What if Pacato chose a different career path, once peace was achieved, and the locals taught to fend for themselves? His travels might take him to glamorous planet-wide cities famed for their prosperity and excess, where not even his training in stoic detachment is immune to the pleasures and indulgences that more peaceful times enable. Pacato's musical talents get the attention of wealthy patrons, leading to him bumping elbows and performing with galactic superstars on pleasure yacht cruises. Going by the stage name Platinum Pulsar and donning a more flamboyant and eye-catching outfit, Pacato's rising fame can easily be tracked by how often he has to size up his belts.
