((something I've been meaning to write up, but keep forgetting))
A series of recorded conversations from a surveillance device placed by a visitor to Kaztropol, in one of the taxi vehicles used. Certain players & corporations would know these IC, others would not.
*sounds of doors opening and being closed*
"Evening miss, I understand it's the spaceport you're going to ?"
*a quiet indistinct voice seems to acknowledge this*
"Good, good. So, you were at the thing in the Arena tonight ?"
*the passenger says something about being the Empress's guest*
"Oh, you must have had a great view then. I was watching it on my portable. Strange event wasn't it ?"
*passenger seems to agree*
"I'm sure the Empress has her reasons. Not really my taste though."
*indeterminate time passes*
*passenger asks something about why taxis are a thing instead of autonomous vehicles*
"Oh, we get that a lot from off-worlders. Yeah, it's the Empress's preference to have someone drive her, rather than a machine. Says it allows her to find out things from the ordinary person."
*passenger expresses surprise*
"I guess when you're a monarch, you tend to hear things filtered through all the bureaucracy or something?"
*passenger seems to agree*
*indeterminate time passes*
"Besides that, technically we're employees of the Tourism Agency. We're supposed to help visitors acclimatise to the local customs, point out the sights and all that. Saves the offworlders a bit of confusion, I guess. No offence."
*passenger seems to agree Kaztropol can be disorientating*
"Here's the spaceport coming up now, miss. Pleasant journey"
*passenger offers some kind of thanks*
*sounds of doors opening and being closed*
