raisedinaboxDid 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?

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.
