Well I guess I can ask around where they would make fancy mechanisms like that. I could probably motion it out with my fist cupped in my other hand moving around... Though I'll have to wait until tomorrow even if I find out where I could get something like that I guess.

Thank you very much for your hospitality. [Probably gets mangled into "food"]"
I suppose Ump's father was pointed out yesterday in the mines.
I direct the next question to one of Ump's older sisters, "
So, what do you do all day? Do you work too?" And then to the other, "
How about you?"

Ump's father favors the thought that they are looking for enemy soldiers.

Soldiers. Who look like us. How would they even get here? Wouldn't they just get pushed off when they tried to land on the Vasic? And what could a few soldiers do anyway?"

If they just wanted to rob people why would they even need an excuse? They didn't give one to us."

All or almost all? I'd think that at least the food vendors would be working; big money on the holiday season... Otherwise, I guess I starve.
