Ships and Space, Part 2e

Among what she asked is the following:

What is it about you that meets alien women for sex?

How did you get a job that allows you to spend money just to appeal to them?

Are you more crooked than an ordinary person finds tolerable?

Do you think I find you more attractive than I do ridiculous?

Do you think you’re walking out of here alive?

Questions which he found most intriguing to be asked, and importantly, there were probably very few consequences to lie about it.

To which he replied:

I’m under extreme duress and in need of release, and in an amount of danger commensurate with other areas of my life.

I got a lot of funding in astronautics college and managed to land a high-ranking job quite quickly.

I hope so.

You don’t find me even slightly ridiculous, I’m extremely attractive.

I hope I look at life differently after I leave.

She responded with:

Near transparent abdomen- interesting strategy, flavourful truth. Probably exaggerating, though.

Almost opaque- I wasn’t expecting you to tell me, and there’s got to be more to it than that.

Alternating- you want people to find you high status but you don’t want to show it and that’s not quite an answer.

Completely opaque- funny lie, enjoy your reward.

For the last one, she just mooned him in contempt.

Any chance I can touch that?

She sniggered.
