[ He immediately pours himself another glass, not downing this one but sipping it as he thinks that over. Obviously a lot is about to change for him in the next fourteen years. Losing his first mate, his ship... His way of life, from the sounds of it.

Guess it really is time for him to retire. ]

"Respectable," you say? Tell me about this mining operation.

It's on Bespin, in a colony called Cloud City. You won it off some poor shmuck, far as I know, and you took control over the tibanna gas mining. When Leia and I got there the whole place was thriving under you, and you kept talking my ear off about meetings and overheads. [A shrug.] I tuned you out after a while, you were real enthusiastic about it.

[Which had been a surprise, for Han, who'd known the scoundrel simmering under the respectable businessman. Then again, he supposes he shouldn't have been.]

Word of advice, just in case you might remember this if you ever get back: if the Empire comes calling, tell them I double-crossed you and took your ship too, and you haven't heard anything from me since. Otherwise you'll have to make a deal with them, and even then they'll find a way to rip the colony right out from under you.

Mining colonies are the worst. [ A life of business meetings and micromanaging other people sounds like the worst thing to Lando, but apparently he'll change a lot in the next fourteen years. ]

I'll try to remember. Can't promise anything. I'm pretty sure that Porter doesn't let us keep our memories, but I'll try.
