Well, this just gets more and more interesting, doesn't it? Solanus thought, as he took a seat. He was a bit unnerved by his gaze initially, but he had also learned to control irrational fears quite well, and he showed no hint of this as he looked towards the viewport, and looked back again. "It's quite beautiful, I guess, once one actually slows down enough to enjoy and reflect upon it. That, unfortunately, tends not to happen too often in society these days, though." he replied, with a hint of sadness, "People always seem to act first and ask questions later. It just doesn't seem to be how life should work."
"Me, personally?" he continued, "Well, I was born on Gran Canaria, moved to Erie at 12, graduated from the Manhattan Institute of Technology with a major in systems engineering and a minor in economics, and obtained my pilot's license and my ship, the Coruscating Fire, soon afterwards. As for what I do, I'm your more or less average inter-system and inter-house trader, dealing mostly in high-tech components - fusion engine components, optronics, bio-neural processors, and such, although I've moved into raw and processed material transport recently as well - more variety tends to mean higher profits, although it also means more things to keep track of."
He then ordered a glass of water from a passing robotic aide. "Never really liked alcohol of any kind. It seems to affect my mind too much, and bad things tend to happen when it is the least expected."
