Cie & Fuego, Fine Tobacco From a Dozen Systems
(follows list of heirloom tobacco strains including Cuban plus Central Amarican strains of filler and Connectict wrapper.......) A sister company- perhaps Taste of Heaven- could be a liquor importer and between paired shops in shopping malls, termini duty free stations and just general sales of fine spirits and tobacco, you can do well in the luxury end of the market. |

According to the Geneva Conventions, the detaining power is required to credit prisoners (or at least commissioned officers) with half their pay for canteen purchases. Presumably books are balanced through the Protecting Power (usually ICRC). I assume that the Deneb Accords have a similar provision. |

...And in other recent news, the SS Botany Bay was rediscovered floating near the edge of Verge Space. The surviving cryo- crew members were shipped to Beowulf for defrosting and general mental decontamination and fix up.
In addition, however, it was discovered that there was an additional pod stuffed with Ensign Chekov's entire chip collection of 20th-23rd century Netflix greatest hits, and a whole bunch of things called YouTubes etc. from the early part of the 21st century. For HD subscriptions including our "exclusive content sections" on YOUR planet and favorite HD channel, please contact Dewey Cheatem AndHowe Rental services.... ---------------------

In "By the Book" in Beginnings, there was a rather interesting way of a certain group to put a lot more information including books into the things that were being sent out with some of those early cryo colony ships. What are the odds that there might be a number of packages of "adult content" material on things lke the Botany Bay or any other really old ship that turned up? For that matter, in the personal effects of some of those SLN personnel captured or killed at with Bing, at Spindle or 2nd Manticore. |

Contact your local office of Dewey.... etc. we'll license that stuff too! [Oh by the way. Dewey Disney owns a transtellar. They got the copyright limitation extended to 99 years plus prolong plus possible cryo plus cloning of author's long last-dead family member's DNA]. ---------------------

kzt, this is hilarious. The only thing that sticks out like a sore thumb is while dollars are used on Manticore, the Solarian League uses credits.[/quote] Thanks. I couldn't remember and I needed to go do something else.[/quote] -------------- It still works -- the Nigerian "deal" e-mails usually have both mis-spelling, missed grammar and lost details. What makes any of us think that 2000 years will change the scheme ?? Credits / Dollars (of any type) / Kroners / Kuggarands -- Stewart |
