Hey Freds:

Maybe I spoke too soon. Come to think of it, maybe we can make a deal. Now that you have your planet back and so on, you must have a burgeoning technological base in full renewal, right?

So how about this: you come up with a skyhook that will keep Mom from drifting down the threads here on the 'Cat, and we of the MOAB will find some volunteers to be your best friends. Maybe a whole LEgion of them!! We have connections with all sorts of interesting, if semi-scrupulous people.
