CHATTY: "Well, first of all, I have neither family nor home, as I was liberated only recently."

"Ah, you're an android, or a drone?"

"I was born a drone, yes."

"Ah, I see. I think it's good you guys got liberated, actually, because the whole concept is just - mandatory subservience? Just because you were grown in a vat? Seems just alien."

"As alien as humanity living once on a singular planet?" Vincent chuckles loudly.

"Well, it was the corporations that mandated this. Long before the War and in the times of old Federation." He hums and then turns to look at his crew.

"You guys done?" Vincent's crew raises their shot glasses, most of them empty.

"Ah, five more minutes then." He says and turns back to you.

A) CHATTY "Just enough time to have a one little drink extra, don't you agree?"
B) CHATTY: "I'm wondering what exactly made you change your lanes and start visiting less populated places."
C) FLIRTY: "You are really quite something, you know? Suave, handsome, confident, it ruffles my feathers, so to speak~"

CHATTY "Just enough time to have a one little drink extra, don't you agree?"

5*

"Ah, you know, why not. A shot of Grenadiere please." Vincent pulls out his credchip ready before you even pour the shot. Beep-boop goes the scanner. (+10c)

Today Earnings: 778c
Monthly Earnings: 4654.5c


He downs the contents of the glass in one go.

"Thanks."

It feels like you can carry the conversation a bit longer.

A) CHATTY: "I'm wondering what exactly made you change your lanes and start visiting less populated places."
B) CHATTY: "It might be just me but you got a bit uncomfortable when I mentioned my origins, of all things."
C) FLIRTY: "You are really quite something, you know? Suave, handsome, confident, it ruffles my feathers, so to speak~"
D) "Please come again."

(also, in option B, shouldn't it be "It might be just me", not "It might be just be" like it is right now?)

D. he may be chatty, but we don't need to badger him about our backstory or what made him change lanes, he's about to go anyway and with any luck will be back eventually.

"Please come again." Vincent chuckles, and leaves his seat.

"Ah, if you're selling me drinks and then saying goodbyes right afterwards, I might actually do the opposite." With a grin, he turns to his crew and rubs his gloved hands.

"Alright boys and girls, let's move it!" He walks behind his crew, herding it towards the main gate.

It opens, they leave, it closes.

You're busily cleaning the surfaces and putting the glasses when security console notifies you.

Yep - 50/50 is en route to Gamma Urquanii.

Tyomas' ship, the Croissant, is still docked.

You have about 25 minutes before your wetware chip becomes loud again.

A) Enough time for Zirconius!
B) Enough time for some trivia!
C) Let's just go to sleep early!

B we've still got the other guy coming back, might as well stay up a bit longer.

Fair enough

B

Hopefully we are not too wiped out by staying up so late.

He said "a few hours" about 45 minutes ago. Can we get a headstart on sleep and set an alarm to wake us if he opens the airlock to come back to the bar?

You decide to browse the Net in hopes of finding a good article before sleep.

1236USY.7d/1m.2015h

[SLEEP PERIOD HAS BEGUN. SEEK A PREFERABLY COMFORTABLE PLACE TO SLUMBER UNTIL 0215 TOMORROW. NEGLIGENCE TO THIS MIGHT CAUSE YOUR ORGANIC COMPONENTS TO BECOME INEFFICIENT.]

Your wetware chip notifies you just as you finish reading an article about SRC bartending monopoly that it got from New Federation. It is a 'reward' for providing newly revived Federal Marines and Federal Starfleet with both fuel and cheap synthol during the twenty-five years of war against EXO-Lumina and its corporate allies, as well as other 'enemy' polities like People's Republic of Centauria and Serpentis Regime. Apparently, Federal government officials and high-ranking military officials have substantial discounts on SRC synthol and Drink Mixes, too.

You've hoped to find any recipe but there's none.

Oh well!

You turn off the music, dim the lights, and pace off to the slumber pod to get six hours of rest.

As its door closes behind it, you close your eyes even before the aerosols put your brain into sleepy loops.

1236USY.7d/1m.2241h

BEEEEP!
BEEEEEEEP!

You wake up and interrupt the sleep cycle in the pod when the bar alarm rings on the console above your eyes. Someone is requesting your presence at the counter.

You quickly put on your jumpsuit and shuffle off to the bar.

You step behind it and give Tyomas a glance - he is looking as mopey and as sad as he ever was. With obvious addition of a mid-hangover grimace.

"Nighrun." He smacks his lips and pulls out his credchip before you even start pouring the mix.

You add the clear and red and purple synthols, not paying attention to the colorful effect at the bottom of the glass. Neither does Tyomas - he just wants his drinks and he has credits to pay for them. (+126c)

Today Earnings: 904c
Monthly Earnings: 4780.5c


He takes a long swig of the mix, emptying almost half of the glass.

"Sorry for being a grump before." He mumbles quietly, placing the glass on the counter and rolling it between his fingers.

"It wasn't that bad."

"Oh, trust me, I know what kinda eyesore I can be." With a sigh, he takes the glass, looks into it, and puts it down.

"So, you wanna hear it?"

"Hear what?"

"About my bad life?" He looks away from the glass and at you with an unsure smile. "My wetware chip tells me with all the warning messages that I'm sufficiently sloshed to pour my heart over to random barkeep who wants to listen."

A) "Sure."
B) "I've changed my mind - plus it's middle of my sleeping period."
