Fortunately, it isn't long before Scaramouche runs across the guy who literally has "fixes robots" as a superpower.

In fact, that's what he's doing right now. Normally the Anchorbots handle their own maintenance, but occasionally one will flag Qubit down to request some minor fix or other so it doesn't have to go all the way to a repair station. It's a bit of a nuisance, but if it's something quick he'll usually oblige them. They do ask nicely, after all.

And that's how he ended up performing ad hoc robot surgery in the middle of the bar. The robot (not the bartending one, sorry to say) is laid out facedown on a table, its back panel removed, while Qubit works on it with a screwdriver; a small handful of screws jingles pleasantly as he drops them into a highball glass.

Just as he reaches the offending component, though, he hears a familiar voice - unforgettable, really, for better or worse - and who should come traipsing in but Scaramouche. Qubit visibly double-takes when he spots him, and watches him quizzically, resting the hand with the screwdriver on his hip. Honestly, he'd figured the guy got Ported out months ago. He's not necessarily upset about his return, but - well, it's not like he shed any tears over his absence, either.

"Huh," he says, and that about sums it up. "Scaramouche. Can't say I expected to run into you today."
