I admit, I've yet to try the communicator function that would let us speak directly to them--or to their inbox, as seems more likely. Somehow I do not know if I am quite up to it.

[Oh, he could complain, certainly, but in his experience that doesn't tend to be very productive.

He takes another sip of tea.]

A reality show, if you have those where you're from. We were never certain if there were actually any viewers or if that part was all a fabrication, but it seems the Agrii were watching after all. I can't say it's a comfort.

It seems as though it may simply be an exercise in frustration.

[ Things would get lost in translation, quite literally in this case. Garak has a feeling that there are much better things to spend their time on. ]

We don't. Some have tried to explain it to me, but I confess I have a difficult time imagining it. Regardless, the concept isn't very unlike what we are dealing with here. We can't really know for certain that all this wasn't engineered by them to the last detail.

It's probably for the best that your society is not in the late-stage capitalist phase of profiting off voyeurism, especially without the subjects' consent.

Even so, I'm inclined to believe the Agrii are what they say they are until we learn otherwise. This does all seem like an act of ignorance rather than malice.

Indeed, I consider myself fortunate. The humans I have met have long moved past that stage, as well.

[ The need to own, to consume and to profit, ah... that will always remind him more of the Ferengi. It's a wonder how they haven't sold each other out to extinction. ]

I think I will remain the skeptical of the two. If nothing else I'll be pleasantly surprised if and when I'm proven wrong.

[His eyes widen, interested.] Have they? Good for them. One of my fathers was convinced they'd destroy themselves long before that point.

[And then he shakes his head to clear it.] That's a good attitude as well. that way, we can be prepared either way, can't we?
