"...as far as anyone remembers." Caz latched on to that little tidbit, and his spooked face only grew in to one of disgust. "So, some ship can prod around in people's brains...and stuff like that~? I suuure feel rescued, all of a sudden!"

The fact that the damn thing had to be hacked by crewmates was even more awkward. It was a damn good thing Caz hadn't decided to just go full out evil mode when he popped, or...yeah best not to think about it. Hey, at least he only had to worry about jail.

He only grew more deadpan as the topic continued. "So there's at least three major bodies of government, not counting the departments, and two of them have separate sets of rules?" He had to laugh. It was the only way to get that weird feeling of concern off his chest. "Well, that's just dandy~ Why don't they publish this stuff in that stupid little newbie guide? Or did I miss that part, too~? Jesus."

Screw it. Even if he couldn't taste it, Caz took a piece of watermelon and chomped down on it. At the very least it made him feel better.
