"Most places you can spend money will let you just tap the card - through a bag or pocket, if you like - on something."

"Okay, but how do I tell what I actually have?"

"For that you want a computer, do you not have one yet?"

"I do not. Seems a bit too fancy for me, honestly."

"Well, that's usually how you tell, but you can probably swap your card for a dedicated device with a readout, if you want."

"I suppose if everyone usually has one... I did use a computer at a library yesterday. Do you know where I would get one?"

"Probably just buttonhole one of the ship's demons, there's three of them and they can make you the kind that needs a brain implant or the kind that doesn't, your call."

"I suppose so. I do feel a bit awkward going around asking for things, especially when I don't know the culture. Thanks for explaining money, by the way."

"You're welcome! You also wanted bussable nature spots, right?"

"Yep. For teaching shamanism. We'll need spots down there eventually but anywhere natural and peaceful is good to start. Not parks."

"Does it matter if the place was terraformed?"

"It sounds like your worlds don't have spirits the same way ours do - Maiar aren't the right thing - so it shouldn't matter, I think."

"Okay, in that case -" The orc can come up with quite a long list of good nature hikes, with and without maintained trails.

He chats with the orc a bit, making small talk, and eventually heads back to the cargo bay, since that is where he last saw a demon (as far as he knows?).

Yup, there is a demon there! "Hiya!" says the demon, who is putting boxes in a bag of holding.

"Hello! I don't know if you've heard, since the gossip on this ship seems to be all on computers, but I'm a shaman. Local magic user from down below."

"I did hear that! What's up, shaman dude?"

"I like talking to people, so I'm saying hi. Wondering what it's like to just make things when you need them. I actually went to Revelation yesterday for a bit, it was lovely- And I do need a computer if I'm going to do things around here but I didn't want to come over just for that."

"Yeah, Revelation's nice! They're even less racist these days. I don't know what it's like to not make things when you need them, I've never been a human!"

"For that matter I don't know what it's like to have grown up in a different city, or been a different species, or been a woman - it's a much bigger deal around here - all these other lives we'll never truly experience. Racist, against demons?"

"Yeah, they had this superstition about us for like a hundred fifty years. You can try species and being a woman if you want, you just go to Cube for it, but I don't think there's any joy on the different city thing..."

"-I hadn't heard of that one. Cube has shape-changing? Something like that would be... Years of work for the best master in the world, just to do it once, for a shaman. I'll have to try it some time."

"Oh yeah, it's neat! Anyway, what kind of computer d'you want?"

"Not the brain kind, maybe a small one? I just need it for h- For banking. Oh, allspeak is a bit odd."

"You can adjust it if it's doing something weird." He hands him a little phone-sized computer.
