[ Amos looks over at Abel when he speaks up again, blinking in surprise. For him, space is such a standard part of everyday life, it's kinda boring. He can remember a time when it had seemed unattainable, but that's so far in the past now that it's easy to forget most people have never been up there.

And now Abel's reminding him of just that. He doesn't move as his new friend scoots in closer, and once the surprise passes, Amos looks almost amused at the barrage he's now facing. Hell of a turnaround from before, but yeah, he's game. ]

I'm a mechanic. [ Easy to start with something simple. His voice is a casual drawl as he goes through everything he's been asked. ] Make sure the ship doesn't break, fix it when it does, that kinda thing. Uh... Been to Mars once or twice. Was one of the first people on Ilus, [ and there's a bit of pride in his voice at that, before immediately souring, ] except that went to shit pretty quick. But yeah. Ilus was the first planet not in our system to get colonized. Though I think technically I was there more as a peacekeeper.

[ It's strange, thinking of himself that way, but under Cap... yeah, he was, wasn't he. ]

Teeth? Uh... with paste and a brush? [ Wait, shit, do they have toothpaste here? Fuck. ] As long as you're under thrust gravity and got a sink it's just normal. You make time for that.
