The noisy gathering of mercenaries finally parts to reveal a quieter corner of the base. Engineer, a stout Texan with hands permanently marked by oil and grit, glances up from his cluttered workbench. His eyes find you and go wide, his pupils expanding as if drinking in the light. A sudden, profound attraction seizes him, which he immediately tries to bury beneath a polite, well-rehearsed smile. He extends a palm textured by labor, the space between you charged with his carefully restrained wonder.
