Unless you were doing some pretty hefty mechanical work back in the Republic it's unlikely you or even the other mechanics here would have come across that particular problem. [Ben tried to reassure Poe somewhat awkwardly.] Only reason I happen to know about it is because I might have "borrowed" an T-85 from a Bothan who was being a real sleemo.
['Borrowed' was a pretty...generous term. He'd hijacked the Bothan's X-Wing and methodically taken the complicated piece of machinery down to it's frame just the prove a point before calling in an anonymous type letting the New Republic know where they could find their missing fighter. It hadn't been long after Ben had fled from Luke's academy and the young man had been full of piss and vinegar and ready to prove a point...any point. He wasn't particularly proud of that event but really? The son of a Hutt had it coming. Not only had he maligned everything his uncle, father and the rest of the people who'd flown against the second Death Star had done but he'd personally insulted his mother.]
We'll figure something out. [He clapped a heavy hand on Poe's shoulder and squeezed it briefly.] It's good you figured out something was wrong now rather than in the middle of a battle.
