"Stoppit, stoppit, stoppit, stoppit," the voice carried over the hubbub of the crowd. Given that it was a commercial concourse on a nexus station, it was a safe bet that this was yet another Knomira from Deregger space causing a scene. It was the loud, atonal hum that gave Officer Dreng pause.

Loiterers may be charged accordingly."
