Way I hear it, it's pretty different from everywhere. [She doesn't find that a bad thing. Other worlds are better off being nothing like her own.]

Huh. Most people I know don't have parents anymore to give 'em anything, let alone a name. [She starts to chuckle, then cuts herself off when she realizes that's kind of dark.] Is that why your interested in bein' a tech-brain, so you can live up to the name?

No. No way. You can't take someone's name. Not back home. A name's not just what people call you, in the Zone's it's tied into who you are. Takin' the name would be like stealin' their identity.
