TECH

A 'Tech' is a highly skilled Technician whose personal characteristics and temperament are oriented toward operating, maintaining, repairing, and even constructing various types of equipment and devices. He is far more than your run of the mill mechanic or electrician, as he possesses technical training equivalent to the best technical institutes and engineering colleges of today can provide, and more. In a sense, a Tech is a combination of the theoretician and the practical 'mechanic.' He is not an 'Engineer,' however. He can repair and modify most 'simple' devices; but complex suits will sometimes be beyond his considerable skills, requiring detailed instructions from manuals and Engineers for involved modification or serious repairs. He cannot create new and advanced designs, or even do more than copy construction plans drafted by others with more knowledge, but he can build whatever he is competent to work with if he has the requisite direction and materials. The advantage enjoyed by Techs lies in their specific skills and their high general, mechanical, and electrical aptitudes, making them indispensible personnel in virtually any future business, industry, or government service.
