[Starting a barroom brawl and spending a night in jail is not really helpful when you're hunting for a job. Uhura's been trying to hunt down a job her way, but no hits. It seems she made the mistake of causing trouble in a bar owned by someone popular.

So now she's trying it Chekov's way.]

So it turns out there's not much market here for linguists, and a friend told me I should try my luck posting on the network.

I'm fluent in half a dozen languages, specialize in computer programming, and if all else fails [with a bit of a laugh] I make a mean Cardassian Sunrise.


[ooc: Feel free to recognize Uhura from the bar fight (and it's not too late to jump in)! The poking of fun is highly encouraged.]

Oh, that's fine. You'll be better at it than me, anyway... the only thing I know to do when something isn't working is turn it off and start it up again. That or hit it.

This is really dumb, but I don't really know what kind of languages are most common in the City? I mean, English is pretty standard, and then I've been told that a lot of people speak Japanese.

[What are these words you are using?]

Mostly what languages now?

Oh--yeah, mostly. There could be some others, but I wouldn't know about them.

...I'm not doing a very good job of selling this job, am I?

Then this sounds like it could work!

I'm Penny. I can't pay you top dollar, but I'll do what I can.

You too, Nyota. Thank you for taking this on... it'll be a pretty relaxed job, I promise.
