"Haha! I like your approach, man!" Jack drinks some of his drink while Louise glares at you.
"You don't need to yell to hold a conversation, you know.""Apologies, but that's how I work!" Jack chuckles while his petite companion sighs.
"C'mon Louise, don't be so stingy. Here, I will buy you a drink, you infinitely grumpy-""Thank you, but I think I'm fine for tonight.""Outpost 64 Special for me." Jack puts down his tank, half-filled.
"I always wanted to taste it and I keep forgetting. No longer!"You type in the drink's name and let the console connect.
This time, it takes just few seconds.

Huh, apparently drink mixes can also come in shot glasses. Interesting!
You pour some Dry Jet into a shot glass and then spritz some Ambrosia and Sucrosol into it, briefly filling the air with fruity aroma.
"There's your Outpost 64 Special! Enjoy!" You put the small glass in front of Jack.
He raises his credchip for you so you can scan it (+18c).
