Mech Pilot who is on the picket line right next to the actor who plays them in the movie.
They glanced furtively, first one then the other. But whenever their eyes met, they would both immediately break eye contact.
It only changed when the pilot took out a cigarette and couldn't find his matches. The actor offered their lighter.
"Thanks," the pilot nodded sheepishly, as politeness finally forced the issue.
The actor smiled, nodded, stepped from one foot to the other before blurting out, "I'm a huge fan!"
The pilot nearly choked on his cigarette, "WHAT."
Blushing, the actor nodded, "In all my research, the moves you pulled off were incredible. And the number of deadly missions you still extracted from. Did you really build a whole new suit when you got stranded on Triton?"
Scratching his neck, the pilot was at a loss, "I just kinda welded two half suits together, if that counts?"
"Still, I couldn't even imagine doing that myself."
"Well now I know you're lieing," the pilot smirked, warming into the conversation. Seeing the actor's concerned look, the pilot added, "I got the motivation to push through from watching you in Designated Survivor. It's my favourite movie!"
The pilot lifted his wrist, showing the branded watch. The actor was speechless as the pilot asked, "Could you sign it?"
The actor finally recovered, lifting his own wrist up as he answered, "Only if you'll sign mine too."
