"Oh, that's later than us, it's 2175 at home."

"That could be it then, the world you're familiar with is just earlier."

"Well, not just, I don't think it's plausible for Earth to just kind of forget daeva - that's demons and a couple other species - exist."

"It doesn't seem plausible to me either, but there are people who claim that demons are real and scientists are hiding them, and it doesn't seem less plausible than their being right about the first part by coincidence."

"Nah, I don't buy it. We're common knowledge. The level of conspiracy you'd need would be completely impractical, and it's not even clear why you'd want to do it, we're too economically important."

"If you say so. I don't have a great idea of how how hard cover-ups are, and you're right that I'm no economist."

"It sounds like possibly you could use some more economic importance around here."

"I definitely expect everyone on this station would have a better life if they were more employable, if that's what you mean."

"No, no, the thing you want isn't jobs, it's wealth. Different and separable things."

"So 'economic importance' is just economist speak for being rich? I probably shouldn't be surprised. We could definitely use more wealth here, yes."

"Yeah! Who would I talk to about finding a good place to build my own nicer space station?"

"I don't know. It's not something I've ever had reason to look into. I'd probably start with a web search."

"Name a nice model of local internet capable device."

"Moreira PT12?"

Ta-da! Will it connect to local wifi by itself?

No.

"And how does one connect to the web for any searching one might do?"

Isaac will demonstrate the process.

Does his device connect now or is it being rejected for creation-de-novo crimes.

It appears to connect now.

Yay. And what does searching for 'start your own space station" yield?

Companies advertising help with the process, mostly. Also a magazine article offering tips on the process, a magazine article talking about why it's a good idea, construction companies, 'Orbital distribution' companies which appear to offer specifically the service he's looking for, a computer game and a bank that mentions it as something their loans are useful for.

Orbital distribution! Tell Cam about your services, orbital distributors.

Orbital real-estate sale and registration for businesses (or occasionally for private individuals), sometimes advertising specialisation in particular ranges of distance from the sun, in specific ranges of space-station mass, or close to and on a similar orbit to some other space station. Clearly targeted at people wanting to build space stations. Prices are presented which vary by mass and distance to the sun (heavier is always more expensive, but cost increases less than linearly with weight). Most companies seem to sell real-estate specifically in the Inner Solar System. Purchases can be made online.

Damn, he needs money.

"Hey, do you happen to know where somebody could get a lot of of money by selling objects - not, ideally, weapons - to somebody who won't ask too many questions?"
