#0001 {Hey, stranger - how do you like our breathing gas in ~1ATACAMA-CITY? ~0I engineered it. }
#1001 {I hear it's unusual. What's it made of?}
#0002 {We use the helinox EnTrOx sells us, put it through a decontaminator, then mix it with Surface-One.}
#1002 {Right, you screen out most of the radioactive components. But what exactly is Surface-One?}
#0003 {We get it from the Clansunion. They say that it smells EXACTLY like the surface of the earth.}
#1003 {How the hell would they know? Nobody's ever been up there!}
#0004 {They say they got the formula of the smell from ancient books of poetry.}
#1004 {You know, it does smell a bit...earthy. But I thought that just came from the rock walls.}
#0005 {Yes, that's part of it. The walls of ~1ATACAMA-CITY ~0are almost entirely made up of solid natural rock. It's UNIQUE in Aqua.}
#1005 {I hear a lot of people come just for that - to be directly in contact with earth. No layer of titanium in between.}
#0006 {Yes, and they often start to dream! They tell us that they get a sense of being...at home.}
#1006 {I remember old fairy-tales that ~2ATACAMA-CITY ~3was founded by rebellious Clansunion families. There were supposed to be giant squid here, who were able to survive because of the hot springs nearby.}
#0007 {Hahaha...yes, I know these fairy-tales. There IS life near the springs - the "Hot Vents". But it's chemo-synthetic life, not monsters!}
#1007 {I'll bet you do incredible business with your chemo-synthetic protein exports, especially with the anniversary in ~2NEOPOLIS coming up.}
#0008 {Are you kidding? The Atlantans pay us next to nothing. They're exploiters! And warlords like SANTIAGO and WILLY BOY live a good life on what meager profits there are!}
#1008 {Surprise, surprise. There's always enough for THEM, but the people get left out.}
#0009 {I don't even want to think about it any more. It's been nice talking to you, friend, but I must get on. Light!}
