[This definitely gets his attention. He sits up straighter now, as a he slowly breaks out in a grin.]
Yes! Yes, of course I do. No one could appreciate it more than I. And we already have motorcycles here! Well, the Empire does, their technological pursuits clearly being in the right direction. There's one in the Observatory. I've already taken it apart, because I had to. Every piece of machinery I get to disassemble here makes my heart soar to new heights! I had to know how a world without combustion engines or fuel oil constructed their vehicles! I even put it back together and took it out on a ride. For a date. I recommend that everyone do this.
[Graham quickly taps his fingers on the ground as he thinks out loud.]
If building a new one was so easy, I'd have my own by now! But we've got one, meaning there has to be more out there. Or the parts to make them. I just need to get my hands on them. How cruel would it be if they were all locked away in the Empire!?
