[Hendricks has been doing his backreading. Strange days. He wonders how common they are. ...and look, people are the same all over, from any culture or technology level. He's not surprised that the Stanford Prisoner Experiment was invoked recently, although he's more surprised that on the balance, there isn't general rule by the more literally super-powered. That's something worth having some renewed faith in.

Also he's going to have to pay attention to the rights of non-humans-- the vampires here aren't the Black court scourges or the White court soul eaters he's used to and he has to be better than preconceptions to do this job. He'll have to figure out how to talk to the local werewolf about what form her theriomorphy takes, because she seems to be halfway between a Lycanthrope and a Werewolf in the terms of his universe.

He thinks all that and he says:]

Hey. Name's Hendricks. I'm from Chicago. New warden.

Nice to meetcha.

Yup. The Andromeda Ascendant. The best ship in the three galaxies. [Dylan certainly thinks so, at least.]

And I hope to have her again once I'm done here. [After he gets his deal.]

From:

cujothebigreddog

That what you asked for? We're allowed to ask that, right?

From:

hunt4commonwealth

There's no rule against it as far as I know, although some people may not want to talk about their deal. But yeah, I'm here to save my ship and my crew.

From:

cujothebigreddog

That's pretty noble. [He nods, jaw out.] What's it like, flying in space?

From:

hunt4commonwealth

[Dylan's not sure about being called noble.] It's my fault they were put in danger. The least I can do is save them.

As for flying in space...when it's exciting it's heart-pounding life-and-death exciting. And when it's beautiful, it's the most sublime thing you've ever seen. But most of the time it's actually pretty uneventful and you get tired of the same old scenery really quick.

From:

cujothebigreddog

Like commercial pilots.

You from Earth? That's where I'm from.

From:

hunt4commonwealth

Actually I was born on Tarn Vedra. It's the Vedran home world, but a lot of humans live there, too. But I've visited Earth a few times and one of my crew members is from there. It's a good planet. [Or was, once. After the Fall it was not-so-good.]

From:

cujothebigreddog

That sounds, uh, interesting.

What's a Vedran.

From:

hunt4commonwealth

A Vedran...they're...uh... [Everyone in the Commonwealth knew what a Vedran was. He's never had to describe one before.]

They're an advanced species with four legs and two arms, bluish colored. They're the race that founded the Systems Commonwealth.

From:

cujothebigreddog

Huh.

[Hmm. Have to ask more about that later. Dealing with the fae makes him deeply leary of 'advanced races', but it's possible in this context that things are very different.]

Like Star Trek? All the worlds work together?

From:

hunt4commonwealth

Never heard of Star Trek, but worlds working together is the basic idea. Or, it was. The old Commonwealth collapsed and the new Commonwealth is still pretty shaky.
