Description[]
Quote "What can I say, I like taking things apart to see how they tick. Nothin' like fixing or building something with your own hands."
The Operator is a super-mechanic and repairman. A mechanical and electrical whiz-kid who can fix just about anything that has gears and wires. As such, they are always a welcome sight in any community and are treated with respect and admiration. An Operator rarely has to pay for his own meals or a bed to lie on. Of course, the proprietor or town council may have some little repair job that they’d like him to do for a reasonable fee. There are no set fees for a particular job, so the fee and currency changes from place to place. Repairing an irrigation system at a wealthy town may mean 30,000 in credits, at a poor town payment may be a hot meal, a broken-down horse, and some basic supplies.
