"Hell, I'll kill a man in a fair fight... or if I think he's gonna start a fair fight, or if he bothers me, or if there's a woman, or if I'm gettin' paid - mostly only when I'm gettin' paid." - Jayne, Firefly

"I am like a being thrown from another planet on this dark terrestrial ball, an alien, a pilgrim among its possessors." - Thomas Carlyle

travel (current daydreams)
  • Microchip tracking device to locate lost children, pets, spouse, car keys, vehicle, souls and sense of purpose
  • Space candy (addictive). 0 calories. Some people spend up to $500/month (adjusted for inflation) on this item.
  • Industrial shrapnel. You never you'll need to throw together a deadly IED. For birthday parties, IEDs filled with candy. It's the pinata of the future.
  • Hair swatches for android/sex bot design. Many people find the intimacy of sex to be too crude to be done "publicly" with a peer, so it's conducted with robots and discreet professionals (hookers).
  • Jams. Music. Tunes. Want a sound track? Get one installed. Some cities have noise pollution legislation and quiet hours. Please rock on responsibly.
  • Lights in case of black outs.

  • Black market retinal replicators used to steal vehicles and attain illegal access.
  • Party drugs which convince you and others (via suggestion) that you are another person, object or creature.
  • Blinding spray. Permanent. Acid attacks are common in religious cities. Acid battles ensure when victims attempt to defend themselves by means similar to that of their attackers, cause massive "black outs" and serial blindings.
  • Tiny flasks of liquid delirium which erase all anguish and flood synapses with dopamine, leading to a crash and withdrawal.
  • Robot condoms. Most humans don't have sex with one another, but when they do, it's bound to be countercultural and kinky.

  • Pasties. If you're heading on to an underground club/rave. Some people aren't puritanical at all and don't like to pay for sex...
  • Personalized GPS implanted at birth. With this, you can always be found - living or dead. Disappearing bodies? Kidnappings? Natural disasters that leave victims starving alone for weeks before rescue? Those are all things of the past. So many social media opportunities, too - personal GPS can be fun! Besides that, without personalized GPS tracking, you might as well be dead. You don't exist.
  • Surveillance taps to access all surveillance points and track GPS signals of individuals.
  • Bottled pheromones. "Love Potion Number 9" brand. Used for clubbing. Sold at "The Gypsy" marketplace.
  • Funds. Rations via gov't which double as currency Necessity first was the colonial motto. It was a means of combating debt inflation. We're still at war over the bankruptcy of founding countries long since dissolved.

  • "Pricess U" virtual stylist (only in Lavish colony) provides individual style guides to "pump up your assets" and "master your look".
  • Antigravity shoe tacks (shoe inserts). Climb walls! Not as cool as the commercials make it out ot be, showing people living upside down like bats. All the blood rushes to your head and it's uncomfortable. We didn't evolve for this.

  • Night eye implant viewer. Provides infrared sight options and night sight.
