Tell whoever to bring his wife or girlfriend. We can't have any brawn fixation going on. (Brawn fixation is where you think that all women want you, therefore you should act appropriately according to that.)

I mean, when you act up on my ship, you have to find the com unit in the vents. No one has found it yet. If one of your people finds it, then more power to him!
Paragraph 5, subparagraph 12, clearly states that no genetic engineering will take place on an unwilling subject. If you don't abide by that law, you have to put up with a chip in your neck for 3 years. Just ask Jensen! He'll tell ya!

Read 'em all. They were quite enjoyable.

But some have valued our presence because of our inflexibility. Which is nothing but an expression of the purity of our beliefs. I hope you can become one of them.
Have you met Martin? Rigidness incarnate. I'm sure your people wouldn't mind. If nothing else, for the pure fun of traveling in space.
F&F wrote:The inflexibility is due to the fact that we feel SO strongly about things, and will not be swayed.
That's a really good trait!

Keep it, it'll come in handy.
