    Summary

    In negotiations, you always start out asking for more than what you want. That’s why Beetlejuice asked for Charles’ firstborn - he didn’t really want the man’s teenage daughter, just the bargaining chip. But apparently he overvalued the kid.

    Summary

    Techno walked up the path and sat on the steps. All the lights were off. He didn't knock or ring the bell. He pulled his phone out and called Wilbur.

    "Tech?" Wilbur answered after the third ring, sounding tired.

    "Hi Wil." Techno said. "Can you let me in?"

    ..

    or Techno can't stop going over to his best friend's house, even when he knew they'd get sick of him too.

    Summary

    Alien’s were oblivious things.

    Scoring a job with the Astral All Hands Company was scarily easy. After stealing a communion device, clothes to hide himself and threatening low life alien criminals into making him fake ID’s Techno was all set. No one asked twice about the fake planet that was listed on his ID or why they haven’t heard of it.

    With all this in mind, Techno concludes that aliens are oblivious. It has to be in their nature to write things off because there’s so many species around, coming and going. The SBI crew was like everyone else in that regard. The second he stepped foot on their ship they acted as if he was always there. Like he was something dancing in the background having finally come to life.

    But of course now that he’s living with them it’s hard to keep them oblivious. To keep them away from the truth. But he tries, even if it slowly becomes useless.

    Or: The four times Techno keeps his human heritage a secret and the one time he learns what it really means to be human.
