The need for head-to-toe protection when out in the air or ocean of Strat (Old Expanses 0318) has produced a curious cultural twist. People wear head-to-toe clothing at all times, even indoors. Anything that necessitates opening or removing parts of this clothing is considered private and even obscene. One never eats in public, for instance. Medicine is an unpopular profession because of the need for personal contact, and a great deal is done by mechanical means such as medibooths.
