"You don't have to get drinks when you come visit, James. You can come to the bar for different reasons, too." James grins.
"I am contemplating those reasons, yes." He takes a sip of his drink, eyeing you a little, and then he puts down the glass.
"But, I don't want to distract you from your next buncha patrons. After all, its gonna look bad if you get a bad review on your first day of work because you were busy flirting, no? If you don't mind, I have something to do now." He pulls out a large pad and taps on it, intermittently sipping on his drink.
You wipe the counter clean.
Shortly after the console informs you that "Minuet" has docked with the station and begun refuelling procedures, the main gate to the airlocks opens and comes out a pair - a young blonde lady in a jumpsuit, and her android companion, who clearly didn't want - or couldn't - invest in synthetic skin layers. His joints and servos are in plain view, and his face is rather sharply triangular and artificial looking, and his weird looks are further accented by a mop of synthetic black hair on top.
At least he is also wearing a jumpsuit.
The pair moves to the counter, giving James a curious glance. He smiles and lifts his near-empty drink at them in a salutation, but says nothing. The blonde-haired girl nods, then turns to you.
"Hey, barkeep." The girl says with a grin. "Nice to know that the bar has a tender. One Rat Oil, please." She seats herself, while her android buddy does not. The girl turns to look at him.
"You want anything, Chester?"
"I am. Fine for now. Thank you!" You nod and connect your console to the SRC Drink Mix Database... again.
What you prepare is a rather thick mixture with a neon green coloration to it. Poured over crushed ice gives it another layer of slickness, and you have no doubts that's how its name came about. You serve the oily-looking green drink to the blonde girl, and she lets you scan her strawberry-red credchip. (+46c)

"I have detected. Numerous power network. Irregularities on this station! Is it safe? To consume drinks in here." The android says, and the blonde girl looks at you, puzzled.
"I had some trouble with the neon lightning, so I had to improvise and install a bypass." The android's eyes blink with myriad of tiny blue lights.
"I estimate twenty-six point four. Chance of a catastrophic malfunction in the next. Seven universal days. This is not a safe place. To consume drinks!" The girl snorts and takes a sip of her Rat Oil.
"Chester, you worry too much." The android crosses his arms and gives the Agustina a stern look.
"But miss Akrylla. Worrying! Is part of my job!!"
"Hey, I've been here for a while, and nothing happened so far." James chimes in, making Agustina giggle.
"See, Chester? Cool guy says its cool, so its cool!" She coughs after taking another sip of her drink.
A) Nod in agreement.
B) "Maybe a drink will help Chester here calm down?"
C) "Leave it to me to soothe his synthetic nerves~"
