Danny Jacobs: Lab Tech

Quotes 

• Lab Tech : Good morning, L52. Everything okay?

  Dr. Penn Pershing : Yes, thank you. But this, uh, equipment I'm archiving, it's all coded to be destroyed.

  Lab Tech : [looking over his shoulder]  Looks like it.

  Dr. Penn Pershing : But it's all still perfectly good.

  Lab Tech : It's Imperial technology.

  Dr. Penn Pershing : Yes, but they can still be put to good use. If I can have access to the equipment, I'd be happy to demonstrate how...

  Lab Tech : Can I be honest with you? We are really behind here. Not only do we have the Imperial disposal yards to inventory, but we're still decommissioning the Alliance fleet. I'm sure you understand.

  Dr. Penn Pershing : I just think I could be helpful if I could...

  Lab Tech : It would require authorization from the department. You could submit a C-1023 request, but I've never seen someone from the Amnesty Program make one of those. I'd have to check if that's even possible.

  Dr. Penn Pershing : It's fine. Forget I asked.

  Lab Tech : I'm sorry, L52. I know it's not easy, but I assure you this is truly helping the New Republic.

• Lab Tech : Good morning, L52. Happy Benduday. Another set for archival.

  Dr. Penn Pershing : Good morning.

  Lab Tech : Oh, I saw your talk last night. Really interesting stuff.

  Dr. Penn Pershing : Oh. Thank you.

  Lab Tech : Yeah, I had no idea you were so experienced. Wonder why they have you down here?

  Dr. Penn Pershing : I'm happy to do whatever is asked of me.
