Dialogue

(First interactions)

Thea: Hey, (Mister/Miss)! Are you experiencing issues with your phone such as lagging, overheating, or system-based stoppages? I can help you upgrade your system.

Thea: For just a tiny amount of credits, your phone will gain a new lease on life and its operating system will function smoother than the Star Rail that lines the cosmos...

What kind of upgrade are we talking about?

Thea: Ahem, it's actually about an exclusive piece of technology from my company, and I'm the only person on this planet who can access it.

Thea: I can't reveal too much about it since it's exclusive.

Thea: Anyway, give it a try and see for yourself. And don't worry. I won't charge you if you're not satisfied.

(Pretend to be clueless) Star Rail?

Thea: It's the track on which the Astral Express runs. You must have heard of them, right? Those elusive star-seeking travelers...

Thea: Rumor has it that they were the ones who brought "portable communicators" — known to us as phones — to this planet. But apparently, they don't care about customer service at all. How irresponsible!

Thea: That's why we of the IPC are here to clean up their mess!

Please help me upgrade my phone.

Thea: No problem. I've already helped over two dozen customers.

Thea: Next, I'll access data from the other side of the galaxy and transfer it straight from the IPC's headquarters into your device.

Thea: (Pretending to work hard) Hmmm... Hyaa... Hah! Look, it's done.

And then what?

Thea: And then voilà! Now, enjoy its ultra-smooth operating system!

Thea: Just check it out! Look at its interface and these animations, and experience this perfectly designed haptic pressure sensors and tap-feedback system...

Thea: ...Ahem, sorry, I used to work in the user experience department, so I'm a bit obsessed with these details...

Well, I'm from the Astral Express.

Thea: Wait, you? This... I mean... You know...

Thea: I didn't mean to badmouth you! I'm just... you know... just trying to provide more reliable warranty services for the locals!

Thea: These folks take forever to even unlock their phones. Without professional guidance like mine, they'd fall prey to all sorts of sneaky auto-pay services...

(Subsequent interactions)

Thea: Hey there, (Mister/Miss). If you ever have any questions about phones, feel free to drop by anytime.

Can we talk?

Are you sticking around here?

Thea: Well, someone has to teach the locals how to use these phones. I've already done my best to keep the charges as low as possible.

Thea: Thanks to me, the miners here are getting the hang of it. Isn't that a good thing?

How did you solve the issues with the phones?

Thea: Well... Fine, I can tell you, but this is just between us, alright?

Thea: As you know, all the major operating systems are developed and maintained by the IPC...

Thea: To save computing power, the IPC has marked devices as "discarded" if their system hasn't been updated in a long time. As a result, the owners of those devices can't enjoy the latest features or optimizations...

Thea: Locals may experience issues such as lagging or overheating on their phones, but it's simply because they don't know how to upgrade the system...

So, you're planning to make a fortune out of this?

Thea: Hey, that's hardly the case at all! I swear I was telling you the truth... And to be honest, even a simple system upgrade can be an exclusive gimmick on a remote planet like this.

I'll report this to Topaz.

Thea: No, no! Please don't! I'm just a small-time employee, and all I want is to make ends meet...

Thea: Just please don't tell anyone... Director Topaz threw the book at those troublemakers in the Underworld... I'm just a phone tinkerer who hasn't done anything to put the residents in harm's way.

Thea: ...How about you take this thing for now? The fewer complications the better. Just treat this as the beginning of a new friendship...

I have some questions about the IPC...

What do you make of Topaz?

Thea: Director Topaz? Well, I'm just a low-level employee, and I don't really have a chance to talk with her.

Thea: But according to everyone, she's sociable, loves her work, and more importantly, has a kind heart.

Thea: I think she's probably the least terrible among all the eleven directors in my department.

Are there many planets indebted to IPC?

Thea: I can't say for sure, as I don't have access to certain statistics.

Thea: However, we do have a Marketing Development Department that focuses on bringing new planets into the galactic market.

Thea: Sometimes, those planets will borrow startup funds from us, dreaming of becoming major players in the galaxy in an Amber Era or two.

Thea: However, these planets bite off more than they can chew, and they often end up becoming targets for my department.

How much do you get paid?

Thea: Hey, you see... it's a trade secret.

Just spill the beans!

What's so secretive about it?

Thea: I'm sorry, but I just can't spill the beans on that one!

Thea: It's a totally off-limits topic within IPC, and whoever breaks the rules will be fried... I mean, fired.

Thea: It's not that I'm trying to keep it from you. Go ask anyone else, and they'll give you the same answer.

I have other matters to attend to.

Thea: Drop by anytime!

I have other matters to attend to.

Thea: Drop by anytime!
