Once upon a time, you were a Drone.

Specifically bred and modified since conception until birth, then carefully brought up to serve a singular purpose. Well...

...that's until the Great Galactic War. EXO-LUMINA Corp's rule ended, the democracy returned (except in places where brutal military dictatorships took over), and the New Galactic Federation is trying stardate-by-stardate to restore human civilization from its knees.

But the instability and brutality of the past 25 years is gone. With the New Galactic Federation's Basic Rights Charter, you're no longer a Drone - you're now legally free person, and an adult, at that.

Homeless, without family, drifting without purpose, and at brink of starvation, you've applied for the first job you could find on the constantly shifting Job Network.

Bartending for Synthol Refueling Conglomerate, at the Galactic Refueling Outpost 254813, Aries Sector.

Outpost 254813...

Your new workplace! Your new home! An island in the ocean of space! A fortified castle in the middle of the lawless wilderness!

The emergency travel pod (SRC couldn't afford you a liner ticket) docks within the station's cargo bay and you disembark.

The station is in the state of slight disrepair. You quickly connect your fingers to the computer interface and it gives you summary of the status... and everything's seems in order? Then again, it is corporate software we're talking about.

You log into the sensor software and there's not a single ping of impulse drive within range. No wonder; the system at which edge's you're located, Delta Aries, is a white dwarf with a belt of icy, mineral-less asteroids. That's very little to offer for prospectors and settlers alike. Few Jump Gates dot the outskirts of the system, but the traffic is relatively low.

It might be hours, days, or even weeks (hopefully not) until you get your first customer - if they're interested in drinking and not just automated refuelling, that's it.

What do you do?

A) Do maintenance on the station software.
B) Do a cleanup of station sections and the bar.
C) Explore your mind and body.
D) Read the databse entries on synthols and bartending topics.
E) Read about your work contract and credit quota of synthol sales.

C) Explore your mind and body.

As fun as this sounds, we probably shouldn't get fired on our first day. Contracts are good tho'.

I vote E

[Superdorf]

Oh hey, is you! Playing a thing!
Now I just have to tamp down the visceral terror I feel every time I see your name

[19_EgarAlnis]

I can't inflict psychological torment on you here, buddy! _{Not yet.}

[Haspen]

You run through the contract and specifications of your job here.

That was quite a lecture. Fortunately, not sensor pings meant that you could concentrate on the text.

The more important bits to remember:

Code: [Select]

1. Refueling stations are automated and controlled by SRC Refueling AI. Transfers and purchases are automated and therefore do not count into your earnings.
2. You can earn Credits by selling synthols and mixing drinks.
3. You're supposed to earn 9600 Credits every 0.1 of a year (every space month), or 266.(6) Credits per space day.
4. Anything that breaks down must be tended to you or forwarded to the SRC listening posts so that they send a repair crew.
5. On-board torpedo launchers and photon cannons can be put on auto or manually crewed by you.
6. As implied by the above, you're responsible for defense of the station and its valuable fuel storages.
What do you do now?

A) Explore your mind and body.
B) Do a cleanup of station sections and the bar.
C) Read the databse entries on synthols and bartending topics.
D) Do maintenance on the station software.
