They barely pay you anything, and you need to burn half your fuel pods getting to the quadrant where they want to go."[/i] 👨‍✈️ [i]"Yeah, well, like I said, I was low on funds. Anyway, the quadrant was close by. But just before I dropped off my passengers, one of them told me that apparently, there's this old retired engineer who goes hopping around from planet to planet. And this retired engineer hates paying for his rides, so he offers to upgrade your ship's engine if you let him fly for free."[/i] 👩‍✈️ [i]"Ha! Passengers will say anything to get out of paying for a ride. You can't trust a single thing they say."[/i] *goto mental_note *label heir_talk 👨‍✈️ [i]"Hey, did you hear that a Heir has gone missing from one of the Central Families? Apparently, a gang of pirates from the outer planets kidnapped the Heir right from their palace."[/i] 👩‍✈️ [i]"Nonsense! Everyone knows those palaces are guarded better than military bases. The kid probably just ran off somewhere to get wasted out of sight of Mommy and Daddy. Half the Heirs in the galaxy are useless idiots who do nothing but party all day long."[/i] 👨‍✈️ [i]"Must be nice to be rich instead of busting your hump all day long to make a few credits."[/i] 👩‍✈️ [i]"If they put out a bounty on that missing Heir, I'm gonna do everything I can to find that useless punk."[/i] *goto mental_note *label pirate_talk 👨‍✈️ [i]"The other day, I had to make an emergency warp jump to get away from some pirates. I sure wish the cops would do something about them! Fuel pods are pretty expensive, you know."[/i] 👩‍✈️ [i]"Pirates started appearing on the outer planets' trade routes once that gang called the Syndicate started getting powerful. From what I hear, the pirates actually work for the Syndicate."[/i] 👨‍✈️ [i]"That is outrageous. The Galactic Council should declare them Outlaws immediately!"[/i] 👩‍✈️ [i]"Keep dreaming, pal. The Syndicate already controls half the seats on the Galactic Council. Won't be long before they control the other half, too."[/i] *goto mental_note *label syndicate_talk 👨‍✈️ [i]"Hey, you ever heard of this association called the Syndicate? Seems like they're becoming quite a powerful network on the outer planets."[/i] 👩‍✈️ [i]"Yeah, I heard of the Syndicate. They're nothing special, just a new gang of elites trying to take over from the last gang of elites. They can all go to hell, as far as I'm concerned."[/i] 👨‍✈️ [i]"Hard to believe humanity is now spread throughout the galaxy, and we still have to deal with these oligarchs trying to lord it over people's lives. I'm sick of those egomaniacs!"[/i] 👩‍✈️ [i]"That's why I became a trader, pal. It's the only way to live free."[/i] *goto mental_note *label police_harassment 👨‍✈️ [i]"Holy crud, I don't know if you've heard, but the IGP have been stopping everyone lately. Seems like any trader that comes near the outer planets gets pulled over by the cops, these days."[/i] 👩‍✈️ [i]"Well, I heard they're looking for someone on a Pigeon class vessel. Apparently, they're plotting a rebellion against the Galactic Council or something, and they're traveling around, disguised as a trading ship captain."[/i] 👨‍✈️ [i]"Pigeon class? Jeez, are those things still flyable? I feel sorry for any trader trying to make a living with one of those. What do they have? Like, five cargo holds, total?"[/i] 👩‍✈️ [i]"Yeah, must be rough. Anyway, I hope the cops get 'em. The last night I need is a rebellion screwing up my trade networks.

But do you really think it's true that someone actually invented a working quantum drive engine?"[/i] 👩‍✈️ [i]"Of course. It's the only way to get to Sector Zero in the fourth dimension. And we know that's where the Galactic Council is hiding its secret research base."[/i] 👨‍✈️ [i]"But a ship would have to have a drive capable of going to Warp 11 in order to break the barrier of the fourth dimension, and that's physically impossible."[/i] 👩‍✈️ [i]"That's what the Central Families you to think! The way I heard it, a genius scientist named ${scientist} built a quantum capacitor out of sold gold and then wired it to a Zheng He class starship. ${scientist} got it up to at least Warp 11, but when the Central Families found out, they tried to kill ${him} so that they could keep the technology for themselves."[/i] *goto mental_note *label market_gossip *gosub trader_talk 👨‍✈️ [i]"Last week, I made quite a nice little profit by going to quadrant ${pq}."[/i] 👩‍✈️ [i]"That's where the planet ${planfun} is, right?"[/i] 👨‍✈️ [i]"Yep.
