With all the chemists in Eureka that shouldn’t be too difficult to arrange, I should think they’d consider it a challenge. Especially if I mentioned that I’d already spoken to others about it(Including whoever their greatest rival is) Or if I said something like _“If it’s too hard for you please don’t feel like you’re under any obligation.”_

Can you put me through to Special Circumstances (The Culture)? My mission is more or less act as a beat cop - travel around the universe in a mind-ship, undercover but recording all the goings on and making sure everythings OK.

I’d need a full culture body workup of course, but that’s something they can do to me themselves after I arrive.

What can I bring back for you are a thank you present?

Stuff Special Circumstances - I’d like a job as a Culture Referer, please. Same perks, and a much lower chance of being decapitated or drowned in shit.

Or, if you can only sneak one person into any given universe, can I have a job as a field agent for the Polity, please? I can cope with AIs, and getting myself uploaded into a Golem body sounds like a good career move.
