Espree is shaking her head, “You see the same interpersonal problems everywhere in this universe. Despite technology that is light-years ahead, there is no change in behavior; no progress in the humanities; no solution to unhappiness. Beings still can’t seem to get along. They endlessly bicker and fight and squabble about the same things on every planet— defending what they have and trying to take what they can...”

She suddenly sits up and her eyes take on an unfocused gaze—a gaze I am beginning to understand means that she is “looking” without her eyes, at things distance from this office

“Oh, this is interesting!” She says.

She quickly manipulates the joystick to show a scene outside the ship.

“It’s the police!” She says, zooming to an area near the front of the ship.

Sure enough there is another craft alongside the harvest ship. I have to laugh out loud! It has blue and red twirling lights on top of it!

Espree smiles, “Your planet is just a microcosm of the big picture in this Universe. Those things you ‘come up with’ or ‘invent’, are all things you have experienced before in other places and on other planets.

There are computers, Smartphones, Sports Cars, planes, TV’s, men wearing suits and ties, women wearing makeup and dresses, football, tennis, sneakers and bowling leagues all over this universe.

Everything you see in your movies is probably something that has occurred somewhere in this universe and end up here on Earth in someone’s Mechanical Mind, categorized as “fiction”.

“Sure, things are slightly altered and the words and brand names are not the same, but I can show you a “Soukowa Mainsee” on the planet Juboka that looks identical to a Dodge Viper and a “ Bousita Swera” from planet Dearca that you couldn’t tell apart from a Grumman F14 Tomcat fighter.”

She looks back at the viewer. “This should be interesting.”

She shifts the viewer to the scene of the bridge. Sure enough, two uniformed men― badges and gun belts―are smartly walking up to Toko and Bisto.

Toko 32974326A and Bisto 39875495548484B attend herewith! You are hereby under arrest for violation of Universal code 39875047 Section 2348B, Paragraph 348b, and Clause 3074.

“Wha….!”

Before Toko can get out the words, one of the police points a small device at him. He collapses to the ground. Bisto collapses at his side.

The policeman briskly turns to Salso who has just returned to the Bridge.

Salso 3298749873B, under universal code 34975B, section 934785A, paragraph 49875-C, part 1b, you are herewith designated interim captain of said Universal Harvest Ship 397R38-28A-43J. You are hereby assigned a probationary commission, conditional upon your ability to show a profit. All liability for current harvest is suspended. If upon completion of your next assignment, said Universal Harvest Ship 397R38-28A-43J shows a profit, you will be assigned a one-term contract. Imprint here.

Salso, looking rather dazed, offers a finger to the official who holds a small device against it.

“Carry on,” says the officer, smartly turning and following the other officer as he carries Toko and Bisto out.

Espree laughs. She explains how Salso was about to go to a bankruptcy planet, now he is captain of a Harvester.
