You are an IT professional working in the most infamous sector of the business: Help Desk. The challenges are great, the pay is small, but your resume just isn't long enough to get anything else in your calling.

An inborn intuition, an almost supernatural ability to operate, comprehend, and repair the electronic devices that make everything work.
