CHOSEN REPLY: "Something on your mind, Captain Subaru? Maybe another drink will help?"

4*

Captain Subaru glances back at you.

"I was... thinking. As for the drink..." She purses her lips for a moment and then scratches the back of her head. "Actually, you know, why not."

"I prepare another Magnetar, then?"

"No." She pushes the empty tank away. "Just a shot of Grapevine, please."

You grab a clean shot glass and fill it with Grapevine. The glass goes Captain's way, Subaru's credchip goes your way. You scan it for those nice 24c's.

With a third sip, Captain Subaru puts down the empty shot glass and smiles at you. She's about to say something, when the speakers above your bar play a ding-dong tune.

"This is. SRC Refuelling AI to: Captain Subaru Tagawa, of: Merchantship "Subaru Tagawa". Refuelling complete."

"Thanks for the drinks."

"Already leaving? I remember someone saying they're not in a rush." Captain Subaru laughs and then leans above the bar to look you into the eyes.

"I would rather not leave my crew with such easy access to booze." She whistles at the men at the tables and they all rise in accord, as if they were trained puppies. "Don't worry, though. We swing around this system every few days or weeks, and knowing that the bar's open, we might drop by one time or another. Till next."

Captain Subaru leaves with her men in tow, one of them being half-dragged away from the table.

The door closes with a pssh... and once they leave, the silence that befalls your bar is so strong that you can hear the buzzing of the neon sign above your head.

You finish cleaning up and glance at the sensor console. "Subaru Tagawa" is moving at sub-lightspeeds toward the Albatros Jump Gate.

No other ship pings are registered... the station's yours and only yours, once more.

What to do now?

A) Explore mind and body.... with emphasis on mind, just in case.
B) Finish bar maintenance: fix the broken disco screens.
C) Continue station maintenance: fix the Fuel Pumps' computers.
D) Send a repair request to SRC Headquarters so they send someone to fix the Fuel Pumps.
E) Continue station maintenance to find any other issues, if there are any left.

E, better to get a handle on all problems facing us.

A - First successful bar job, I think we deserve a quick break to relax and self reflect

Best place the call for the problem we did find ASAP-- can check for any other stuff needs maintenance afterwards.

That seems absurdly inefficient if we then find more problems and have to call back.

[Superdorf]

...fair enough.

You decide to continue the check-up of the station.

You find a little problem with the Fuel Pump #1; the Fuel Tank its connected to had its internal sensor disconnected, preventing the computer from allowing this pump to be assigned for incoming ships.

It doesn't take long to fix the problem and reconnect the internal sensor to the computer...

Code: [Select]

Alert:

Acoustic anomaly inside Tank #1.
You don't hear anything so you amplify the volume and...

*CLONK*... *CLONK CLONK*... *CLONK*...

Its as if someone was tapping on the inside of the tank with a tool.

You check bio, movement and the temperature sensors... they don't show anything.

*CLONK CLONK*... *CLONK*...

Goes the acoustic sensor.

A) Disconnect the internal sensor.
B) Run a diagnostic on the Fuel Pump #1 computer and sensors.
C) Find a haz-mat suit and check the Fuel Tank yourself.

B - Let's not climb into containers full of volatile liquid just yet

[Maximum Spin]

B this doesn't seem like my problem

[flazeo25]

B Its either someone hiding in it or dangerous sluge.
