While I might not be the best at holding up a casual conversation, I'd like to think that I was pretty decent at holding one if it actually related to a topic that I actually cared about. Granted, those topics were kind of few and far in between with how niche some of my interests were, I could always just steer the conversation around to my favor using blunt shamelessness and a combination of confidence and brute force. As much as the world wanted anyone to believe otherwise, most people are introverts in one way shape or form.
Hell, I was one too. I just had the unenviable experience of losing my ability to care about what I said to people.
So here I was, asking random people around the port for any reputable mechanic that could fix a [Rig] of our size. I didn't say that it was Imperial business, of course. That was just common sense.
