Strategia sets himself down next to Jack.
"So Jack... you can't feel the effects of alcohol? Well then, you should try one of my own home-brewn Dimensional Rupture specials... I've been negotiating with Hank about giving him the recipe, but I think that a fleet of COMCA tankers full of nothing but alcohol is not NEARLY enough payment. Wanna try one? You'll be sure to feel the effects... you do know the Drushocka are totally immune to the effects of any narcotic compound? Well, I gave a Drushocka a sip once, and its eyes were launched from their sockets and it gave a scream loud enough to shake the moon it was standing on apart. When I got it on board, all it said was "Another... Another...". Well? Wanna try one?"

"It's not the chemistry that causes it; it's a fundamental independance of mind from body; not that I really liked the effects even when I was subject to them. Besides...."
Jack takes a clean straw, and pokes it into the dimensional rupture. It pokes back out in four different directions, all of which are straight.
"That thing can't be good for anyone."

"Who ever said it was? Oh, of course I forgot to tell you... The Drushocka in question was left in an uninhabited trinary system in an immobile ship to see what would happen. We left, and detected a quantum rift - when we came back the system had 354 suns, apparently from 96 dimensions."
