"Who can gain access to Milliways?"

"Anybody, if the door likes you. I do not know why the door likes or dislikes people."

"Do you need to be using a door to access Milliways?"

"Apparently not always, from what I've heard. But usually. Gonna ban doors, are you?"

"I have not yet decided to ban doors. When else might someone gain access, besides when using a door?"

"If trapped or imprisoned and they are the kind of person who gets Milliways doors, by dreaming. By being lost in the wilderness and wandering into Milliways' back yard. Very occasionally, stranger ways."

"Can people facilitate immigration if they find Milliways in dreams or the wilderness?"

"Hell if I know."

"How many people have you told about where you came from?"

"Maaaaybe a couple dozen?" He mentally tallies. "Yep, seventeen." These guys are a bit paranoid and he's getting nervous about still being here.

"Does someone given Milliways access need to take an action to enter it?"

"I think so. But if you use those slave bracelets on people to stop them from doing anything if they encounter Milliways, Milliways' Security will notice and probably object. Security is metaphysically guaranteed to be able to defeat anyone and anything in the area."

He's glad to throw that in his face. Try to control Milliways? Good luck.

"What counts as a door for the purpose of entering Milliways?"

"...A panel with a hinge you can open, I suppose?"

"Have you ever heard of a disease outbreak caused by different populations of the same species coming into contact through Milliways?"

"Nope."

How many questions does this guy have? Well, he'll only really start complaining if he gets threatening or keeps him for more than a couple hours.

"To the best of your knowledge has Valanda done business with other foreign entities in Milliways?"

...Nik laughs. "He'd be an idiot not to."

"Has he made any promises to foreign entities about how he intends to govern Ira Sani? For instance, agreeing to act morally?"

"I rather don't know. I'm not joined at the hip with the guy. I made my workshop miles out in the wilderness, for chrissakes."

"What information do you think I would most benefit from learning?"

"I'm not gonna do your speculating for you on something as open ended as that. Also I don't have a clear picture of whatever your goals may be beyond maintaining a stable sovereign government."

"How likely do you think it is that Har will cease to be a peaceful, stable, sovereign nation in the next twenty-four years?"

"...One, maybe two percent. Mostly because with Milliways in play, anything could happen. But I have no reason to fuck this place up and Valanda has a deep fear of fucking this place up from what I could tell. Slavery offends me, but not really on a personal level, because vampires have their squishy moral bits ripped out."

"What does it mean to have your squishy moral bits ripped out?"
