[There isn't a response immediately, he's taking time to translate this.]

What is "xmas"? [He knows what Christmas is, academically anyway.]

I hope you can learn soon.

[lackey]

hey u ! xmas. christmas. ppl holiday in dec thats all bout dresin up trees & houses in lites & pets & kids in ugly sweters. everybody gives presents 2 each other. theres sum other shit 2 like a big guy in a red suit w / flyin deer but. mostly its bout the presents.

my kid was suposed 2 b born on xmas. joked hed b ndn jesus but cant b that if hes a she. rly would like 2 find out boy or girl. mayb name 2.

u got any ur ppl holidays u celebrate ?

[chancetoatone]

Ah, yes. Christmas. A human holiday celebrating the birth of a god, I believe. I've heard of it, though not its celebration. Dressing up a tree? What is the point of the ugly sweaters?

I'm sorry to hear you missed the birth of your child.

There is the Great Pilgrimage, and the coming of the rains. We have feast days dedicated to the gods.

[lackey]

kid of a god yea. lot of ppl r into it. idk whats up w / the trees & sweters. idk if anybody knos whats up w / em or if they just do those things cuz everybodys been doin em for so long theyr just like ok. tradishun.

rain comin & feast days 4 gods i get. whats this pilgrim one ? doesnt have anything 2 do w / turkeys does it ?

[chancetoatone]

...no. My people were saved from oblivion and over-population a little over 100 years ago. Every year, we gather and visit our fallen planet, to mourn the loss of our society, or contemplate on the dangers of uncontrolled expansion, and to reflect on the benevolence of our saviors, whom the gods sent to save us.

[lackey]

oh. yea thats way difrent than turkey bs. but a good leson. ppl shouldnt breed like rabits. its ok when rabits do it cuz theyr small & lots of things eat em. just troubl when ppl do it.

thats a problm here 2 rly. ppl ppl evrywhere in sum places. did u go 2 nyc 4 that 1 gov party ? & see all the ppl ? makes 4 good parties ( & i dont mean gov parties ) but its still getin kinda nuts.

sorry u lost ur hole planet tho dude. that sux.

[chancetoatone]

Yes. I believe there are currently more than 6 billion natives currently on this planet, and the Porter brings more often enough. According to our history, our population reached 11 billion and quickly crumbled.

I suppose this planet could learn something from our mistakes.

[lackey]

i dont think the portr brings in that many ppl. ive nevr tried 2 count at the partys but there cant b more than idk 500 imports ? gotta think not everybody goes 2 the partys so. sum # in the 100s. & i dont think any imports have had kids ?

but yea. agree w / u. hope ppl figur it out b4 were at 11 bil. cant even imagine 11 bil. get so crowded wed have 2 stand on top each other.

[chancetoatone]

Indeed. It would be very uncomfortable. I think enough of us are ported out in a timely manner that it isn't a problem.

[lackey]

yep. so what u been up 2 lately ?

[chancetoatone]

Not much. I had apple pie for the first time, and may be changing jobs.

[lackey]

pies great. what job u got now & what job u mayb getin ?

[chancetoatone]

So I've found.

Currently, I'm a security consultant for the government. I may be taking a position in security at the Facility in Nonah.

[lackey]

ok so r u like more bodyguard or bouncr ? & whats the facility ?

[chancetoatone]

Neither. I patrol, and ensure any intruders are dealt with.

[No, he really doesn't realize how bad that reads as.]

The Facility is an imPort run organization for the betterment of our own. [Or so he's been told.] It's run by our local representative.

[lackey]

[Ensure any intruders are dealt with... Yikes.]

got u. id go w / the facility then ! not that the gov isnt supr but. imports ! helpin our ppl !

[chancetoatone]

[Well. He's an assassin, Mike...]

Yes. The Facility is an organization I can get behind. It's becoming more and more apparent the local government is not going to remain perpetually supportive of those who choose not to become the heroes they seek.

[lackey]

[And if he ever finds out about that, he'll really be toeing the line.]

yea if ur not the hero they want u 2 b.. its iffy. even if u r the hero they want u 2 b ! like if u make a mistake sumtime ? iffy.

[chancetoatone]

[Hey, hey. He only kills people if someone pays him a lot of money to do it >>]

Exactly. I was brought here against will. I didn't sign a contract, but they expect me to do as instructed, which changes because no parameters were set. It makes for an unstable work environment, and one I would rather avoid.

[lackey]

[Well, that's better. Especially since Mike is making a lot of money these days, ahem.]

sounds like uve made up ur mind on the job change. wish there was sumthin i could do 2 help w / this facility but alredy got 2 jobs im workin. busy busy busy.

[chancetoatone]

[Having the reputation as the best assassin in the galaxy nets you a big price tag. If you can afford it though, Mike...he considers you a friend. He'd give you a discount.]

I have.

The Facility is open to all imPorts, Mike. You don't have to work there to benefit.

[lackey]

[Mike doesn't have much else to spend all of his money on right now. Though he also doesn't have anyone he wants dead... yet.]

how els can u benefit ?

[chancetoatone]

They're primarily a training facility.

[lackey]

4 fightin u mean ?

[chancetoatone]

Yes, and a better understanding of your powers.
