"Hello? Hello?? I'm sorry, there's nobody home right now. [ obnoxious peal of laughter: go ]

Ahh, that's right! Leave a message, and I'll get back to you. Right? That's how it goes? Aha, no telemarketers, please!

If you run up my bill, I'll have to ask you to pay the extra costs.

fleet ?

the most beautiful merchant fleet this side of the milky way

really ?

yes really
the stars as seen on deck are a view you cant get down here

i lived underground this is already cool

[ o m f ]

underground?
as in
underground underground?
under the ground?

[ P R O C E S S I N G ]

that sounds terrible

yeah its a shithole but its familiar and i know how it works

the sky is really cool tho i like it at night better its not so hot and bright and the moon is really cool it looks like it does in the movies

[ something in his chest twangs, like a string plucked and yanked and knotted up into a complicated little ball.

he can't even say why the sympathy's hitting him as hard as it is.

maybe he's just been in space too long. ]

do you like the stars
did you know when you look up at our sky that it's only the tiniest fraction of what's out there to see?
have you ever wanted to go up there?

they say one time we had telephone lines to the stars but it didnt work out space is kidstuff now only a special says they wanna be a astronaut i dont play pretend

phone lines
that's new

would you believe me if i said i've been

maybe i guess unless your being a asshole who lies to fucking kids like fucking trash

i've been to space badou
i was IN space before i came here
that fleet i mentioned isn't oceanic
they're ships build solely for traversing dead space every last one of them
i wouldn't lie about the stars

[he sounds serious; its rare enough to give Badou pause]

[he worries he's crazy, most days. he worries that everyone else is cray, too, when they say shit like "I'm a superhero back home" or "I used to be a wood elf"]

[but this seems different -- he still shies from asking about it for the most part, responding instead]

whats a black hole its a dying star right or is it like a space tunnel i never got that

they're pretty scary
it's a super dense mass wherein the gravity of it is so great that not even light can escape
that's why they call it a black hole
dying stars can cause them, yes
that space tunnel though
they call that a wormhole
it's not so much of a tunnel as it is a connection between two different points in spacetime

that sounds fake "diff points in spacetime" ur probably just a trekkie aint u

it's a theory, a real scientific and proven theory!
did you know there's no light in space? no sunlight reaches that far
we keep our own sustainable food source in rations or these tiny little plots of soil with uv lamps

what's a trekkie?

grow houses we got those too both kinds i mean a fucking loser w/ 2 much time on their hands who aint seen star wars obviously or theyd have better fucking opinions

[ what would the kid say if he ever mentioned he helped to blow up Dark Vader and his Raiho star... ]

yes, those! sometimes they're the only greenery and earth we'll see for months or years at a time

r u solo or kenobi?

cool if its true darth vadar

it is very true
one day you'll see them

so what does that make me

im going back underground a nameless wookie

come see my flagship first
then you can be a mole again

i think that suits me better
