sharpshooters Lines and coffee. Connections with chars from the post I made yesterday that I haven't responded to because I lost track of it like a winner.
Paladin III's mechanic as a serious rival. Someone please dislike this guy, a ton. Bonus if he/she fills the juicy drama mech line for backlash for extra awkward. A mechanic trajectory cadet apprenticing for work credit, for your traditional scattered mentor + harried student trope. The rest of gossipmongering's Mean Girls buzzfeed squad. The PhysEd teacher doubling as a PT for all the instructors and current pilots coming apart at the seams. A medical professional he can quietly confer with, over the slightly pressing issue of engineering a fix for Paladins eating pilot life force like the Ark in Indiana Jones.
