"Prolly other Amaliens and Ferengi and people who have built big cities before."

"Are there ones that have sixty-five million people? Who speak all different languages, too... and want kids."

"Not sure! There are cities with millions and maybe tens of millions? And where the people want kids - only the amalien spe-cies doesn't want kids really. Some places have lots of different languages and lots of people. Though we could also solve that with Cryptophasia which will let people trans-late easily."

Luciene taps on his datapad some.

"The capital city of the Ferengi has 253 million people. They mostly speak the same language, though there's a 23 million person district where a bunch of language are spoken and another city on the planet with 48 million people that also has a bunch of languages."

"Wow! Okay. Maybe it'll be fine."

"There's also a large amount of extra land I've purchased near the south pole we could use."

"Well, but we wouldn't season there."

"Why not?"

"There... aren't seasons, at the poles. Or equator."

"What do the seasons do 'xactly?

"They feel different and we only have babies in spring? - I don't understand how you can not already know this."

"I know that, I mean how do the seasons make you do that."

"I haven't the foggiest, I'm not green."

"Is really weird how you only know things if you have the right hair color."

"I didn't go to green school where they teach green stuff!"

"We can look into information on seasoning - I'm sure Lucien can find relevant information for you Vira."

"Possibly there are other uses for the extra land regardless?"

Lucien makes a note to send Vira papers on seasoning that he can find.

"We could prob-ably farm there? It's very irri-gate-able."

"If you already have robots, sure."

"We have some but also lots of Amaliens would help."

"If you've got lots of amaliens who wanna be polar farmers, sure."

"Bunch would do it if it's need-ed to help, so it'll make a base-line solution we could try to improve on."

"How many of you are there?"

"There are 134,203 amaliens - the spe-cies, not citizens of the expanse. I think maybe a ten or twenty thousand would be enough to feed the reds with quick to setup infra-struct-ure."

"That doesn't sound like a lot but I don't know enough about farming to dispute it! Let alone space farming."

"Farming is really efficient in terms of number of farmers at this point, most of the jobs are over-seeing various bits of automated labor."
