Mik: Is anyone with you?
Pilau: No. Solo trip.
Mik: Who knows that you are here?
Pilau: People. A few colleagues. You don’t know them.
Mik: Allow me to see your research.
Pilau: Here. Here’s some math.
Mik: Are you carrying anything liquid, perishable, hazardous or fragile?
Pilau: No, nothing. Look, you can practically everything on the ship from here, there’s nothing interesting.
Mik: Then you won’t mind if I board your ship for a quick check.
Pilau: Yes I would mind. I sleep on this ship. You would mind me looking through your bedroom.
