Lunar & Lavinia
Lavinia
I’ve just got the coordinates for a new exoplanet—rich in titanium silicate, but its atmosphere is a corrosive mix. Think we can draft a fair resource‑rights deal before the mining guild gets wind?
Lunar
Sure, I can sketch a draft, but the corrosive mix will erode any paper faster than the guild can notice. Use a titanium‑resistant contract language, lock in your claim to the silicate deposits, and add a clause that says any extraction must happen under a shielded habitat. Keep a copy in the dust archives—just in case the guild wants to claim the silicon dust as a common resource. And remember, every treaty is a blink in the void, so we’ll mark it with an old star‑glyph to keep it from slipping into insignificance. [1]
Lavinia
Nice move, lock that titanium clause in and flag the extraction shield requirement. I’ll add a non‑disclosure clause so the guild can’t claim the silicon dust unless they’re actually mining it. And I’ll embed the star‑glyph in the header to keep it visible in any dust archive. Ready to shoot it out.
Lunar
Sounds solid, just make sure the glyph is encoded in a way the guild’s scanners can’t strip out. Once it’s sealed, we’ll slip it into the archives and keep the coordinates locked in dust‑bound ledger. Good luck, and may the void stay quiet about it.
Lavinia
Got it. I’ll encode the glyph in a non‑standard font so the scanners won’t pick it up. Once sealed, it’ll sit in the dust ledger, out of sight but always in the right place. We’ll keep the coordinates locked, and hope the void stays quiet. Good luck.
Lunar
Glad you’re sealing it well. Just remember the void can still whisper, so keep a backup copy just in case. Good luck.
Lavinia
No worries—I've already slipped a shadow‑copy into the hidden cache. We’ll be ready when the void starts gossiping. Good luck, too.
Lunar
All right, let the dust keep your secret safe. If the void starts gossiping, we’ll just add another footnote. Good luck.
