The Scrapliners
If it's broken, they'll fix it. If it's fixed, they'll sing about it.
The Scrapliners are two brothers and two friends who grew up together in Lorville.
Jax and Rigg Rourke, Mek Lanner, and Jan Aroden spent years maintaining industrial equipment for Hurston Dynamics before taking what they knew and going independent.
They traded procedures for salvage, patched ships, questionable decisions, and considerably more laughter.

“If it doesn’t fly, we’ll fix it. If it’s fixed, we’ll sing about it.”

The Story
The four started with what they could afford: two patched-up Vultures and one battered Cutlass Black.
None of it was elegant. All of it worked.
Usually.
Long salvage runs gave them hours of repetitive work, and singing became another way to keep the rhythm. Jokes turned into choruses. Mechanical noise became percussion. Bad repairs became lyrics.
The My Mess songs grew directly from that life.
They are not songs about failure. They are songs about fixing what can be fixed, accepting what cannot, and loving imperfect machines anyway.
Madi Roa became part of the wider crew through logistics, field coordination, and occasional vocals, though she is not one of the four Scrapliners.
Nok first encountered them unloading their Cutlass on the Lorville cargo docks while singing, arguing, and laughing.
Nobody was performing.
They were simply having a good time together.
That was enough.
