Since he had delegated out as much as possible already, Max decided to take a stroll through the area and find out why nobody was in the streets, even during what should be the busiest shopping hours, right after the day shift ended and the workers were on their way home. The population details showed a wide mix of species, with roughly half of the residents being humans, so it shouldn't be a quirk of the species in the area, but he wouldn't know for sure until he got there.
The transit pod took him to the stop exactly as expected, and Max stepped out into the street.
His ears were immediately blasted by the incredibly loud music playing from the storefronts nearby, and he understood why nobody walked this area if they could avoid it.
