	Moss and Roy are two technicians shown as typical nerds. Though many employees have to contact them asking for help, they all disdain the two geeks. Roy is always irritated by the calls, which disturb him from the “real” work or a more interesting discussion. To prevent himself from asking the same question, he constructed an automatic recording system with standard questions and advice: “Have you tried turning it on and off again?” “Are you sure it is plugged in?” Roy’s friend Moss is very broad-minded and has such a profound knowledge in technical sciences that he always finds the right solution to the problem; though his explanations are too complicated for comprehension by the others.

	In series one Jen is a new member of the team and contrasts drastically with its male part. Though in her CV she wrote that she “has a great experience working with computers” she is absolutely lost in the technical side of the question. Since Denholm, the ~~chief~~ of the company, is equally incompetent, he is easily convinced by Jen during the interview so that he makes her the head of the department. Later the official title is changed to relationship manager underlining her attempts to build a bridge between her department and other colleagues. Nevertheless, she does not reach her aim and looks as ridiculous as her two co-workers.		In series one Jen is a new member of the team and contrasts drastically with its male part.

He lives with his mother and often visits dating websites. While having detailed knowledge of specialized technical subjects, including chemistry and electronic engineering, he is not keen on typical male topics as sports.
