No, but this is the decision of interpersonal trust of Drone vs Stranger rather than actual bartending :P

You nod and prepare the mix as instructed - two shots of Wóda, one of Wet Jet and then Vurzelberg, all served in a cocktail glass with a lemon slice hanging off the edge.

"Thanks." 'Jack' takes the glass and fishes out a small, black credchip with silvery frame. You scan it. (+96c)

The console does show that you've billed him for Remnant Binary after all!

A) "How's it going?"
B) CHATTY: "You've mentioned Crystal Dragon and offered his blessings to me, are you some sort of a religious person?"
C) CHATTY: "Can't help but notice you've had the recipe memorized. Were you perhaps an SRC bartender in the past?"
D) FLIRTY: "You appear so slick and fashionable in that black outfit of yours, you look like a model, for reals~"
E) "Why 'unknown' occupation? You're not a secret agent, are you?"
F) "Why did you call your spaceship 'Matilda'?"

CHATTY: "You've mentioned Crystal Dragon and offered his blessings to me, are you some sort of a religious person?"

"Indeed I am. I belong to the Church of Gesús, the Crystal Dragon. He soars through the cosmos from nebula to nebula, devouring ships and men of evil intent. He blesses his followers with good luck in their travels and He offers them shelter and food at his abodes if misfortune and poverty befalls them. And after their eventual deaths, he guides their restless souls to His Kingdom in Hyperspace. You really haven't heard of us?"

"No, not really." Jack scratches his chin thoughtfully.

"Peculiar, we're very proactive in this region of space. Oh well. As for my humble self, I travel from station to station, from colony to colony, offering spiritual guidance to our remote worshippers and invite others to join our Church and venerate the Dragon for His immense greatness and benevolence." He pauses to take a sip of his mix.

A) CHATTY: "You guys doing all that cult stuff, then? Incense burning and rituals and ceremonies?"
B) CHATTY: "Can't help but notice you've had the recipe memorized. Were you perhaps an SRC bartender in the past?"
C) CHATTY: "Hey, if you're a religious person, could you possibly know anything abour cultists of Rag and Rock?"
D) FLIRTY: "You appear so slick and fashionable in that black outfit of yours, you look like a model, for reals~"
E) "Why did you call your spaceship 'Matilda'?"

C. an outside view is important in religion.

I figure at some point, you're just gonna run outta fucks to give and just off yourself whenever you get hurt at all. It's not like there's any downsides to it. Hangover? Suicide will fix that. Stubbed your toe? Suicide. Headache? Suicide. Papercut? Suicide.

CHATTY: "Hey, if you're a religious person, could you possibly know anything abour cultists of Rag and Rock?"

Jack puts down the glass down and looks at you, quite bewildered.

"And why you, of all people, would want to hear about them?"

"I had one of their cultists almost commit suicide, I believe, by exposing herself to the airless void one morning. Then her fellows picked her up." Jack grumbles and then shakes his head.

"Do not, I beseech thee, do not put yourself into the clutches of Rag'n'Rock Cult. They are vile, psychotic cultists, who take in the young and impressionable into their ranks to promise them greatness. They derive their visions and mysticism from brain damage due to exposure to the airless void, narcotics and violent trances. They maim and mutilate themselves, hiding horrendous scarring underneath opulent robes. They believe a ritualistic suicide is equivalent of ascension to join the Rag and the Rock and await the coming of the Great Night, when the universe collapses upon itself and everything and everyone will be destroyed. Stay clear out of them!" With a frown, Jack takes a big gulp of his drink, ending with almost empty glass.

"Can we talk about something else? Or better yet, make me Queen of Tau Ceti." Jack doesn't seem to be eager to provide you with the recipe, so you type away at the bartending console...

Done!

Queries: queen of tau ceti

>1 recipe found:

QUEEN OF TAU CETI: 83c

2 Shots of Fungus Malus
2 Shots of Saproot
Dash of Grapevine

Serve in a tank glass with ice.

You quickly pour in the Fungus Malus and Saproot into a tank glass filled with ice, then spritz in some of the darker Grapevine, giving the resulting mix some funky lime-green coloration. You serve it to Jack who lets you scan his credchip again. (+83c)

"Thanks." Jack says curtly and takes a sip.

B) CHATTY: "Can't help but notice you've had the recipe memorized. Were you perhaps an SRC bartender in the past?"
C) CHATTY: "You seem to know a lot about the Rag'n'Rock cult. You hear about them a lot in your travels?"
D) FLIRTY: "You appear so slick and fashionable in that black outfit of yours, you look like a model, for reals~"
E) "Why did you call your spaceship 'Matilda'?"
