In every chapter there are at least 2-3 skill checks (sometimes much more depending on what you choose) and this is one of them. Typically you get a choice of three different skills to use, but you have to figure out from context what's checking what. Often (though not in this case), you're also choosing between different desired outcomes so you have to weigh up doing what you're good at vs. pursuing specific goals.

Like I said before, if you win you get some favourable outcome— in this case, it improves your level with the Colonist faction— and if you try and fail at something, you get a little bit better at. I won't be pointing all this out every time, but it's good to get clear about it at the start.

I'm going to guess that's taking a nozzle from something else.

I tried to play chess but two of my opponents were playing competitive checkers as a third person walked in with Game of Thrones in hand confused cause they thought this was the book club.

I'll put together a quick fix for now by using the nozzle from something else.
