"Win? You're a [i]harborman[/i], now. Your prize is...more work!" Corrine said teasingly, giving him a playful nudge. She gently lifted the blender base and turned it around, appreciating his handiwork rather than inspecting it. "You sure weren't kidding, though. Definitely can handle yer tools."

"Thanks", Steve replied, "bit smaller than what I usually work on, but I managed." 


"I watched you work. It's nice to see someone else who just...hm." She paused, feeling awkward. "Who just gets it." Corrine smiled, shyly. "Lots'a folk can use a tool but don't really care for the job. You know?" She rubbed her knuckles, wincing slightly as she did so. "You tinker with those...ah...terminals, an' such? Robots?" Her mind was running with dozens of things she'd never seen run as she babbled excitedly. "Oh! Those lifts in big buildings, those...elevators? Found all sorts of 'em, never tried to use one let alone fix it. Or what about, like, a...conveyor belt?"

"Terminals?", Steve replied", "I know a bit about that....Regina's electronics still worked...most of the time...so I got some hands on with that. As far as robots, it would depend on what's the matter with it....didn't get much opportunity to program them." He rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "But elevators and conveyor belts? I could probably puzzle it out...is there a particular place you have in mind? A factory or something?"  

"Speaking of terminals", Steve said, "I have recently come into possession of an old Pip-Pad 3500 that won't power up...if you could help me figure out a way to repair it, I'd be suitably grateful"

While talking to Corrine, he heard someone running outside along the front of the shop. A moment later a man's head popped in the open door to look. The man regarded him suspicously until he looked around and saw Corrine, then his expression brightened.  

"Corrine!", the man exclaimed, "Been looking for you all over town! Doc Wright sent me to fetch you...he wants you to come down to the dock right now, he says it's important!"
