RANK 1 • Water Damage: Your yimo got rather wet recently, either in the storm or during the recovery efforts, and now it's not working. At all. It's dead, Jim. When you go to the Opara Core for a replacement, every single person there is harried and looks exhausted, and there is a long line for replacement yimos. Apparently, you aren't the only one with a yimo brick, and they don't have enough staff or stock to meet the demand right now. You can try waiting for a few hours, or you could come back in a few weeks. • Slime Mold Invasion: One of the places your frequent, such as your home or job, is still damp from the storm, and a strange, seaweed-like mold has decided to take up residence on the walls. It's a bugger to get rid of, and in the meantime the place smells like a fish market.
RANK 2 • Cord Capture: Whether you're participating in Tine's Commemoration or simply passing by one of the knot-tying events, you trip and somehow end up improbably, ridiculously, comically tangled up in a length of cord. It's to the point that you can't actually walk or move your arms, you're so wrapped up. An engineer wants to study those unique knots, so you may have to wait a bit.
RANK 3 • Jury-Rigged: Repairs are ongoing at one of the places you frequent, but they're a little… improvised. With such a demand for engineers, carpenters, electricians, and more, someone has decided to take things into their own hands. The table does in fact function as a table, even if the joints look suspect. There are materials used in ways that they really oughtn't be all over the place. Nothing's caught on fire yet, you're assured. Everything is mostly working. Just be careful of splinters.
RANK 4 • Hydroponic Bounty: You must look like you enjoy plants, because a woman who oversees hydroponic farming and research has just recruited you to test one of her new in-home units. You can eat what you grow and even keep the setup as long as you give her occasional updates; she'll be disappointed if you say no, but she understands if you have a black thumb. • Power Up: Your residence or one of the places you frequent not only has power restored this month, but it's gotten some free upgrades to the wiring! That'll keep things more stable moving forward, not to mention safer in the case of any emergencies.
RANK 5 • Macgyver Miracle: Whether you're a complete tyro or an engineering expert, you definitely only have a vague idea of this piece of tech you've been tasked with working on. Somehow, using completely improbable parts and techniques, you finish the project. The Opara Core wants you to consult with them regularly now, and someone jokingly wishes you could donate your brain to science rather than go back to your homeworld.
