"Travel ban?  yay!  Now they will have to listen to me!" Ereso tells Hovers as he takes a seat at a nearby cafe despite having no means which to even drink.  Ereso had came here before the travel ban and had begun handling out flyers with videos he made of the benefits of posthumanism to lots of rejection.  Shame so many don't want to hear the good news of post humanism for everyone being a feasible reality.  Ereso, feeling the need for a break decided to go to a local cafe for a brief breather.  At that cafe, a waitress comes by and asks his digital face "What drink shall it be?  On Patriot's Day, coming next week the stimulus drinks are half off."

"Just water please, lots of water.  A gallon of water." Ereso tells her, despite not really being able to drink water.  Hovers meanwhile finds itself interested in the activities of the metallic beings who identify themselves as 'scroungers'.  Hovers does a poor job concealing itself and rapidly repositions back to Ereso's location, where Hovers watches as Ereso pours a liter of water into his facial screen that just drips over his machine body.  A waiter immediately comes to clean it up.

"Oh sorry.  I'll give an extra tip for the mess." Ereso assures the waiter before the waiter starts wiping the table.

Hovers than catches Ereso's attention and tells Hovers what just happened.

"Oh doodles Hovers, forgot my mouth component back on the spaceship and got water all over myself. It's okay, the sensation of water running on my skin is just as good."

Hovers however, is not terribly happy and if anything, in a panic state.  Saying in a monotonous, neutral voice "[We] must leave [we] must leave."

"Why now?  We just started." Ereso tells Hovers.

"[Vasiska] to be [strip mined] by [evil aliens]" It states, buzzing in terror as it does so, a fact obscured by the monotony of its speech.

Ereso's digital face shifts to a annoyed face as he tells Hovers with disdain "Eh, that's why it is best everyone here becomes a post human.  When you are a post human, strip mining is just an annoyance.  Besides the fed will murder em, this is a fed world you know."

"[evil aliens] are [powerful]" Hovers tells Ereso, worried but unable to express worry through that monotonous droning of a voicebox.

"But the fed is [powerfuller]" Ereso responds while switching to a smiling face mode once more.

Ereso however is just not really sure why Hovers would be scared of whoever is here.  There's nothing that can possibly go wrong, it's a federation protected world.  Right..?
