[These old men can't be expected to do all that walking, it's hard on their knees.]

Unfortunately, my portfolio seems to have been misplaced in the transition. [Along with his Cardassian-ness.] But ever am I committed to quality. One has to be, when competing with replicators.

[He tosses that nugget out there, to see if this man bites. Fishing for information on what sort of engineering he's capable of.]

Ah, wonderful to know that the spirit of collaboration is alive and well.

[amaure]

[Exactly!]

Replicators, hm? My, that would indeed put a generous amount of pressure on you to keep up. Though, I have found that a living artisan's work always carries more charm than that produced by a machine. There's more character to it, something unique when there's heart put into the work.

[Yeah, he knows what that is. Maybe not by that name, but that alone is enough to piece together what it is.]

From whence I hail, collaboration was the heart and soul of my people. Ever do I strive to maintain such, even so far removed as I am.

[neverendingsacrifice]

Indeed, a replicator cannot reproduce skill and artistry. You cannot have a conversation with a computer about what precisely you're looking for, a computer cannot make suggestions to fit the tastes and needs of a client...all things that any good tailor should pride themselves on.

[An advanced enough civilization then...at least partially, he'll have to have further conversations to glean more.]

I know precisely what you mean. My people, too, value placing the needs of the society ahead of our own--of course, we all have our individual strengths, but they should be used to the betterment of all.

[amaure]

Yes, the experience is all part of it. There is no true attachment to one's adornments should it be pressed off of a machine without any true engagement. Our attire should be as much a part of ourselves, as we are. Just as a tailor is likewise their craft, their creations, their legacy.

[Okay theater boy, calm down.]

Ah, then we are more alike than I thought. That we would come from societies with similar ideologies is a sweet comfort. Many here do not believe in such philosophies, thought I hesitate to call them selfish or greedy...they certainly have a very centralized way of viewing the world.

[neverendingsacrifice]

Precisely! Sacrificing craft for convenience is all well and good until you've lost the craft entirely.

[Don't calm down, theater boy! There's artistry and skill to appreciate!]

A shame. There's no greater calling among my people than service to the State, and the family a close second. It's only right to leave the best possible legacy to our children, and theirs.

[Garak is...exceedingly optimistic in that he actually has this belief of his people, not all of them do. Alas.]

[amaure]

Ah, how good it is to find a man of both artistry and sense, like a balm to the very soul. A rare combination, one I find of equal value. I shall look forward to seeing your work firsthand.

[Well if you insist!!]

Much do I agree, mine were a people of the people. Our loyalties were to the greater good of all, that we might together rise to the best of life's gifts through our combined endeavors and selflessness. Such community, such fealty to ensuring the best of all futures for those yet born...it cannot easily be replaced.

[neverendingsacrifice]

I believe our association will be very prosperous. I look forward to it. Perhaps we should meet for lunch, to get to know one another better.

[New bff, yay!]

No, it truly cannot. I've tried to impress this on some human friends of mine, but sadly their perspective is dogged by limiting stigmas and preconceptions. A tragedy, truly.

[amaure]

Ah, you took the words out of my mouth. Meeting for lunch sounds absolutely marvelous.

[He certainly is in need of more allies, that's for sure.]

'Tis but a consequence of their fleeting and fragile lives. But 'tis no matter, we can only do what we can to help them see the error of their ways. After that, 'tis entirely up to them.

[neverendingsacrifice]

Wonderful, I do so enjoy having lunch with friends, and my regular companions seem to have not joined me in this new world. It's a favored pastime of my people, to share meals and conversation.

[He looks delighted at the prospect. So far he really doesn't see any reason to not ally himself with Solus, so.]

How true. There are some that listen to the wisdom of their elders, but sometimes it doesn't particularly seem like it.

Have you been here long?
