B - Let's learn some more things

[Haspen]

You decide to read on bartending trivia - and quickly find the bookmark on an article you left last morning.

1236USY.5d/1m.0946h

Apparently, SRC prepared a special promotional drink for the opening of the Pacifica Resort Planet to general populace in 1184USY. It was meant to invoke the feeling of tropical atmosphere, the taste of fruits doused in sweet synthols with a little punch and sprinkle of fruity sourness.

While Pacifica went on being a reasonably popular visitation goal for space tourists, the drink itself didn't fare just as good: after all, it is synthol mix, and the multitude of flavors didn't really help - as far as for some of the drinkers complaining it ended up being 'too strong and not fruity enough' compared to the advertisements of it.

Oh hey, they've listed the drink itself!

PACIFICA '84: 133c

3 Shots of Wóda
Shot of Tropico
Shot of Sunset Capri
Dash of Cherrybomb

Serve in a tank glass with ice and lemon slice.

A) Nice, maybe we can find another recipe in another trivia article?
B) Enough trivia, time for actual studying of maintenance!
C) A chapter of Zirconius to break the monotony?

You dig into maintenance manual once more.

1236USY.5d/1m.1212h

You are about 70% through SRC Weapons and Comms manual when you hear the very familiar beep of sensors station.

You move to the command center to see what's it about.

Sensors Station Alert! IFF beacon translation in progress...

Done!

"Victory or Flight", Melchior-class Armed Merchantship, approaching from direction of Poseidonis Jump Gate.

Standard docking and refueling request received.

Fuel Pump assigned: #1 (authority: Automated Refueling AI)

Estimated arrival time: 17 minutes.

Oh-ho, more clients.

A) Hail them, gotta keep the money flowing!
B) But I'm so close to finishing the manual!

[Egan_BW]

A.
Gotta keep inviting those small merchants, they might have booze to sell us! :v

[Kashyyk]

A - Do we even have a quota? Let's do our job at least

[Haspen]

You open the hailing frequencies.

"Captain Morales here."

"Bartender Arnold, SRC." You reply to the tough-sounding woman on the other side. "Outpost's repaired and replicators are running."

"Oh. Well, I was going to get my sons a round of drinks on the next stop, but hey, synthol's the same everywhere, so why not? Morales out."

As the approaching ship closes the frequency, you pace back to the bar to make it a little bit more presentable than it is already.

1236USY.5d/1m.1218h

You hear another alert coming from the command center.

For a brief moment you think it might be the comms, but you realize, its the sensors station again. Another ship is approaching your outpost.

A) Two ships coming to the same station for refueling in about the same time? Impossible. Must be an error in the transceiver or something.
B) Hey, coincidences happen! To the comms console (again)!

[Kashyyk]

B - Once we're a bit more confident, we should see if we can reroute these alerts to a data pad we can carry around or something

[Haspen]

You go back to the commstation, and sure enough-

Sensors Station Alert! IFF beacon translation in progress...
