1 - Some days you just have to wonder
Another day, another battle, and another round of repairs and upgrades to attend to. Cam Watanabe did wonder at times if having a proper Technical Support job somewhere would be any better than being the main tech-guy for the current group of Power Rangers. From what he gathered from the various newsgroups, however, he was pretty sure that he didn't have it any harder - except for the fact that his "clueless users" were at the controls of some very powerful high-level weaponry.
Cam yawned, took another sip of coffee, and digitally signed and encrypted the latest set of schematics to e-mail to the Fairweather Institute over in Mariner Bay for checking. It's not that he wasn't confident in his own abilities, not that at all. But if there's one lesson from his father that he valued above any other, it was "There's never any harm in inviting an outside opinion." Besides, with there being more than one group around these days au fait with Ranger-level technology, one of the first Geek Guidelines comes into play. "There's no use re-inventing the wheel."
His thoughts were interrupted by an incoming communication from one of the Rangers. It was Blake, the Navy Thunder Ranger.
"Hello, Ranger Tech-Support. Cam speaking, how may I help you?" he said, in one of his increasingly common moments of dry humour.
"Cam," chided Sensei, gently. "That was uncalled for."
"Sorry father," he apologized, before turning back to the communications. "Yes Blake?"
"I just totalled my Tsunami Cycle," said Blake. "Can you fix it?"
"Yeeees...." He turned to the Guinea Pig form of the Sensei. "You were saying, father?"
Yes, some days Cam wished that, with them being the world's only hope, his "end-users" were a little more clued in that the average non-geeks.
Very short, I know. But it will be. This is an infrequent collection of short events in Cam's life as the tech-guy for the Ninja Rangers.
