Completely forgot it was my birthday today. My parents called to wish me a happy birthday, and I ended up spilling about the trip to Exbei. Father ripped me a new one for doing something he saw as potentially illegal (a violation of the UP3), and then he got in a debate with mother over the semantics of it all (while still trying to ream me out ( Read more... )

Some trim? I'm not very familiar with slang.

Happy Birthday. If you keep doing stupid things like telling your Dad you violated the UP3, you won't make it to the next one.

Is it technically a violation of the UP3? I mean, you don't know if there was actually any sentient life on the planet, right? (Granted, they could probably nab you on intent because you meant to go to Expel. NEVER TELL YOUR FATHER THAT IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY.)

And did he say anything about your roommate? I mean, there's no way the Federation can just let some kid wander around an unknown planet like that, even if he's not technically under their jurisdiction (...if he's from Expel and can get somewhere like this, what the hell good is the UP3 anyway? That just occured to me).

I hadn't really intended to tell them about it, but they wanted me to go back home and I told them I really wasn't up to using the portal. They demanded to know why. Mom said the same thing you did, and I ended the call while she and Dad were arguing it. She left a message while I was sleeping saying that everything was okay, and that my father said to be careful. It was a close call.

He hadn't gotten far enough in lecturing me to talk about my roommate, but I'm sure it was coming. I didn't tell him that Ashton was still on the planet - otherwise it'd be a different story (with me getting arrested by my own father). You're right about that last point though - if people from underdeveloped civilizations can get here, the UP3 is pretty much obsolete. I'm telling my father that if he asks me about this again.

For someone that made a hobby of breaking the UP3 when he was younger (OH LOOK IT'S ROAK), he sure seems to like it a lot. He'll probably argue that it's not obsolete because we still have a responsibility towards worlds without sufficient magical development to use the Nexus. Or something.
