Man-animals operating machinery?
:33:06
Have you blown a head gasket?
:33:09
I will be the laughingstock
of the universe.
:33:13
So you should have me
take man-animals. . .
:33:16
. . .with equipment,
out to a remote area. . .
:33:18
. . .better that you don't know where,
and try and train them.
:33:21
Have them do some test mining.
:33:24
If it doesn't work out,
no one will know.
:33:27
-Right.
-And if it does work. . .
:33:29
. . .I will be vaporized.
:33:31
It is against the law.
:33:33
Regulations say. . .
:33:35
. . .a Planetship faced with
a profit-threatening situation. . .
:33:39
. . .is relieved
of all other ordinances. . .
:33:42
. . .to pursue, to protect
and to acquire said profits.
:33:47
There you have it.
:33:55
We stick to the original plan.
:33:58
Bring in new workers. . .
:34:01
. . .and they go on half-pay
as soon as they arrive.
:34:04
And that is final!
