You decide to read on bartending trivia - and quickly find the bookmark on an article you left last morning.


Apparently, SRC prepared a special promotional drink for the opening of the Pacifica Resort Planet to general populace in 1184USY. It was meant to invoke the feeling of tropical atmosphere, the taste of fruits doused in sweet synthols with a little punch and sprinkle of fruity sourness.

While Pacifica went on being a reasonably popular visitation goal for space tourists, the drink itself didn't fare just as good: after all, it is synthol mix, and the multitude of flavors didn't really help - as far as for some of the drinkers complaining it ended up being 'too strong and not fruity enough' compared to the advertisements of it.

Oh hey, they've listed the drink itself!

PACIFICA '84: 133c

3 Shots of Wóda
Shot of Tropico
Shot of Sunset Capri
Dash of Cherrybomb

Serve in a tank glass with ice and lemon slice.

A) Nice, maybe we can find another recipe in another trivia article?
B) Enough trivia, time for actual studying of maintenance!
C) A chapter of Zirconius to break the monotony?

You scream.

You're not sure why. As a drone build, you don't have that much of emotional issues that need an energetic outlet of any sort - the wetware chip keeps hormones and neurons in check.

But screaming is what you decide to do, so you scream. You scream loudly, proudly, heavily and softly, melodically.


Strangely, it felt good.

A) Now back to the manuals!
B) Time for bartending trivia!
C) More Zirconius Series!

Thanks for vigilance, fixed!

"Prince, can I open this door, too?"

"What's behind that door?"

"My... my quarters."

"I see. Orf, open that door."

Orf went to fidget with the lock, and soon pushed the door open.

Inside, a pair of bloodstained young people stood over some dead servants and children, the man holding a sword, the woman holding a knife.

"You sure are pleasing to the eyes, is this spacesuit of your custom-made?" Nikel smacks his lips.

"Oh, you've noticed~? It was made by this Rexon fellow on Alpha Morganii III." He drinks the remainder of the shot and puts the glass down. "Would you believe, he does not manufacture clothes, or even holo-weaves them, or anything. He uses nothing but hyper-spindle and laser stapler to create these perfect-fit clothes. No seal breaks, no loose bits of cloth, it is just perfect. The cloth used is standard space polymer but he used some sort of organic thread for the outer layer and it just shines. The man knows his trade well~"

A) "I thought manual work was rendered obsolete by now, what with holo-machinery being abundant."
B) "I must say I am intrigued by seeing 'extra flirty' down there, are you indeed such a flirt?"
C) "I'm glad that I was able to score near your preferences. Anything else you like in particular?"
D) "How's being space courier goes for you?"
E) "Want something else to drink?"
