"Princess Cruise lines, let 'em through."
People still wanted to take vacations, but there was this feeling that Earth wasn't safe. A 30 year long war against aliens tends to do that, but the off world colonies had never been hit once, there were also fewer parahuman gangs. There was a feeling that space was safe, a feeling reinforced with every attack and every time some villain went crazy. Princess Cruise lines, hell a lot of companies figured out that they could give guided tours throughout the Solar system. The World tree in Seattle connected you to everything except Venus and Titania, so there was a lot of places to spend your vacation at.
When they got home they would show everyone the pictures and tell everyone how worldly they were. I didn't personally mind if people want to have a good time, more power to them, as long as they followed the laws I was... fuck.
"Call up Don."
The spanish delegate, we talked alot.
"What is is this time?"
"I'm forwarding the message."
"Ugh one of ours, I'm going to look through the files and... yeah you can't let him through."
"But he's a citizen of Spain."
"He used dynamite on a coral reef, one of OUR coral reefs, we get one, one chance to get prebuilt coral reefs, any recovery takes the normal amount of time which is, you know decades."
"Really?"
"Yeah really, he's banned from Europa for that stunt, he's lucky he wasn't put in prison."
"And he's not in prison how?"
I heard a disgusted sigh.
"He's related to the Mayor of Madrid, distantly but it's enough to keep him out of a cell."
"What do you want me to do?"
"Send him to Pluto."
I blinked.
"What?"
"Send his ass to Åluto, no one gives two shits about Pluto, if he's going to destroy something let it be on a world no one cares about."
I though about it.
"Ok."
I sighed.
"Attention, Ship A-309 is in direct defiance of a court order, it and it's crew will be sent to Pluto."
I leaned back, it was someone else's problem now.
