Entry
You see a few odd nuts and bolts or scraps of metal; a good techie sees a work of art. You press a button and the device just works; a techie knows why and how to make it work better. Techies are the sort to cut their teeth on tech by taking it apart and putting it back together. They open an electric panel and not only know how to shut off the power, but also send an elevator to a specific floor, reconnect alarm systems or control a military bot from a safe, remote distance. They're also needed wherever hardware meets soft – braindance editing being one common example.
Techies know it's not enough to have all the ones and zeroes in the right place; you need something to feed the code into. They can calibrate implants with ease, understand the pages and pages of minute specifications and use this knowledge to their advantage. Most people think they don't need a techie, that their once-a-month ripperdoc tuneups are more than enough. Then they've got their back against a wall, bombs are exploding next door, and pop! Something breaks. Suddenly a techie seems handy indeed.
