I do love the smuggler ships XD

Do all the escapees eventually cotton on like this or do some of them go through life never making that realisation?

I like the Gyiik's attitude towards food as well, though I guess it's easy to have an abundance mindset when the goddess of plenty (or their origin planet, whichever) provides seemingly incessantly XD

I think some of the escapees, though likely a rare few, never really understand the generosity. Sadly, those are likely the ones who end up going into therapy once found, because they keep abusing themselves, starving themselves, thinking that they're being "evil" by accepting help. Due to how damaged and brainwashed they are.

It's a process with Deregger Rescuees.

• Get the hell out of Deregger space
• Encounter unreasonable (to them) generosity and kindness
• Attempt to work hard enough to pay it off, according to their old system
• Whoah why is there so much money in my accounts? What's happening?
• What do you mean I have mandatory time off?
• What do you mean I have a tax rebate?
• Finally learn about the system
• Big "Oh" moment
• Rehab initiated for sure.

Gyiiks realised they were in a post-scarcity society and threw a huge party about it XD
