Drake's Apartment - 26th Street - San Francisco | Afternoon
Shiori stopped as she looked at Drake. At first she looked at him with a large smile, the same kind of smile she gives him whenever she sees him for the first time every single day. However the smile faded as she nodded at Drake's request.
"... Sure... one cola..." She said as she continued into the kitchen, opening the fridge she got out a can of Coca Cola, and a pitcher of ice cold tea. Shiori then closed the fridge as she set the pitcher of tea, and the can of Cola on the counter next to the fridge. Getting out a few cups from a cabinet above she poured herself some tea before putting the pitcher of tea back in the fridge. Now that she has something to drink she needs to think of what she wishes to do for food... maybe Drake has something planned for dinner? She will have to ask him. She then took the unopened can of Cola, and her cup of tea she walked back into the living room. Once she got into the living room she sat on the couch and handed Drake his requested can of cola. "Drake I have a question. What are we going to do about dinner tonight?"

Ethan patiently waited as the girl tidied herself up, and after a couple of seconds, she asked him a question.
"I'm the one that called earlier about the internship. Do you know where your manager is? I would like to speak to them about it.", Ethan calmly said to Nitro.

"Well you're speaking to one right now." Nitro answered Ethan. Was she really telling the truth? She looked too young to be even an engineer, much less the owner of the shop. Closer observation further contradicted what Nitro said. Nitro was a head and a half shorter than Ethan, and she didn't seem like she had the strength to be able to lift heavy objects: something every engineer should be able to do. Sure, she looked lean and fit, but will she able to lift a 100 lb appliances up and down a three-story building? "So, internship, huh? Do you have your resume with you?"

Ethan couldn't help but be confused by Nitro's answer, but he didn't say anything in the off-chance she was telling the truth. To think that she was the manager of the store... To be honest, Ethan didn't know what to think. If anything, he thought that it was best if he did as she said.
"Yes. Here it is.", Ethan said as he pulled off his backpack and unzipped the largest pocket of it.
After that, he pulled out a manila folder and handed it to Nitro.

Nitro began reading the resume Ethan has given her. Even though it was just an employer reading a potential employee's resume, something felt weird, especially since Nitro, the employer, looked several years younger than Ethan, the employee. She didn't even look like an engineer, to be honest, but looks aren't everything.
"So you attended John Marshall High School for 2 years, but transferred to University High School of Engineering and Technology and graduated from it... and you're attending UC Berkeley right now." Nitro read through the resume. "And it says you were a member of robotics club for the entire 4 years of high school? Have you made anything? Hovercraft? Maybe your own robot?"

As Nitro read Ethan's resume, Ethan shifted his gaze to some of the machines in the shop. From what Ethan could see, it was a relatively normal shop. There was what you would usually find in an electronics store; televisions, kitchen appliances, computers, a chainsaw hanging on one of the walls with a couple of tools. The store had a little bit of everything, and if Ethan didn't know ahead of time from reading about the store, he wouldn't have guessed that this was a repair store. Just then, Ethan's attention was caught by Nitro's question, prompting Ethan to shift his gaze back over to her.
"Yes. I made a robot that was able to search for and identify particular items, then retrieve them and bring it back to a person. I've made a couple machines that were able to wirelessly interface with various electronics, and a robot that could navigate through an obstacle course that was subject to constant changes. There was also another robot that I made.. well, it wasn't really a robot. It was a drive system for an exo-suit.", Ethan said, giving Nitro a quick summary of some of the machines he had made in the past.

"Impressive." Nitro nodded, half-doubtful but otherwise intrigued. She tossed the manilla folder along with a bunch of other paperworks on a dining table and said: "I guess you're hired... you seem to have a lot more experience than others who applied for the job. We'll do a three-week internship to see what you can do, and then we'll discuss whether you're properly hired or not."

"Okay.", Ethan said with a slight nod, accepting Nitro's terms.
Ethan might not have shown it, but he was happy that he was accepted. That meant that Ethan could move on to the next phase of his plan; giving his phone the ability to hack into electronic devices. Thanks to Ethan's past experience with making machines capable of wirelessly interfacing with other electronics, he had the know-how to do so. It was all just a simple matter of altering the hardware of his phone and installing the hacking program onto it. He had already gathered the hardware, and when the phone was done, it would be capable of performing as effectively as a 4 year old desktop computer. As for the hacking program, Ethan felt that he spent those months in the hospital wisely. Setting up the programming for the phone in the hospital were months well spent. After that, he would just need to install the program onto the phone, then go to his college for the next phase of his plan.
"So, is that everything?", Ethan asked Nitro shortly after accepting her terms.

"Yeah I think that's about it." Nitro said as she looked at the clock. It said 5:40. "I was going to close the shop early and go to this new club..."
Then an idea sparked through Nitro's head. "Hey... actually... I do have the first job for you."

"Yes? What's the first job?", Ethan asked Nitro, ready for the task she would entrust him with.
Perhaps she wanted him to clean up some of the tools, maybe rearrange something, what you would expect in a shop. Whatever it was, Ethan was ready to finish the task.
