Wait for some customers to arrive, and take them to a table or booth, whichever they prefer.

((So DO I have my communication ball thingy?))

You do. In fact, you are the only one who has an inventory so far. (1 personal communication device, one Tuxedo)
The others have things, but what hasn't been specified yet.
I suppose Thorimus' Free Bound could be considered inventory.

Here's a new character:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Is this one alien enough?

Not really. You have a humanoid creature, with no specific attributes, that has an unpleasant culture. Also, I believe I would disallow that character as security officer - background checks and all.

Ah. Back to work. I love this jo-Wait. Oh god, this radiation is starting to screw with my Core. C'mon, think murderous thoughts...Think murderous thoughts... Okay. I'd better get out of here. Best way to do that without being shot to little bits is to check on my assignments.
Leave radiation room, or get my assignments in whatever way I do.

Alright! we now have 4 actions. e are waiting on three, unless Slothman400 wants to remake his alien again.  :-[   :P

Can everyone PM me their timezone and likely posting schedule? I would like to put that in the second post, so we all have a vague idea whether a person hasn't posted because they are asleep, busy, or something else. Plus, it will help me keep from going stir crazy and demanding hourly updates  :o (I wouldn't really :-X).

Well, let's say you're going away from Earth on huge spaceship and suddenly shit goes wrong and you have Super Mutants. Social Experiments prepared them for this.

My schedule is currently non-existent. If I haven't posted yet, assume I'm doing the same thing as last time if it would make sense. Otherwise, do something that either a) makes sense or b) involves destroying someone or something horrifically.

Ok Go do job. Forget pants, totally not necessary.

Also I think I am Eastern time? I actually have no idea which timezone I am, and I have a kinda irregular schedule anyway....still you could always look up my stats page and figure out when I'm likely to be on by that :P

Check as to the location of my swabbie duties for today.
(6) Checking the message boards, you activate the wrong icon, and end up with the complete maintenance request list for the Station. The information you are after is in there, somewhere.

Move to supervision point, assess current state of breeding and projects in motion. Also check life support status.
(4) You arrive at the supervision point as usual.
(3) you get a vague sense of how the projects and requests are coming along.
(3) Some important food harvester batches are rather behind schedule, and There seems to be a problem with a recently activated group of
atmospheric moisturizers - they tend to absorb the moisture, swell up, and fall to the ground with an unfortunate splat. This is causing some disturbance in the recreational parks, as well as in the farm sectors.
(5 + 1) your practiced eye takes in the life support situation for the Formers throughout the station. (4) All is well.

Wait for some customers to arrive, and take them to a table or booth, whichever they prefer.
(1) after a rough night, you wake with difficulty, eventually making your way to the breakfast area of your cabin. There, you wait ... for someone. Seems you might have forgotten som - you are reminded of what you forgot by an incoming transmission from the Cafeteria - work! you arrive quite late - breakfast has been going on for a while, and there is a small crowd around the entryway, waiting to get in. Seeing your tuxedo, they approach you and begin chittering, groaning, and cawing, all at once. (6-1) your translation device manages to translate everything, all at once. You get the idea that these clients are (1-1) rather furious.

Leave radiation room, or get my assignments in whatever way I do.
(6-2) Irritated by how happy the sight of the giant, powerful, and bright reactor that fuels all the Station makes you, you hastily exit the viewing room of the ship. (3) you immediately encounter a large, wide Sauroid creature - one of your two escorts. He gives you the news - the Station is processing the paperwork to send The FireBug out on another resource mining run. They just need some information from you on the progress of some repairs to The Firebug before they can release it back into duty. This time, at least, the damages were not your doing. (There also seems to be some unexplained delay on the part of Harbor Command this morning.)

Go do job. Forget pants, totally not necessary.
(3) Delayed by some familial interactions, you arrive at work on time, though in a bit of a rush, and without your lunch.
(6) you also arrive without your pants, and without several other pieces of your standard outfit
(1) While bodily modesty may not be an issue for your species, sadly, your pants were absolutely necessary today - your datapad was in them, with all the information for the day's cargo loading and unloading, permissions, and other necessary components.

As this is more of an extension of the previous action, I'm gonna go ahead and roll for it now.
(5) you close out the unnecessary information and are presented wit ha list of cleaning duties prioritized by severity of mess / urgency of need.
you find:
1) a chemical spill in one of the toxic breathers' enclaves in Ring Gamma
2) a waste disposal back-up / overflow in the underwater region of Ring Beta
3 An unknown blockage reported in one of the maintenance shafts in Ring Beta. this one is in a low gravity / low atmosphere area.
4) a separate, smaller overflow elsewhere in Ring Beta (no information on whether they are part of the same waste system)
5) a build-up of caustic crust on the walls of another toxic enclave in Gamma Ring
6) Some contaminants tracked from somewhere into One of the habitation zones in Gamma Ring
7) Numerous standard mud / grime / grease maintenance requests throughout the Station
8) some trivial domestic cleaning chores throughout the Station

Depending on the timeline of events / the need for interaction between player characters, I may roll turns individually like this in the future, especially when the actions in a turn take a varied amount of time. Three of you had to move to your locations, (two being delayed), one merely moved from one room to another, and one simply looked at his datapad. (And one hasn't posted yet). Sound good to you guys?

((Sounds cool. Whatever works for you.))

Oh, fuck. Uh...

Would you all please get in a single file line? I am quite sorry for the delay, and will try to get all of you seated as soon as possible.

Get to the front of the line, and begin showing people to booths or tables!
