Arivits shrugs, "I don't see why it couldn't be a disguise, still if 
you're talking about stealing kids it could be the Hooters. There were 
always stories..."

As Arivitis takes about them, Ricardo remembers that  he *has* heard a 
bit about them, a group with religious objections to high technology, 
mainly subsistance farmers or low-tech worlds, clannish, don't mix with 
the rest of society...that's about it. Ricardo's work with the Scouts 
and in the war never brought him into contact with this particular sect, 
but he has run across groups with similar philosophies before.
