TADASHI HAMADA
Robotics major. Hiro's older brother. Works here and at the Midnight Hotel. Not allowed near anything on fire.
TOPH BEI FONG
Uses her metalbending to make custom metal parts and cut down on production time. She's awesome.
JIAN
Older Kedan woman with a prosthetic arm and experience at Stark Industries. Takes no shit, not even from teenage prodigies.
LIN
Chipper young Kedan smith fresh out of her apprenticeship. She's got a mean hammer swing and determination to match.
SHOU
Young kedan fella who's way too into the maths. Loves working register, doing books, inventory etc.

This month, with the heat wave, employees will be out making quite a few house calls to the homes of those kedan on the wealthier side who can afford air conditioning, whose overworked units will frequently break down and require repairs. There are also a couple of leftover rice cookers up for sale for the price of 50 juulans apiece.

Three former Stark Industries employees are now also employed at the shop, and Hiro's taking advantage of their smithing knowledge to build a forge in the scrapyard and learn how to use it.

There are also several spaces available for tech and mechanic-minded individuals to set up shop, should the hotel's workshops be too crowded or should anyone need a change of scenery for a while.

INSERT CATCHY JINGLE THAT TADASHI HAS TO SING

Wrench in the Works is your friendly neighborhood junk shop located in the Sky Sector, started by Robert Callaghan and the Hamada brothers and born off the back of Robert and Hiro's small repair business in Keeliai. Now with a physical location, the shop specializes in what it says on the tin: salvage, mainly from the black market and occasionally the mines, and repair of any electronic or mechanical items Foreigners or Kedan might need tending to. The signs out front come in three language: English, Japanese, and Kedanese (thanks to Deoreo, rest his poor, vanished soul). If you don't read any of these, you're just SOL, but that's okay - local Kedan will be happy to help you out and point you in the right direction.

Customers can bring in broken or damaged items for repairs or tune-up, or come in if they just need a little technical advice on how to operate their devices. Additionally, employees will make house calls for things like large appliances, i.e. air conditioning or refrigerators usually found in Metal Sector or the wealthier parts of the city.

Parts and items salvaged from the black market and other parts of the turtle are brought into the shop to be repaired or broken down for scrap for other uses, and employees will sell whatever items they manage to create at a slight markup for profit. There is, additionally, a newly-built forge in the scrapyard out back where custom parts are made for the shop or to order, and Toph, with her metal-bending, can also create custom parts. If you need items like copper wire, replacement screws, or you want to buy a whole new rice cooker or a refurbished microwave, this is the place to go.

Additionally, if the hotel workshop spaces are full or if anybody just needs a change of pace, there are three workshop spaces available for a monthly rent where those technically-minded individuals can set up shop. They are also permitted to sell any of their creations in the shop, and the shop takes a 30% cut of the profits.

For the time being, you can also buy baked goods and treats at the front register.
