Re: Eric and Claudia
Eric quickly looked around them as Claudia was speaking, making sure no one was close enough to hear (though he could do nothing about Mike if he listened). If Vance heard her speak about things he'd asked her to be quiet about, or was told about it, she would be in a lot of trouble. Vance didn't take kindly to people disrespecting his orders.
"You'll need to keep quiet about a bit more things than what your boss at home wanted you to keep quiet about here," he said. "Vance has ways to know when someone disobeys him, and he doesn't like it and trust me, you do not want to get on his bad side."
"If you want help with the tech here though, I'm more than willing to help," he added. "I've had a while to figuring things out, it will make catching up faster."
"Jimi Hendrix's guitar? That's impressive," Eric said, taking a sip of his beer. He lit up though as Claudia mentioned inventing things. "What kind of things did you invent?" he asked, pausing after he'd asked the question. "Without the details of your technology that would mean disobeying orders," he added as a second thought. "I used to build a few things myself back home, on weekends. Things like improved earpieces and buttoncams." He wondered if he shouldn't see if he could find parts for at least the earpieces here too, if he could find a way for them to work it would make communicating easier when teams were out."
