At the time of posting this, I'm nearly done with season C. Neat.
He growled, tapping his free claw on the table. The building he was in had many more creatures than himself, all doing one thing or another. Part of his mask pulled back, revealing a mouth full of cheshire cat-like teeth, and he drank from the glass in his claw. When he placed it back down, the door opened. The mask went back into place as the figure entered. Some of the other patrons looked over to the figure as it walked over to him.
The figure was a massive orange skinned humanoid wearing dark solar-colored armor. Two horns came from near his jaws and pointed downwards and spikes decorated his armor. It stopped in front of the table he was at, took out a device and set it on the table.
"Hello, SevenSeven," the figure said.
"Vulkanus," he replied, staring at him. Vulkanus sat down across from the Sotoraggian with a thin yellow creature with dark yellow mask and wings and wearing a red uniform coming over to them.
"Would you like anything, sir?" the yellow creature purred, holding a tray under one arm.
Vulkanus looked at the creature and asked, "Do you have any liquid solar?"
"We have the cube and fragment variants of solid solar, but not liquid solar, sir," the creature answered.
Vulkanus hummed before saying, "I'll be fine." The creature nodded before floating off.
"What did you want to see me for, Vulkanus?" SevenSeven asked, tapping the glass on the table.
"In the Bounty Hunter Code set by Pyros and Galvan B, what is specified as an item retrieval and a guarding duty?" Vulkanus asked.
"Item retrieval is getting something someone ordered in advance or something was lost or left on a relatively dangerous planet but they can't get it themselves," SevenSeven started. "Bounty hunters can't guard stuff unless it's someone of royalty or high status like a president, but even then it always has to be more than one. And before you ask, the only times item guarding isn't illegal is if it's considered worth a million or more tayden per weighthold."
Vulkanus was silent for a moment before asking, "What if said item doesn't have value in taydens due to the planet not following the tayden system?"
"Translate the price into taydens, idiot," SevenSeven scoffed. "Not that hard with the Extranet tools out there."
"Earthen iron," Vulkanus stated.
"As far as I care, it's identical to Andesiton iron," Seven Seven replied.
"There's a difference between iron from Andesite and Earth," Vulkanus stated.
"Does it look like I care?" SevenSeven hummed.
"Mana," Vulkanus smirked. The Sotoraggian was silent, causing him to follow up, "Which means Earthen iron falls under the Mana Material Laws."
"The Bounty Hunter Code's Mana Amendment," SevenSeven replied.
"Oh?" Vulkanus inquired.
"Unless provided with an item that allows mana resistance by whoever hires them, bounty hunters aren't allowed to do missions involving mana," SevenSeven answered. "Makes up for the whole mana material loophole." Vulkanus then placed a starbit-shaped crystal covered in amber. The Sotoraggian glared at the item before gurgling, "The towerspark is this?"
"An Amberline Flower from Paleontamba," Vulkanus answered. When the Sotoraggian tilted his head, he elaborated, "Amberline items are charms made on Paleontamba for protection against different diseases and emitter-like powers. The Amberline Flower is protection against mana."
