Well, magic, I should think. They all have some, in some way.

Oh, it's bigger on the inside. I wouldn't put them in crammed habitats, that would make me no better than a trader!

[evasives]

Definitions of magic could change depending on the universe one comes from.

Let me guess. Magical suitcase?

[zoion]

Of course. Spelled it myself.

[evasives]

You can use it yourself?

[zoion]

Naturally. I'm a wizard.

[evasives]

And how does that work here?

[zoion]

The same way it does elsewhere, of course.

[evasives]

There are a lot of elsewheres. I doubt they work the same in every place.

[zoion]

I haven't really come across a place where my magic didn't work the way it does.

[evasives]

And you have been to other universes?

[zoion]

I'm in this one now, aren't I?

[evasives]

That brings the count up to two, which is not a very large sample all things considered.

[zoion]

You're a scientist!

[evasives]

I would not call myself one. I just know how to work with data.

[zoion]

That's foundation of it, surely.

[evasives]

Yes, but I am not particularly experimental. I just gather it and use it as I see fit.

[zoion]

And how do you see it fit?

[evasives]

There is no one single answer to that. It depends on circumstance.

[zoion]

Ah, but surely, you have a guiding principle?

[evasives]

[ anti space fascism?? ]

My galaxy is entrenched in a war. My motivations are for the Rebellion.

[zoion]

[ a worthy goal!! ]

What does the Rebellion stand for? If you do not mind the question.

[evasives]

That depends on who you ask. For me, it stands against the Empire and their subjugation.

[zoion]

Subjugation?

That makes sense, then.

[evasives]

They wish to see the entire galaxy under their control, planets stripped of resources.

[zoion]

Ah. Yes. I've met someone with similar goals, once. It's not-

I understand why you fight, then.
