The tone of the most recent posts suggested that, e.g., the peasants
would be put to death for befouling His Nibs' private bath (filled only
with the purest Moran spring water, you know) with their sweaty peasant
bodies.  Ditto touching the food.  Though I suppose that if we've
descended to the level of silliness where the noble orders a full course
meal, eats one croissant and commands the rest to be disposed of, the
"table scraps" /would/ be quite sumptuous...

Some jobs/working conditions aren't worth any amount of pay, especially
when the workers aren't held in bondage and have skills that would get
them much better postings elsewhere.  This covers most starship crew.

If we are to consider the level of accomodations available at TL 8 and
circa -2500, may I ask whether the crew is also allowed a rum ration to
keep their water potable, and sufficient citrus to ward off the scurvy?

Though I suppose the question is moot, as per your suggestion, I'm out.
