"Um, I'm sure there are a lot of answers I'd find satisfying but wouldn't think of because I'm not used to, uh, doing things non-antagonistically, but like, a way to petition the government for things? A place where politically-minded individuals gather?"

Hmmm. Search "contact government representative's office"?

There's a form for submitting feedback to the Beaumont-Kalidasa System/玄武 Administration Office. 

"Like this?"

"That seems like a good first--oh man you know what we should try to find out, you and I both have really different magic and we didn't find any reference to magic in the school books but this seems like a good place to see if we can find anything out, like, if there isn't any local magic at all then it gets harder to not sound crazy."

"I mean we can prove it but yeah." She looks up magic.

"We can prove it but like, in person, not in a feedback letter thing." 

There's reference to superstition and an occasional problem where exceptionally backwards settlements decide witchcraft exists and lynch someone about it and "Reavers."

"I guess we could do magic in front of a camera and tell them when and where to look. This looks like not much magic if any..." Reavers?

Reavers are a spacer myth. Some people say they're magic of some kind; others that they're just normal people who went crazy. Either way they're supposed to be horrible rapist cannibals that attack lone spaceships out on the Rim. 

"That could work! I wonder if we can find a camera somewhere there aren't actual people and I can turn into a giant crab."

"Something like that, yeah. When we're ready." About how many spaceships are there in operation.

Millions. 

Wow! Population of the 'verse?

46,927,459,000

Wow! She supposes that stands to reason. What's transit time like between planets? Ticket prices?

Transit time between planets (and inhabited moons) can be anywhere from hours to weeks, depending on how close together they are. 

Hmmm supposing she doesn't care to travel steerage what would it cost to get to, say, a Core world from here if she wished.

Depends on how fast she wants to get there; if she's alright with taking a while longer, she can make multiple jumps between intermediate planets somewhat cheaper and maybe pay some of the cost in plat if she wants; if she wants a direct flight, it'll cost about as much in creds (based on what she's paid for things so far) as a flight to China would in 2006. 

"Okay, we can get out of here on a not totally ridiculous number of pearls."

"That is good to know. What number would be considered ridiculous."

"I'd be really sick of the sensation after a few batches of fifty."

She makes a face. "Makes sense." 

"Or maybe I'd get used to it, I guess. Still."

"Still. Anyway. I think I'm ready to either find a hotel or a camera no one else's looking at whenever you are."

"Already? Really?"

"--I mean, I don't--know what else there is to do with an internet, I guess; I have the immediate answer to the question I had..."
