Did anyone else get much chance to talk to the locals in that port? I couldn't help but find it ironic that their afterlife consisted of a seemingly endless journey towards an ephemeral end point.
[Jim sounds more or less calm, but there's a slight sharpness to his tone, as if something about this port left him feeling... just kind of generally unhappy.]
When I died, I was expecting my entire existence to come to an end. I find it... troubling that apparently spending your time embarking on futile tasks and endless journeys is a running theme when it comes to what happens after death, instead. Still, I suppose this place makes a lot more sense as a surreal punishment, than as a genuine attempt at creating some kind of reformation process.
[He sighs a slight sigh, before adding:]
And I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that a chewed up dog toy doesn't actually have any known use when it comes to spaceship repair?

Typo's are the acceptable cost for all those fascinating words!
No, no, this is fascinating, I just.. I'm afraid I'm having a little trouble with the different factions you're talking about. Jurisdiction is where you're from, I take it?
no subject
[Talking about it is odd, in that it's simply a thing that's known for him. He's never had to explain from the beginning, except for the barge. It's novel.]
Nine judiciaries, nine judges. When the First Judge dies there's a convocation of the Bench to decide which Judiciary's judge will get promoted and with Judiciary will lead in politics this go-round.
It's a big thing, Jurisdiction. So when a system or two gets angry or a few worlds act up it's not precisely a real war. There's just too much of Fleet.
