[Such poor manners, but Dooku will have to overlook it for the sake of his campaign.]
I recall the perception you displayed regarding the issues which confront our community... particularly regarding the government. An opportunity has arisen to make progress on these challenges.
I will be campaigning to represent imPorts as Ambassador of Maurtia Falls in the upcoming elections. And I could use your help in pursuing the position.
[if you want manners out of duncan then i'm afraid you've got a long road ahead.]
Whoa, no shit, really?
What, uh. What does an ImPort ambassador do, exactly? And how were you thinking I could help? I mean it's not like I have any connections here or anything, I barely even know anyone...
[May the dark powers of the galaxy grant him the strength to endure this foul-mouthed nonsense.]
The Ambassadors are the elected representatives of our community- the liaisons between imPorts and the native government. They are granted significant funding from the government to pursue projects to improve the cities they serve. And the media recognizes them as the public voice of imPorts.
As for you... you work with Tesladyne Industries. A quite successful company, created by imPorts. Your colleague Anastasya is running alongside me to represent De Chima. I believe your endorsement and donations could go a long way.
[alright, so about what he thought, then. still, it's good to confirm. he doesn't want to put his support behind someone without a solid understanding of what they're responsible for.]
It's too bad bossman isn't here anymore, I'm sure he'd be willing to throw some money your way. I don't have a whole lot of financial control here though, I have to submit a budget for everything I do. I can try talking to the CEO for you but he's not an ImPort so...who fucking knows.
As for the endorsement, I-- [he interrupts himself with a soft chuckle, and then a brief pause. The ironic thing is, back home? His endorsement actually would go a long way. He's important in a way he's still not quite used to yet, and he was about to say that he can't throw his support behind a candidate without a lot of consideration for the political ramifications.]
[but. he's not important here. "Vahishta" means nothing, there's no church behind him, he's just some guy who happens to be from an alternate reality. so, where even before he became Vahishta he might normally express some reluctance to endorse a candidate whose views he doesn't have a complete picture of, he instead decides that since he doesn't matter much here, neither do the details.]
Sure.
Just let me know what I can do to help out the campaign. Signs, phone banks, however this shit works here, time's about all I can guarantee as far as donations go.
If your CEO is wise, he will value the input of his two import employees. I am sure that you both create great things for the company.
[That's a big part of what Dooku's platform stands for: imPorts are friggin' fantastic. They're charity engines, wealth generators, life savers, and founding companies like Tesladyne is just part of it.]
But even if he is not, I will not forget your personal support. My campaign does have posters which you can display at your home and in public areas. But the best thing you can do for my candidacy is simply speaking with other imPorts about the best way they can vote.
[Dooku gives a little self-deprecating chuckle here.]
I am well-aware that many of our peers do not follow politics, or the lengthy platforms of old men. We must engage those parts of our community in this contest if we are to have a truly representative election.
Sure, I've got like fifty years of scientific advances in genetics to be constantly baffled don't exist yet. You know they can't even lab-grow cloned organs here? If I can work out the reverse engineering on that this place is going to be set for fucking life.
[there's no ego behind that, because ha ha what is having any degree of pride in yourself. it's just an example to back up his agreement with what Dooku is saying: Duncan has a significant potential monetary value to this company, so the CEO has no reason not to give some weight to his suggestions.]
Alright so the same as every American election, basically. Focus on voter turnout because everyone's too fucking lazy to exercise their rights.
How's, uh, the voting system...work, for this election? I mean, the actual physical process of voting. That's the shit you have to educate people about, you know? Make sure they're prepared so they actually go out and do it.
I know just how you feel. It is space travel that I truly miss. Being confined to a single planet is unpleasantly similar to being stranded. But your medical priorities have far more noble potential, of course.
It is my understanding that the vote will be held on the 27th of this month, and that polling stations will be available throughout the Porter cities. I certainly hope the authorities are advanced enough to use electronic means of registering our choices.
This is a winner-take-all system. Whoever gains the most votes, wins the seat. That is why every vote is important.
Man, don't call my shit noble, medical genetics is just the field I happen to be in. If I were a--
[wait. did he say space travel? as in interplanetary space travel? and it's common enough to feel stranded without it, like you would not having a car? shiiiit son, prepare to derail hard]
Wait, you guys have interplanetary space travel? Are we talking like air travel level accessibility because that sounds fucking amazing.
Do you have FTL? What method are you guys using to achieve that? How do you deal with the time dilation effect?
