name's Harlock.
no burning questions or complaints or philosophies to regale you with, sorry.
just these:

[three sets of coordinates. if explored, two lead to open, rather secluded areas just outside of town – one on the coastline. the other just leads to one of the bars.]

Comments

[prearcadian]

a couple. didn't catch everyone.
might be more snooping around, who knows?

[acclimatized]

Snooping is a good guess.

So. What do they lead to?

[prearcadian]

just places i've found.

[acclimatized]

You do this a lot?

[prearcadian]

this is pretty recent. haven't had a need for it in a long time, even when i did find myself planetside.

[acclimatized]

Planetside?

[prearcadian]

most of my time's spent in space when not being plucked through dimensional tech the government has no idea how to really work.

[acclimatized]

You get used to the plucking. So. You're an astronaut then.

[prearcadian]

astronaut's probably not the first word to come up if you ask anyone back there. it's an outdated term, given how long people have been able to head out to the stars.

[ john is beginning to wonder if this harlock is from a series of star trek he hasn't seen yet. ]

Space travel is normal then? Wow.

[prearcadian]

not so common where you're from, then. can't really tell you if that's good or bad; things weren't as bright and cozy as they are here.

[acclimatized]

No. It seems like they send something to Mars every few years, but other than that, there isn't much space travel.

[prearcadian]

and is Earth pretty cozy, then?

[acclimatized]

Yeah, most of the time. What about space?

[prearcadian]

depends on where about you wind up really.

[acclimatized]

Not so different from Earth then.

[prearcadian]

maybe not, but the distance helps.

[acclimatized]

Met any green men?

[prearcadian]

not in a while. blue, metal, pink...more women than men, though.

[acclimatized]

That doesn't sound so bad. If they ever get anywhere with this space program, maybe I'll think about signing up.

[prearcadian]

from what i've seen so far, space isn't as crowded here as it was where i'm from, friend.

[acclimatized]

John. You mean you've already gone up?

[prearcadian]

just once, not including that fake virtual tour gone to hell.

[acclimatized]

How?

[prearcadian]

there's folks here who can fly without having to go to the trouble of borrowing a jet and just enough charity to humor a bit of curiosity for curiosity's sake.
