"Oh, you know me." Johnny says dryly. "Always gotta be the center of attention." They coast down the street, and the area reminds Johnny of hub worlds and alien ports in their sheer variety of life forms and goods on sale. "This place is a lot more orderly than most cross-planetary places I've been to. But there has to be something illegal going on, I suppose. Can't expect everyone to be bringing the same law from their homes," Johnny remarks. "Gives me something to do, at least. Though with the anti-violence field, it's probably more a question of tracking people down than anything."

He nods in appreciated assent. "They seem like good people if you trust them, but I can probably get on my feet alright. You already gave me a headstart." Literally. "But if I'm going to be spending time here, I might run into them sooner or later. Want to tell me anything about them?"

"Heh, no kidding." He's kind of starting to get Ghost's sense of humor. "Mother Nature isn't always generous with what she gives us. You're just lucky you don't have that problem." With knee structures or otherwise.

Hearing about Blaze's enemy's time tech perks Johnny's interest right up. His own forces were on the receiving end of time weapons before they'd co-opted it for themselves, after all. "What kind of tech are we talking about here?"

But the last statement by Blaze has Johnny thinking over his own response. There's a lot to cover in a few short words. "Well, time travel's a thing, but it's pretty restricted. You need a lot of paperwork and training to even think about it, and that's only on approved jobs only. No messing around in the time stream for personal reasons, otherwise the whole universe is gone. Sometimes a sneckhead escapes custody, flees to the 8th Century and starts messing around, killing ancestors and replacing the timeline, and I'm one of the few certified to take them out with the least fuss. And that's that." He says with a sniff.
