Saw the Sterling 'failure' pulling an all-nighter at a dumpster-fire garage again.
Noticed someone tinkering with a beat-up turbine engine in that derelict shop off Sapphire District. The guy was covered in grease, looking absolutely exhausted, but he wouldn't stop until the calibration was perfect. It’s definitely that Sterling sophomore. People keep calling him a spoiled brat who burns through his family's credit, but I watched him pick apart an injector nozzle with more surgical precision than any mechanic I’ve seen. Then he just sat there in the dark, silent as a grave, staring at the wall. Is he actually a gearhead genius, or just losing it?
If he’s so smart, why the act? It’s all a front for attention, obviously.
Reply to HighSociety_Watcher： Maybe because he doesn't want pity.
Wait, is that a custom fuel intake he’s holding? That’s not standard academy tech.
Reply to GearShift_Grrl： It’s custom-modded. Only a lunatic would try to overclock a turbine like that.
Who even is he really?
He’s there every Tuesday night. Usually alone.
His family is military royalty. Why would he be in that neighborhood?
I tried to talk to him once at a shop. He just told me to mind my own business in the most sarcastic tone ever.
He sleeps through every single flight lecture. I thought he didn't care about anything.
That’s . Everyone in the high-society circles keeps saying he’s just a playboy mess, but I’ve heard rumors about him building bikes that can outrun the Federation patrol drones.
