1 qev025202_MSG0001 Hey, how's business? Not great, if the look on your[ST:n ]face says anything.[ST:wait ]
2 qev025202_MSG0002 ...Trouble with Ma-non in the stores, eh?[ST:n ]Yeah, that's no surprise.[ST:wait ]
3 qev025202_MSG0003 I get new complaints every day. Complaints about[ST:n ]being denied service, or strange health concerns,[ST:n ]or just... Well, you name it.[ST:wait ]
4 qev025202_MSG0004 Folks are always afraid of stuff that's new.[ST:n ]So incidents like these are to be expected, I guess.[ST:wait ]
5 qev025202_MSG0005 But we put everyone who enters the city through a[ST:n ]thorough medical scan. Ma-non, Nopon, everyone.[ST:wait ]
6 qev025202_MSG0006 The fact we let them in tells you we've never found any[ST:n ]pathogens on them.[ST:wait ]
7 qev025202_MSG0007 We require regular checkups, too. Epidemiologically[ST:n ]speaking, Ma-non are completely safe to humans.[ST:wait ]
8 qev025202_MSG0008 I understand people's concerns, but we have to get used[ST:n ]to xenoforms in our city if we hope to survive.[ST:wait ]
9 qev025202_MSG0009 I don't need to tell you that half our military-industrial[ST:n ]complex runs on Ma-non tech. Or that they're the star[ST:n ]of our economy.[ST:wait ]
10 qev025202_MSG0010 So go back and tell that store owner that she's nuts if[ST:n ]she thinks the government will take her side.[ST:wait ]
11 qev025202_MSG0011 Most people have already come around to this way[ST:n ]of thinking, so she can either get with the times[ST:n ]or get left behind.[ST:wait ]
12 qev025202_MSG0012 Maintaining friendly relations with the Ma-non is[ST:n ]essential for our survival on Mira.[ST:wait ]
13 qev025202_MSG0013 I hope people like your store owner can accept that[ST:n ]sooner rather than later.[ST:wait ]
