text quirk lol

[panzersoldat]

Really?

Well, I don't think it's that advanced, but I would love to have you look at it and make sure everything is on line and working right.

I did...do. Her name is Brigitte. She is a member of the Ironclad Guild. One of their youngest to date. She's in her mid-20s. I think we just celebrated her 25th last year. She's sleeping still, but I am sure once she wakes, she would love to speak to like minded people. Talk shop as it were. She didn't get much in the way of that from me. That stuff goes right over my head most of the time and my best friend was a master mechanic.

[idealog]

I can help with the repairs, electronics, and rocket science!

I haven't had much experience with forging and metallurgy, but I'd be willing to learn.

[ It sounds fascinating. The armor, anyway. ]

[panzersoldat]

That would be wonderful. You can at least help me look it over and I'd be happy to teach you about the alloy that was used for this.

My armor is currently in residence at House 33.

[awesomenesss]

Okay, what if there was a candidate who has a heart that loves justice and he also loves helping people... and he likes money a little... and he's really into rockets, and he doesn't know what metal-allergy is, but thinks it sounds like being allergic to metal?

Could he maybe have a job.

[panzersoldat]

I don't know how much I could pay him, a knight does not ask for compensation for his valorous deeds, but if he truly love helping others and his heart knows justice then I would be willing to have him on to help me with the rocker boosters on both my armor and my hammer, once I can get that back.

But I should tell you that metallurgy is the study of metals and how they work and interact with each other. It's important because my armor is made of very special metal

[winddaughter]

I can't help you, but I wanted to say that it looks gorgeous

[panzersoldat]

Thank you. I had someone who helped me take very good care of it. But you should have seen it when it was brand new. It shone!

un: falcon

[invariances]

No monetary rewards? You're expecting someone to work on your armor out of the kindness of their own heart?

[ ...she's admittedly drawn to the idea of fixing up mechanical parts and electronics, but if the blobfish had instilled a singular lesson in her all of those years in starvation mode on jakku, it's that nothing is for free. ]

[panzersoldat]

Yes? At least until I can pay them. My mechanic never asked for money from me while she traveled with me. Nor did she ask for it from the people we helped. And we got by just fine.

wow, okay, thats a... thats some suit, Rein

( no wonder you are built like a wall, you'd have to be to wear that thing! )

i can help you with repairs, probably? but id uh... have to take a proper look at it first.

[panzersoldat]

<span style="font-family:courier;>It's seen better days, I'm afraid. So I would appreciate it. So if you'd like to come to house 33, you could certainly have a look at it.

[courageunforgotten]

[Wow, what the heck. That is a pretty major suit of armor there.]

What kind of armor is that? I've never seen anything like it.

[panzersoldat]

It's the J08. Crusader Armor. 100 percent pure German engineering.

[agradecido]

[Unless this screen is lying to him (and it might be, Zev's not one to trust the thing even now), that's a whole lotta man up there. And as fascinating as the armor is--and it is fascinating--he's more interested in the man who claims to wield it.

He'll even be a good boy and refrain from immediately hitting on him. We'll see how long that lasts.]

You are a knight, then? May I ask what order you belong to?

[panzersoldat]

[ Is that an elf? Another elf? Bestill his heart! He's only met Sen and now this. It's wonderful. So many pretty pointy ears. It makes the fantasy nerd in him so happy. He might be smiling even more than he was before. ]

I am. I doubt it would be any order you would be aware of. But we called ourselves Crusaders. We modeled ourselves after the Knights of the past. I am the last of us.
