D: Well no in this instance it’s just tomato, there’s no other-

CI: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
D: There’s no bend.
CI: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
D: Well that’s the thing, it’s the regulations. They’ve kept them stuck like that for years now.
CI: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
D: I don’t know. Just what people hear ya’know. Government stuff, aliens maybe, a place to fling robots out into the void. I dunno, who knows, it’s all just rumor.
CI: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
D: Yea well I mean I’m not even sure I’m allowed to say the name. You saw how hard they came down on those protesters. Abolitionists, whatever.
CI: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
D: [Laughs] Ha yeah, no- it was Pluto paraphernalia. [More laughter] Cracked me up too. They even changed that cartoon, what’s he now… Bluto? Blotto? I don’t know.

D: Well that’s above me. Just, listen, until then you know, any illegal landings, any lost surveyors, that kind of stuff.
CI: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
D: You know, best be careful or they’ll make a Pluto out of you if you know what I’m saying.
CI: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
D: Yeah, good to hear Tom.
CI: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
D: Alright, and hey, game soon, Tranquility course? I think I got it down this time, the nine is better on that seven hole I think. We’ll have to try it out.

D: Alright. Bye, ciao, bye, bye.
