About this listen

Bethanie is joined by friend of the show Katherine and Of Slippers and Spindles Host Cassie to discuss the Stars Above short story The Mechanic.

Summary

Kai’s android, Nansi, holds state’s secrets and cannot be entrusted to just anyone to fix, but when the royal mechanics are unable to fix her, Kai seeks out the best mechanic in New Beijing. While under disguise, Prince Kaito sneaks into the market to visit the renowned mechanic Lihn Cinder. Kai is surprised to find that the mechanic isn’t an old man, as he had assumed, but a beautiful girl his own age.

Kai is instantly charmed by her lack of swooning (que the I’m not like other girls <3) and intrigued by her other projects, including a tiny cyborg foot. When Cinder promises to fix Nansi, Kai realizes he will have to leave the android behind, but it also gives him an excuse to visit the young mechanic again.
