[Hello! There's a new face on the network and she seems both excited and timid and is tapping away at keys before looking up at the camera then down again and finally up one more time.]

H-hello there, I'm sure you all figure, but I'm new here a your Academy and am happy to say I'm excited to both learn alongside you as a student, and hopefully teach you some things as a teacher as well! I'll be teaching a branch of engineering while attending school and learning about this world!

I--

[She pauses for a second before her face reddens and she offers an awkward bow of her head.] Guess I got ahead of myself, f-forgot to introduce myself.

I'm Ronnae, Ronnae 'Mash Belore Ryllos. I come from Azeroth and I hope you'll have me here and that i can prove to be an asset as well.

So, I, well thank you!

How about the parking lot? You can't miss it. It's outside the dorms, just down the walk a bit.

Nice to meet you too!

Alright, see you there in a few!

Daisy was dressed for summer, which today meant a short skirt and T-shirt, and wheeled her damaged bike out to the parking lot. She'd fixed most of the bumps and dings herself, but she needed a bit of help with the inner workings. If this worked out, she could point Mona in Ronnae's direction. She waited patiently for the new girl to arrive.

Ronnae didn't take long. After all, working with machines was her passion, one of them, and soon enough she was walking through the parking lot with toolbox in tow.

Daisy waved her over eagerly when she arrived, a big smile on her face. "Hey, glad you could make it so quick! Well, here's my bike! It ran into a little trouble a while ago," she explained. "I was racing with my friend Mona through some biker festival or something, but then this tidal wave of bikers flew over us. We barely got out intact, but our bikes didn't fare as well."

She was being quite literal about the tidal wave of bikers.

"I don't know a lot about fixing bikes, just riding. So is there anything you can do?"

Ronnae didn't realize it was literal, but she smiled and nodded. "You know, it's always when you're just trying to relax that something goes crazy."

Leaning down, she took a look over the bike. It wasn't all too hard to get the gist of the model and the way everything went where it belonged and how it worked and soon enough she was looking up at Daisy with a bright and excited smile.

"I can get you back on it in no time!"

"Really? That's fantastic!" Daisy excitedly replied, clapping her hands together. "If you can get it up and running, you'll be my hero!"

Ronnae blushed heavily and chucled nervously. "S-sure, no problem. I'll have it up and running in a couple of hours if you don't mind me taking it with me to the shop?"

She paused, thinking that maybe you wouldn't trust someone with your bike who you just met, mechanic or not. "Y-you can come along t-too if you'd like!"

"That's no problem!" Daisy answered. "I mean, it's not like I can use it now, so I don't mind at all! And if you don't mind, I'd love to see you work! I'm really interested," she added eagerly.

"Oh, okay then, just this way." she added as she began to lift and carry the bike with her and then continued on towards the chop shop. It was a bit wierd if you came from a normal world to see a girl of her stature do this as if she was picking up an empty bag.

Daisy was definitely surprised to see that, and made it quite clear. "Wow... You're pretty strong! I didn't expect that, but that's really cool!"

Ronnae looked over her shoulder and smiled a bit awkwardly. "O-oh, thanks. C-comes with being a warrior and lots of training." And probably because you are also a half-orc.

"Yeah, I bet," Daisy replied, crossing her arms behind her head as they walked. She figured from the green skin that she wasn't completely human to begin with, but she wasn't about to make assumptions. "So you're a warrior and a mechanic?"

Ronnae smiled sheepishly as she walked and nodded, "Yup yup! I also do mining and smelting too. Kind of have to if I want to gather my own materials for my stuff."

"Wow, you're a jack of all trades? Er, jill of all trades I guess!" Daisy said. "I play a lot of sports, myself. You name it, I've dabbled in it!"

"Really? What kind of sports do they play here?" she wondered. Azeroth had its fair share of sports, but mostly involved competitions, or arenas, or wargames and the like.

"Well, I've played football, soccer, baseball, golf, volleyball, tennis, basketball, and I've played in some olympic sports too!" Daisy explained eagerly. "Oh, and I've done kart racing too!"

"All of those sound fun!" It was so wierd that a few of those she recognized from something similar back home.

"Maybe I could try some of those later on."

"Why not?" she asked. "It's a great chance to do it, now that you're here!"

"I guess you're right," Ronnae chuckled timidly as they reached the chop shop doors. Deftly holding the bike on one hand, she rummaged through her hoodie and procured the staff keys and opened the door. Offering Daisy the entry, she soon followed and set the bike down in the work area.

"Alright! Let's get this baby rolling." she voiced happily.

"Awesome!" Daisy exclaimed, hopping up to sit on an unused work bench to watch curiously. "So where do you start with something like this?" she asked, eager to see a master at work.

"Where do I start?" she looked back and grinned. "By taking it all apart! It's the best way to not only spot exactly what the problem is, but you can preemptively spot things that may cause future problems and you can improve them ahead of time."

Excited as she looked, she still wanted to make sure everything was okay. "I mean, if that's okay with you."

That sounded very extreme, but Ronnae was the expert. "It's okay with me, as long as you know how to put it back together again!" she replied.

"Of course," Ronnae looked back and winked. After all, now she was in her comfort zone and it didn't take long before she was expertly taking things apart, component by component with a big smile on her face.

Daisy winced a bit, but calmed herself by reminding herself that this was only the beginning of the process. Ronnae would find the problem, and put it back together again.

That didn't stop her from gripping the edge of the bench she sat on and watching the process anxiously.
