Otherwise if the planet is that starved for resources what are the chances that some of the people living there have gone a bit feral and might take issue with visitors. Not that that's a reason to avoid it.'
'Anyway, food and cheap guns should be fairly easy to pick up. We can stop off somewhere on the way.'
