[Braxiatel appears, immaculate as ever, with a table of food – a fish dinner (Hulzarrian carp, for those in the know) of multiple courses, complete with Angel Delight for dessert. His expression is vacant for a moment, lingering on the main course, but then he remembers himself and puts lids over the dishes.]

[When Braxiatel speaks, he speaks with the clear calmness of ringing bells or water still enough to reflect the sky.]

I have a... general inquiry to make to anyone with a knowledge of history. History of the Gamatra sector, very early 27th century. Specifically, I'd like information on the history of the Fifth Axis expansion through the Vega System... and on its occupation of the planetoid designated KS-159, formerly Cappa Nine Seven under the Earth Empire, originally Delfus-Orestes.

[Through a supreme effort of will, he does not let his voice waver as he says the last words. He even conjures up a smile now, the sort of smile that is laughing at someone else's cosmic joke.]

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I said goodbye, so that's what's important, right? Ah, but I guess no one here really cares about that anymore.

Ne, but what kinds of jobs can you get in France? I guess ones that don't actually need experience, since I don't really have any... Well, other than music, but I probably shouldn't do that if I want to stay hidden.

{after a beat,} ...And I guess ones that are a little bit under the law, too! Or just the kinds where the government isn't going to be bothering me. It would be really unfortunate if I got caught again, you know? I just want something to do so that I'm not completely bored. I don't really want to just stay at home all day with nothing to do. That would be so boring!

But at least I get to go to France again. I think the Champagne-Ardenne region will be the nicest to live in, but I guess I could settle for Normandy, too...
