On the top floors of this resort, in the conference rooms and penthouse suites, even now the politicians and diplomats are discussing whether or not they'd like to go gallivanting around our universes, and we aren't allowed even a cursory peep at what they're talking about, much less a formal seat at the table.

[Small grenade of political discontent lobbed, Narvin switches topic.]

Also, I want to make it known preemptively that yes, I am a technician and computer specialist, but no, I will not fix your personal computer, communicator, speeder, spawner, or whatever else you brought with you. I'm a researcher, not a common mechanic. [Actually, he might fix your computer, if he likes you. But Narvin doesn't like many people as a general rule. He also might offer to repair it if he thinks that you might have interesting files on your files that he might hack, but that's another matter.]

Approved security personnel is allowed to look in.

[Trololololol.]

I figure it's a problem that's relevant to us as individuals but I'm used to lookin' at a bigger picture sort of approach to things, where if you wanna have the advantages of a resource placed before you, you gotta present the advantages in you being allowed to partake of it.

I mean, they already did some preliminary gallivanting or else we wouldn't be here. I guess they're watchin' us pretty close.

What's wrong with being a common mechanic? Or even doing some odd jobs for money? [A genuine question there.]

[usfuzzies]

Well, you'd be a hell of an asset on the frontier. Is there anything you actually do?

[una_persson]

Well, clearly some discussions along those lines have already been had, or none of us would be here, would we?

[tawarwaith]

I do not like that political talks are concluded above us anymore than you, but there is little we can say or do. If you wish yourself involved perhaps you should have come here as an ambassador?
