*Appears to be laughing*

"Robert, as much I admire your somewhat business minded approach to the disposal of street urchins and general childcare (they do have a tendency to get under your feet somewhat oui)? I’m not entirely pre-disposed towards your (no doubt) innovative methods towards turning children into currency. But we’re not in the Mint business you know”.

*Suddenly turns slightly more serious, but only slightly*

“However between your commendable thriftiness Robert and Iva’s (no doubt) overpowering sense of the maternal, there is a borderline. Whilst I agree fully with Robert that a gigantic, interstellar crèche, orphanage, whatever, may get the Commonwealth laughed out of the Taus, it makes practical sense to move our most vulnerable personal to location slightly more secure than the Freeport proper. In a sense, you’re very wrong Robert (surprisingly). These children are much as we are; all legal citizens of the Tau Liberation Zone. Plus there is that age old, overused adage of Zoner freedom we have to consider; people might get the wrong impression”.

“My only concern is that I’m not entirely confident we could effectively mount a gold-plated hedonistic pleasure palace of a space casino outside Freeport 10 in the middle of Outcast space (or so they claim) without somebody with a copious degree of penis envy attempting to fragment it. Filling it with children will not be a viable moral deterrent I’m afraid Iva”.

“Of course we need to protect Citizens of the Tau Commonwealth, and this is what the transmission is concerned with (Robert...). Perhaps a Gallic Lucullus liner would be more appropriate Iva?”

“But of course, in the end this is your project. Pick the pleasure palace if you will, I’m sure the influence upon it’s occupants will be...”

“...Beneficial.”

*Yawns*
