Finally back with our main crew, and in Dakar. It’s so much easier to have humor with these three around. I may have to find ways to lighten Msaka and Caera up.
And yes, that’s a fart joke. There won’t be many of those so cherish them when they happen.

Captain T: Well, folks, there's Dakar for you. It's been an honor having you aboard, Mr. Doe. So don't take this the wrong way...but please, get far away from my ship.
Jacob: Understood, Captain.
Girii: Captain Threenipple, where can we buy clothes? I'm going to melt in this sweater.
Captain T: Straight off the docks you'll see the market district. You can buy anything there.
Jacob: Aren't you hot, Roger?
Roger: Nope. This is a high-tech jacket. It's got heating and air conditioning.
Girii: Whew. That's a relief. I was wondering where that hot exhaust was coming from.
Jacob: Understood, Captain.
Girii: Captain Threenipple, where can we buy clothes? I'm going to melt in this sweater.

I cherished it. Half fart joke, half world building.
I really like the captain’s fond farewell — ‘Please, get far away from my ship!’
I’m certain he’ll be glad to know Jacob’s going to need a getaway ship….
Like the air conditioned jackets, personal transportation will have had its quantum leaps…like the solar powered pterodactyl personal “hogs” for getaways…
I don’t think you’ll see many hoverjets in the 22nd century. 🙂 I see future technology affecting the small scale — nanotech, genetics, and materials science. That can still give revolutionary changes.
