[why look who finally found her way on the network. Jane's sitting on a bar stool and twisting back and forth like a little kid. She grins.]

So. [Jane tilts her head back and knocks back something that could be booze or coffee in a shot glass and she's not saying] Who here wants to talk ship mechanics? Because I have got questions.

[Oh look a distraction. Things have started to settle enough that she can actually smile if she's talking about other topics.]

More or less my specialty.

[punch_it]

Then you are more or less my new best friend.

[And a super sunny sweet looking one too.] I'm Jane.

I'm Kaylee. I was a spaceship mechanic at home and now I work on Salvation.

[Which she is continuing to do, Mal.]

Starship captain. I swear I'm not as disgruntled and egotistical as most are.

[she cocks her head. a light sparking behind her too-blue eyes.]

And I have clearly hit pay dirt. It's sort of hard to find out what everyone has learned about that ship from it's AI.

Find most of 'em ain't so bad when ya get to know 'em anyway.

[At least to her.]

Me, Kaidan and Tony were workin' on her before we even got the AI runnin' again. Find it usually takes a few tries to get her answers down to human talk.

You ever talk to a Vulcan? They aren't much different.

[they like to think their answers are reasonable. they never are.]

Do you think this place can produce a burger and fries? I am starved and am unashamed to admit I'm desperately interested in picking your brain.

[wrench_and_ruffles]

Can't say I've met a Vulcan.

[None popped up in Mayfield or the pods here so far]

Reckon we can find somethin' burgerlike. Brain pickin' goes better with food.

[And she doesn't feel sick at the moment so this is the perfect time to eat]

[punch_it]

Awesome. Where can I find you now?

[wrench_and_ruffles]

I live about the repair shop on Billings Street. There's a restaurant not far from here.

[To the chipper ship's mechanic, add in one thirty something soldier with a bit of silver at his temples and amusement crinkling the corners of his eyes.]

If Kaylee doesn't fill you in on every last detail, I can probably try answering a few myself. I'm, uh, more spec ops than engineering normally, but I've had over a year to get used to the abnormal.

Kaidan Alenko. I'm out at the ship right now, but I'll be heading in to town in... well, in a few couple hours ship time. A lot less for outside of it, which I'm still trying to wrap my head around, even if Salvation's explained it.
