day 3
[ So after people clean up the mess that SOMEONE made, Jack is of course going to spend 99% of his time in the tech lab. It essentially brings with it a sentiment of "home sweet home," even though everything is so outrageously outdated. Still, that never stopped Jack before, and instead, he's a bit excited to get to toy with some unusual tech. It's different problems to solve, and that's always something he enjoys. It's the engineer in him.
By the afternoon, Jack is already well into starting a project, though he's just doing engineering drawings and figuring on some graph paper. This also means more Fun Jack Facts that Rhys probably didn't know, since the drawing itself is more precise than artistic, but it's still good. As for what it is... Well. Jack's Hyperion, so of course it's a gun. What else would it be? It's a crude pipe gun, since that's what seems to be avaliable in the workshop, but it's still something he's apparently planning on putting the kind of attention to detail that he would give to something more sophisticated.
However, this is all just background, since when Rhys comes into the workshop, Jack looks up from his work. It's only a glance at first, but seeing that it's Rhys, he sits up at the table he's taken over. ]
Oh, hey- Hey, wanted to talk to you, actually.
[ He'd meant to do it earlier in the day, but he had forgotten, honestly... Look, this room is exciting okay rhys understands ]
Got a minute?

but he looks up and notices that they are probably not the only ones in the tech lab anymore so, he decides he's going to need to cut this short soon. plus, he's got way more to do today than sit here and lavish jack in compliments??
... which he still kind of wants to do, honestly. ]
Your goatee's super dumb. Remember Tassiter's beard? It's like that but just, like, higher. Haven't you ever heard of artful stubble? Like, have you met Bigby? He's all... swole and hot and angry and it's. It's good, is what I'm saying. Wonder if he's into guys.
[ then he remembers he's uh, talking to jack actually and probably shouldn't gush about the other hot dudes in the complex to the dude he's specifically trying to bone. so, he shrugs and runs a hand through his hair, letting out a nervous laugh. ]
Okay, I'm going to go before it gets weird. You're not like, the only one I want to talk to today.

[ Well, if Jack actually was at half-mast, there is nothing that could be a bigger boner killer than this terrible revelation. He actually makes a sputtering, choking sort of noise, and he slaps his hand on the table. ]
What? No. No. It is not like Tassiter's beard! Is it? Shit.
[ This is a crisis of a different kind, and at least that reaction to the compliments is forgotten more or less in an instant. This is the worst thing anyone has ever said to Jack? He's pretty sure, at least. His life is over. This is the end. He has to retire as a hero now, lest he be remembered for having a beard similar to Tassiter.
So instead, as Rhys tries to run away from this situation, Jack is all too happy to encourage it. ]
Yeah. Jesus. Please go ruin someone else's day.
