Cigar lover, eh? I'll have a few boxes sent over.
I appreciate you taking the time to see me, Chief Taylor. As Governor of Ventura I have a certain diplomatic importance that requires a certain amount of safety. It is with this in mind that I must register a serious complaint! You see, I believe I'm being followed!

You see, my species contains a special ability in which we can sense whenever we are in danger. Lately, I have been feeling this whenever I venture out into the streets of Legion World and then I feel it following me around. Always on the fringe of where I am, and then approaching rapidly--I move away and the feeling fades but if I'm idle, it grows stronger again.
Therefore, I can only assume some horrific assailant is following me with ill intentions. It could be a political problem, or perhaps a customer who bet big and got taken by the house. It happens.

Your right Chief, it is a very good cigar.
It's also highly illegal to smoke one of these outside of a filtered smoking enclosure.

I see the ill-manners of the Daxamite race are as potent as ever! It's no wonder you're working in some sleazy backroom office with a bunch of jailbait! You're a bum, Ranger! Nothing but a thug!

Listen, Governor of Ventura--this Office's integrity is unimpeachable and we are NOT INTERESTED IN BRIBES!
However, your safety is always of concern. If you'd like, I can assign an Elite Guardsman to investigate and a redshirt detail to ensure your protection.

Might be true, Nyebif, but from where I stand you Venturans have a whole new definition of slimey...
Where do you get your cigars Nyebif? Does your dealer carry any other tobacco products?

Just Ranger Chief, but you can call me Bart if you like...
Pagan Lass was killed by her addiction to Earth Cigarettes.
Cigarettes have been illegal for centuries but someone has been bringing them into Legion World.
We just want to know who that someone is...
