Mech Pilot who demands everything they operate needs to be refitted with a standard transmission. Even the ejection seat.

the mechanic placed her hands on her hips and quirked an eyebrow in disbelief, "you want to do what to your mech?"

"Manual transmission."

"I heard that part. I'm just— trying to wrap my head around why. Our unit flies the most advanced mechs to ever grace this side of the milky way. Why do you want a downgrade?"

The pilot puffed out her cheeks as she blew out a breath, "it's not a downgrade. It's just, you know, a different way of piloting. I happen to like it."

"You want me to make unauthorized changes to your mech because you like it?"

"Yes."

"No. I'm not doing it."

"Please?" The pilot asked, trying to get her eyes as wide and doey.

The mechanic rolled her eyes, "not unless you can come up with a better reason than you just like it."

"Well! It's a better connection between me and the mech. I get a better feel for how she moves, what she needs while I've got a hand on the stick."

"You're still describing it in terms of feelings. I need something empirical to put on the maintenance report."

"Really? Shoot"

"Yup. Last chance before I walk away."

"Uh," the pilot said, stalling for time, "I have ADHD."

"Well yeah. Anyone who spends five minutes with you could diagnose that."

"The stick shift helps me concentrate. Automatic transmission, my mind wanders while I'm piloting. It's dangerous! Stick shift keeps my mind occupied! Eyes on the road!"

The mechanic was silent. Lips pursed. "Fine. But you owe me dinner, too."

"Yes! Thank you! Can you add a shifter to the ejection seat, too?"

The mechanic pinched the bridge of their nose in frustration. "Fine. Two dinners, though. No, five."

"Deal!"
