\u201d Mercury Girl, Black Sphere Line of Anguklukkakok City, Venusian Imperium, requesting permission to land and discharge cargo.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAh. Yes,\u201d said the large red haired man in the visiscreen. \u201cVenusian ownership, eh? An\u2019 what might your registry be?\u201d<\/p>\n

Captain Dhan Gopal Radhakrishnan blinked mild brown eyes in some astonishment and said:<\/p>\n

\u201cPanamanian, of course.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWas that your last port of call?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, we came via Venus. But I say, what has this to do with\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n

Having maintained his Earthside home for years in Victoria, B.C., Captain Radhakrishnan fancied himself a student of English dialects. However\u2014<\/p>\n

\u201cA thousand cases of Nashornbrau Beer and six ten-ton barrels of same, miscellaneous boxes of pretzels and popcorn, all for the Alt Heidelberg Rathskeller,\u201d he answered. \u201cPlus goods for other ports, of course, notably a shipment of exo-genetic cattle embryos for Alamo. Those have all been cleared for passage through intermediate territories.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
