[Ogre] ogre mechanics

I don't think there'd be any problem getting Ogre mechanics walking up to an Ogre. Think about working on aircraft - you have mechanics standing near running jet engines almost unimaginatively loud and able to suck you up in a heartbeat with no problem. Good mechanics tend to become very possessive of the items in their care. While there would be exceptions, I don't think it would be a common problem. How often do you hear of animal haters joining a K9 outfit or becoming a vet? And with sentient Ogres, I think you'd be approaching a medic/patient relationship more than a "you target - me mincemeat" approach.

I think I've snipped this correctly.
