So, asking for a friend: let's say someone was a falsely accused war criminal wanted on an intergalactic level back at home. Would he have any reason to worry about showing his face here?

Just trying to be clear on the rules here. For my buddy.

[look]

Sure. I'm just saying. Make sure your buddy doesn't go on the record associating himself with the words "wanted on an international level". That's a start.

[cargobay]

*intergalactic

And sure. That's why I asked for him. :-)

[look]

Intergalactic implies "across multiple galaxies". That's quite a reputation.

[cargobay]

Oh, is that what that word means?

[look]

It's not exactly a distance I've ever had to think about quantifiably before. Exciting mostly in the realm of the speculative.

[cargobay]

Then I take it this is your first time off Earth? That's cute.

[look]

That's patronizing.

[cargobay]

Just a little bit. Gotta be a big adjustment.

[ as if it's not for you too, you toolbag. ]

[look]

We're not in space.

[cargobay]

Fifty credits say we're not on Earth, either.

[look]

No bet. Not just because your money (?) is no good here. Guess I just figured this place was more... metaphysical.

[cargobay]

I could see why you'd think that, but I dunno. Hard to tell one way or the other.

And yeah, creds are money. What century are you in?

[look]

21st. Still using the good old United States dollar bill.

[cargobay]

Crazy. Handled a shipment with a bunch of old money in it once. Not really worth much to anyone but collectors where I'm from.

[look]

So you work in shipping?

[cargobay]

You could certainly say that, yeah. Just the very selective sort.

[look]

The kind that deals in classic currencies.
