"Do you refer to the part about his dislike for Synth Foods or about his fat wife?

He made a poor attempt at concealing a chuckle.

"I've got to say that Synth Foods aren't very well liked in much of Sirius. I guess they are only really accepted in Liberty. But what would you expect? It's a Liberty company."

Rasmus looked more serious now.

"The government must love them though. Otherwise they wouldn't have been allowed to enter Rheinland. Either there's a food shortage only they can solve or there's some serious lobbying going on here."

"It's hardly beyond Rheinland's government officials to accept bribes though. That government is just as corrupt as Liberty's."

Rasmus felt a moment of unease.

"Don't tell anyone I said that."
