[ is there callisto-supplied lube?? if not, ichiban will pause for a sec before realizing he can also create things in this simulation— either way, once he's properly equipped, he'll look over the diagram in front of callisto before moving to the model and... oiling those areas up. ]
[ If Ichiban wants a can, he manifests a can in this sim, right? Upon correct lubing, the piano plays a somber tune... It's incomplete, as if missing its other half, but it's a job well done sign. ]
You oiled the correct spots.
[ How well did Ichiban use the lube? Did he use just the right amount? Too little? Too much? Second appraisal. ]
[ YEAH... THAT IS WHAT HE DID... also he's not a guy who does this regularly, so let's just say he did an Okay job. definitely not a great one! but it'll do. he erred on the side of too much than not enough, enthusiasm gives him bonus points, right............ ]
There is some oil waste, but you did not go over by a large margin. Too much can stray a shot, possibly straight at the ship if the arm swings too fast. Too little and the friction could cause damage to the equipment, worst case scenario we won't be able to clear debris and the ship's hull will take damage.
... We will be reviewing everyone's work until you are all on par, but I suppose that doesn't matter if all of you will return home as soon as you can.
[ There's a feeling that they'd prefer if you all got lost, actually. ]
During downtime when we are not making our deliveries, the ship may need maintenance. Not all the time, but once in a while.
Lemme rephrase that—you need us here, at least for now, right? I didn't really see much in the way of extra hands before you and the other seven showed up.

[ !!! and they will see a mechanical arm manifest. It is creaky, creaky, showing that in it trying to turn and it making a sharp sound. ]

So I'm supposed to... lube this thing up?
[ don't gotta say it like that ]

[ Callisto doesn't think it sounds weird? They seem very serious about it.
They'll simulate a digital panel screen that shows the areas that need LUBE on this simulated model. ]
These are the target areas.

Is Ichiban... Oiling it up with his bare hands...? Tell me how this is going because Callisto is definitely watching. ]

[ Scary, but they see the enthusiasm. ]
You pass, Callsign Number1HERO. For now.

[ ALL PRESSURE, ACTUALLY. ]
So, how does this play into us being here? We're, what, a space clean-up crew?

Do you or do you not want us here?

[ Why should they want people who don't want to be here? Isn't it easier that way? ]
