He grinned. "I want to, though. My ship runs on an intermix of polarized and depolarized tri-photons, and I was wondering of the two designs would be compatible at all." Once stuck in space, he had learned all he could, and had ended up helping to design the next generation of starfighter ships.

"A man named Captain Picard. This ship apparently belongs to the Federation of Planets, to their exploration and peacekeeping arm, called Starfleet. I guess you could talk to him. And i heard they are working on making arrangements for those of us who want to to have jobs, but no news on when that will be finished."

"Oh! We're required to go through a week or two of medical quarantine, which means between here and sickbay and the guest quarters, until they are absolutely sure no one here can make us sick with stuff we have never been exposed to, and vice versa, with whatever we brought in." He glanced around.
