Gossip

Overheard conversation in the Benulobiweed Inc. boardroom which was published by SPACE:

Q. "I told you not to go spending money on pointless toys !"
A. "What toys ?"
Q. "That bloody great hologram of a Falcon over there ! - Nice paint job by the way ..."
A. "Umm, it's ..."
Q. "Hey, it's solid ! Got any plasters ?"
A. "Here. It's a Falcon"
Q. "How much this time ?"
A. "Don't you want to know how we made a see-through ship? No-one else has got one."
Q. "H o w , m u c h ?"
A. "Didn't cost a penny."
Q. "You've not been nicking stuff from GalCop again? !!"
A. "No boss. Found a load of this weird paint in a couple of the YT-1300's we imported. No-one has asked for it back ..."
Q. "Free then ... ?"
A. "Money hasn't changed hands, if that's what you mean."
...
...
Q. "Hmmm, invisible ships ?"
A. "Slightly transparent."
Q. "We're the only manufacturer outside the military with stealth technology. We'll make a fortune !"
A. "Makes no difference on scanners."
...
Q. "Not stealth then ?"
A. "No."
Q. "Looks kind-a cool. Make it a manufacturer's option on all Falcon's."
A. "Is that wise ? We didn't buy the paint & I thought you didn't want any more attention."
Q. "Glad you agree. Slap another 100,000 on the list-price for the option."
A. "Benulobiweed getting expensive again ?"
Q. "You bet."
