Scalen Council Security Guard #1: Oh. The pickpockets are there to keep undesirable inventory levels down with offworlders. We consider Offworlders to have overstocked inventories to be contagious like a virus. The council prefers people have reduced minimal inventories. We can't have everybody coming into the city with full inventories.

Scalen Council Security Guard #1: Well, hss, we are a cold-blooded reptile race, what do you expect that we show goodness to everybody all of the time? We would go out of business in the underground if we did that. We have to maintain slipperly rules around here. That is how we kept our society going with all the shiftyiness. |
Scalen Council Security Guard #1: Why thank you little girl, hmm, do I know you? You look a little familiar to me. We consider that to be a compliment when we are reminded of our slippery cold ways. Are you that nuisance reporter that came to our world a while back trying to get us on Nella Tv by any chance hmmm?

Scalen Council Security Guard #1: that maybe your opinion Offworlder which holds no water around here, Unless you are one of the council members, you do not have the power and authority to tell the council what to do in its own meetings. You need to get a council pass if you want to see the Council. And if they are in a good mood, they might consider
echo. making a change or not. You can your Council pass by going to the council Registration booth over there that is on the otherside of the council building. |
Scalen Council Security Guard #1: For extra security. One row of pickpocket around here is not enough, so the Council put in three rows to make sure everybody who passes into this area gets picked, we consider this to be in line with the new Council Regulations to keep any offworlder's inventories levels down to a satisfactory level to prevent greed from breaking
echo. out otherwise we will have to waste other resources to try to contain it if we have a breakout. |
William Smith: This seems all back to front. I think your end goal is admirable that you want everybody to control their greed, but the methods that you employ on how to achieve it are rather in my opinion deplorable. Pickpocketing people just to keep their inventories levels down? What kind of measure is that? |
Scalen Council Security Guard #2: They are, when you step foot on Scalen, you come under our rules. You are no longer subject to your own rules that are outside of this world. Oh, didn't they tell you that before you docked on the planet? So you go by the council rules. I'm sure it will work out satisfactory for everybody and we will all get along hsst..
