<span class="mu-r">”...Well, all your scores are good. It appears the network and socials peg you as a good fit for social-services and amenity-operative. We're looking for a lot of those around here, especially as the population density increases. I see you studied several management courses, and did some minor work as a veterinarian's assistant?”</span>
<span class="mu-b">”Yes! I love animals- especially Nut Thieves. The service I want to start is actually related just to them!”</span>
<span class="mu-r">”Wait... Unfortunately, I cannot qualify you to open an animal hospital or breeding center here. Your level of education isn't sufficient for-”</span>
<span class="mu-b">”Oh no, I'm sorry, that wasn't what I meant. I want to run a little place, like a shop, but with 'thieves as a centerpiece.”</span>
<span class="mu-r">”Oh. I, uhh, I see. Can you tell me more about that?”</span>
<span class="mu-b">”Yeah! So, people love the critters, but some people are too busy or move around too much to really own one as a pet, you know? So I always thought of a place where people could just interact with one for a bit while they...”</span>
<span class="mu-r">”...While they what?”</span>
Oh. This is awkward. You look away nervously, and suddenly the words catch in your throat. You dumb girl. You never actually <span class="mu-i">decided</span> what kind of business you wanted to run! You always knew you wanted to do something like this- having a place for people to interact with your favorite little pets and friends, but you never went far enough to figure out what the actual purpose of the place should be! Like you can easily imagine someone coming inside, petting a cute critter, enjoying socializing there, and then leaving but...what did they actually go there for? Why did they go inside? Your imagination is turning a blank!
The Hegemony doesn't require businesses or services to turn a profit- in fact, it runs many that operate on a pure loss because of their environmental or cultural benefits. They'd be even more lenient here, on a newly developing urban center. However, even you don't think you could sell this nice man the concept of a place where people just hang out with rodents all day. Even though that place sounds heavenly to you...
No no, you need to actually provide something valuable too. You're imagining the perfect little shop- but what should it actually <span class="mu-i">be</span>?

>Study Hall
