0:00.0	From W.A.B.Y. Z. Chicago, it's This Imperium Life, distributed by Matt Martins and Hunter Donaldson.
0:08.4	I'm Ira Glass, and the theme of today's show is...
0:10.9	The deal is non-binding. We didn't resolve the transaction in the right timing window for it to even be binding.
0:15.4	Do you understand that?
0:16.1	Music by Ben Prunty, featuring Matt Martins and Hunter Donaldson. I'm Haqon.
0:45.4	I'm Haqqqqs, and we just revealed centralized galactic trade.

1:41.3	Somehow, I score five hits, but Muat plays maneuvering jets. Hey, Muwatt, if you give me
1:48.8	four trade goods, I won't play direct hit on your war son. No, that'll just let you get 10
1:55.6	trade goods with your racial tech. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But this way, you'll have a war son to take my home.
2:01.5	I tell you what, instead of that, I'll sell you my direct hit for four trade goods.
