My name is Tanaka Taro.

[ The Japanese "John Smith." Too bad there's no actual person by that name in Luceti, though. ]

[Part of few cultural differences she has to know about.]

Not many use these comm links as often. [Almost never.] What's your reason?

Are you familiar with 'DOLLARS'?

[VOICE // OFF-JOURNAL COMMUNICATIONS // ENCRYPTED CHANNEL]

[daisy023]

[Dollars... Dollars... She barely recalls the word. Something from centuries-old films of Earth prior to the creation of the United Earth Government.]

It's the former currency of the United Republic of North America, isn't it?

[TEXT!!!! oops forgot that part // OFF-JOURNAL COMMUNICATIONS // ENCRYPTED CHANNEL]

'DOLLARS' is an organization that is a level playing field--everyone is the same, there is no top or bottom.
There is no registration or sign-up. You are free to call yourself 'DOLLARS' as you wish.
What you do in the name of 'DOLLARS' is up to you to decide.

If you would, please spread the word.

[She keeps the name in mind. Someday, the possibility may come to seek something from this group, or have allies in this place.]

Most formal organizations don't work that way. I know military doesn't.

[Her tone does not sound dismissive, though. She sees some potential in this.]

'DOLLARS' is not that sort of community.

Political anarchism?

[Sounds like COMMUNISM Koslovic ideology, but there is a tinge of joking in her tone.]

Sounds hard to manage without even an objective. Unless everyone shares something.

They do--being a part of the group.
People help and look out for each other.

I'll keep in touch. If this network is secure against the Malnosso, then it'll have use.

[A lot of it, but she can't know if it is for the moment.]

How often will we hear from you?

[TEXT // OFF-JOURNAL COMMUNICATIONS // ENCRYPTED CHANNEL]

[dragons-peak.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

Occasionally. [ He can't constantly be using this. Someone would find out eventually... ]

[VOICE // OFF-JOURNAL COMMUNICATIONS // ENCRYPTED CHANNEL]

[daisy023]

... Understood, sir. Just be careful.

[She's acting like a spook now. This is disconcerting.]
