conversations.value: 'Hephaestus Shuffle (n., colloquial):
      A crime perpetrated on a person, usually human, who is new to, or otherwise unfamiliar with, Hephaestus Station; a prank, ruse, or flim-flam. Crime class C.'
  (excerpt from The Young Lawman's Dictionary of Minor Offenses, Templeton-Rhettlock Press, 3312)
  
  
    Hephaestus Station, shining crown jewel of the Novik sector. A one-stop shop for everything everyone in the universe could need. Legal or illegal, over or under the counter, from Templeton-Rhettlock's many quality novelty goods to smuggled alien body parts, Hephaestus station caters to the whims of every space jockey, displaced dictator-in-exile, and alien time-hopper that the universe has to offer. 
  
    Those who make their living on Hephaestus Station are rare breeds, the kind of entrepreneurial spirits with surprisingly low scruples that seem to crop up anywhere there's money to be made. Whether they're out to line their pockets, bring down empires, or just get off-station; whatever names they choose for themselves, the people in Cop Sector have just one name for them- Shufflers.

  Look, you're not, y'know, some kind of bigot or something. You just don't really get why everyone isn't basically like you. You think you're the default- and sometimes you forget that other people don't agree.

conversations.value: From indentured servitude, from oppression, from Hephaestus Station itself- it's out there, for those who would claim it. 
conversations.prefix: Freedom:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: On Hephaestus Station, you win every time you look at the temptation of evil and say 'no'. The victories are minor, but they mean something.

conversations.prefix: Hephaestus Docking Bay C:

conversations.value: There are lots of shady types and computer terminals near the docking bays. Maybe you can find something out about the Callous Fox and its cargo. 
conversations.prefix: Inquire about the Callous Fox:
