In writing this part of the comic I worked out a long, detailed plan whereby Haas could get the gear from Rocco's people without revealing to Rocco where Haas actually lives or what he wants the gear for. The plan was complicated and I found working it out to be fascinating, but I ultimately cut it all from the script because it added almost nothing to the story.
It's much better that Haas says the details can be worked out via email. It makes Haas seem dispassionate, and it keeps the transaction more businesslike.
And no one has to see my (ultimately completely flawed, no doubt) attempt at thinking like a criminal smuggler.

Well, you know, Martians are from Mars and Venusians are from Venus, or something. I'm not really sure where I'm going with this.
