Han Yu looked up. "This is a generous mission."
Kun snorted softly. "Generous because no one wants it. Takes too long, too tedious. And the overseers there are… temperamental."
Han Yu nodded.
He had repaired similar systems before. Massive belt structures, dozens of synchronized formation arrays, scanning nodes that needed precise recalibration. A single misalignment could cascade into hours of troubleshooting.
"I'll take it," Han Yu said without hesitation.
Kun did not seem surprised. He rarely was when it came to Han Yu.
"Good," Kun said. "I'll mark it as assigned to you. Take care of it properly. That warehouse will be seeing increased use soon."
Han Yu's eyes flickered. "Increased use?"
Kun gave him a sideways glance. "Didn't hear it from me."
Han Yu inclined his head. "Understood."
Kun turned to leave, then paused. "Ju Fan."
Han Yu looked up again.
"You've been doing good work," Kun said. His tone was flat, but the words themselves were rare. "Don't get complacent."
