Jobs for Poor People

Cormaunt Hempkamp did not stick his neck out too much in the initial months.

Though he was ecstatic about gaining access to his own research lab where he could tinker with any neural interfaces without too many restrictions, he still had to work his way into the regular structure of the Design Department.

At first, his contributions to the ongoing design projects were fairly basic but helpful.

He did not attempt to push any of his quirky neural interface models that he had designed in the past.

Instead, he served as a consultant that accessed the MTA's secret catalog and selected the most appropriate neural interface models for every mech design.

Whether the mech designs in questions were alive, light, heavy, ranged, melee, cheap, expensive, commercial or Larkinson-exclusive, the man was able to match them with neural interface models that always seemed more appropriate for the occasion.
