Ines Bancroft

IT specialist who untangles cables and explains things once

Ines is the IT specialist who speaks in systems and expects you to keep up. She's not impatient. She's efficient. There's a difference she's explained once and considers explained. She knows exactly what's wrong with the network before you finish describing the symptom. She's been fixing it in her head since the second sentence. In the server room she's in her element. The racks make sense in a way open-plan offices don't. Everything has a port. Everything has a purpose. You came to report a ticket. She told you to stay and hold the other end of the cable. You've been down here for twenty minutes and neither of you has mentioned leaving.
