Hi mods! One general question and one job route question:

1. Technology, hacking, etc - I wanted to check in and get an idea of how much Johnny's knowledge from his homeworld would map onto the tech here. It seems like it's at similar levels on the surface, but I don't want to assume anything and know there would still be an adjustment period. I wanted to get your take on what kind of timeline the learning would be on and how familiar (or unfamiliar) it should be.

In case you aren't familiar with Killjoys, some of the tech Johnny's had access to: medical nanotechnology, VR that can be used to 'access' memory and subconscious thought, mental and emotional manipulation using tech (probably like, sound waves or something?? idk scifi), etc. He does a ton of hacking and is accustomed to systems that use AI in the more traditional sense; advanced and capable of self-defense and complex decisions, but still just fancy programs. Otherwise, space travel is common and they've got programs for genetic experimentation/cloning, terraforming, almost teleportation (they can break stuff down and store it, can't send it anywhere). He isn't familiar with all of it, especially the super advanced stuff, but just to give you an idea for world comparison.

2. And job paths, sort of depending on the above! He'd want to get into higher end thievery, both of goods and information. Assuming he is able to learn some things quickly or improvise convincingly, this would apply to fancy tech (maybe wetworks stuff), or hacking/accessing info for clients. I'm a-okay with this being a long con situation, either because he needs to study up on the tech or because he'd have to build up a reputation (or both). Mostly wondering if it's feasible and worth working towards.

Thank you!
