Compensate. Approve everyone for leaving/docking. At the same time.

(3+1) You make all the requisite approvals, and the ships begin their docking dance.
(3+1) It appears somewhat chaotic, with everything moving at the same time, but no collisions occur, at least.
(I am surprised you didn't pick up on the fact that you ate a lunch, and then had your lunch handed to you.)

OH GOD

REALIZE I'M IN A GROUNDHOG DAY LOOP. A VERY TASTY LOOP. EAT LUNCH, THEN GO FORNICATE WITH THAT GIRL I WAS TOTALLY MEANT TO IN ORDER TO STOP THE LOOP.

[Dansmithers]

Relax in the mess hall, find a humanoid.

[Ozarck]

Relax in the mess hall, find a humanoid.

What's a humanoid? Describe the general characteristics of the alien you are looking for.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaa? 
You know, I think I'm going to roll for these. All three of them.

[Dansmithers]

Anything that looks vaguely human.

[flame99]

Chase down the droids, while buzzing the tune of "Yackety Sax"

[Ozarck]

Anything that looks vaguely human.

Sorry, I am going to be stubborn about this. There are no humans, and no one on the station has any awareness of what looks human. Oh, they may be out there , in some far corner of the universe. But not here.

Sorry, something with a head and mouth for a face full of alien.

[Ozarck]

That'll do.

...

Huh. spellcheck doesn't recognize 'that'll' as a word. Nor does it recognize spellcheck.

[Harry Baldman]

Keffit-Fum undulated at these news. This technology of the Others, why must it malfunction at any given point?

Diagnose the problem in the acclimatization units to the best of my ability.

((theres a movie, called "Groundhog Day" where a guy lives the same day over and over for about a thousand years, doing all sorts of things like achieving inner peace, until he eventually bangs the girl he's been in love with all his life. At which point his time stops looping.))

[Ozarck]

I am painfully aware of that, BFEL 
It's connection to the moment is a bit baffling is all (I get the "eat lunch, be handed lunch" loop, though).
I had to determine if that +1 to mental health meant +1 to mental stability. The answer is no. More like emotional stability, ability to handle stress and grief, general balance of mind, likelihood to throw tantrums, ability to roll with sudden changes, etc etc.

So basically I have an improved ability to cope with my crazed delusions of lunchy-loops?

[Ozarck]

Well, something like that, yes.

[Ozarck]

One, two, five ("Three, sir.") three ....

Oh, looks like everyone has posted and is waiting on me. Okay, um. Here we go!

Keep watching the fight.

(2) The furry things you came with have somehow managed to bring the fight to you. You are now in the middle of the fight, and are taking damage.
(2) The large, hard looking alien doesn't seem to mind that the fight has come to you: it wades into the fight and grabs you by your lapels. You are now looking disorderly.

Reactivate FB 1 and have it retrieve FB 2 to go back into the pod, then go back into its pod and continue customer service.

(3) After a delay, FB 1 leaves the pod and scuttles over to FB 2. FB 2 returns to the pod. FB 1 scuttles off somewhere else.
(5) FB 2 takes it's orders and briskly and cheerfully returns to duty, guiding customers to the appropriate sections of the library, and passing anything too complex for it's programming to you.
(6) You receive a question about multi-species terraforming operations on the fourth moon of Saldan 2.

REALIZE I'M IN A GROUNDHOG DAY LOOP. A VERY TASTY LOOP. EAT LUNCH, THEN GO FORNICATE WITH THAT GIRL I WAS TOTALLY MEANT TO IN ORDER TO STOP THE LOOP.

(5) You actually realize that you must have grabbed someone else's lunch when you were groping them. You can't recall whose it was though.
(5) Your lunch is quite tasty indeed, and you are quite pleasantly full, and maybe just a little drowsy.
(5) Well, she DID rush over here on short notice to bring you your lunch ... <censored>.
Now you are quite drowsy indeed.

Relax in the mess hall, find a humanoid alien with a head and mouth.

(4) you and your two coworkers make your way to a lively, brightly lit and crowded mess hall.
(6) Why, there are aliens with heads and mouths simply everywhere! Aliens with heads and mouths in open, grassy areas, grazing on vegetation, aliens in darker corners feasting on flesh, aliens in water tanks feasting on water creatures, aliens hanging from the rafters, eating something or another, aliens climbing on other aliens, eating scraps from the other aliens' meals.

Chase down the droids, while buzzing the tune of "Yackety Sax"

(6-1) You manage to catch and deactivate the second droid, all while buzzing an entertaining melody. Benny Hill would be delighted.
(2-1) your compatriots do not experience the same joy. They untangle from one another, but have yet to regain their feet.

Diagnose the problem in the acclimatization units to the best of my ability.

(6+1) The problem, you discover, is a leak from the main plasma transfer line. Extra heat and energy are flowing into the acclimatization unit, and overtaxing the cooling systems. In addition, the heat sinks have accumulated a coating of something (probably oxidation) that is limiting their functionality. he first problem, while currently only affecting the acclimatization chamber, is a potentially serious threat to the breeding program, the Formers, and the Station as a whole. The second problem is a minor maintenance problem, and is one that you wonder why your Formers have not addressed in a timely fashion.

"Sir, would you be so kind as to let me go?"

If he does, try to leave the area and get back to the restaurant, while fixing my appearance. If NOT, wait until he does.
