B. I'm sure we can squeeze in an hour of reading when we wake up, too.

[Haspen]

One hour it is!

1236USY.5d/1m.1945h

Truly to its internal workings, the wetware unit starts reminding you about your beauty sleep very intrusively just as you finish about 96% of SRC Weapons and Communications Manual.

[SLEEP PERIOD HAS BEGUN. SEEK A PREFERABLY COMFORTABLE PLACE TO SLUMBER UNTIL 0145 TOMORROW. NEGLIGENCE TO THIS MIGHT CAUSE YOUR ORGANIC COMPONENTS TO BECOME INEFFICIENT.]

It is the same as always.

So you turn off the music, prep the chairs, dim the lighting, take one last look at the bartending console, and head for your quarters.

You hop into the sleep pod and begin your dark, dreamless rest...


Congratulations! Bartender Arnold earned 910 Credits today! His monthly total so far is 3725 Credits!

A new day at Galactic Refueling Otupost 254831 begins...

1236USY.6d/1m.0145h

No interruptions and no alerts as you wake up.

With a little yawn, you plug yourself to the feeding machine, allowing your stomach to take in the nutrients and liquids you require.

After the breakfast, it is time to set up the bar. You never know when patrons might be coming.

♪ 1236USY.6d/1m.0202h ♫

When the music starts playing, you stretch some, then stretch some more, and then take a peek at sensors.

There weren't any ships passing through the system while you were asleep for those six hours.

Quiet night in Beta Carotenii, huh.

A) 4% leftover manual reading, let's gooooooooo!!
B) Actually this is about the time for daily Zirconius episode, no?
C) Nah, let us begin the day truly with some bartending trivia!

[Dustan Hache]

manual completion first, recreation later. A.

[Egan_BW]

[Haspen]

You indulge in the manual reading! Knowledge for the win!

1236USY.6d/1m.0237h

Hurrah! You're done reading SRC Weapons and Communications Manual, learning quite a lot about handling and fixing the photon cannons, torpedo launchers and the subspace transceiver on top of the station. Repairing them should be a much easier task from now on.

One more manual before you can truly master your Outpost's inner workings!

A) Alright! Onto Hull and Power manual!
B) Nah, let's take a break for some bartending trivia!
C) Nah, let's take a break for a Zirconius episode!

[Egan_BW]

[King Zultan]

Hull and power, nether of those things sound important lets read something else instead C.

[Haspen]

You head back to your quarters and hook up the holovid series beloved by everyone on this station: Captain Zirconius!

1236USY.6d/1m.0310h

The date is 666 United Space Year. It is the second afternoon on Gaia Prime, capital planet of Centaurii Sector. A blonde woman in black space-latex suit enters the office of Vice Secretary of Federal Council, Gotha Orionis. The two have a pleasant smalltalk before the blonde woman starts asking questions about 'the plan', the apparent impending fall of Federal Secretary Nwabudike Delligan and that her side of 'the plan' needs extra funding. Vice Secretary and the blond woman discuss each other's plans for the coming days before the blonde woman bids Vice Secretary farewell - and Vice Secretary calls the blonde woman by her identity: that of Crime Princess Marianna.
The story then goes back to Hyperion-3: Zirconius instructs his Chief Engineer, Hota Jaxo, to help Chief Scientist Mikhaila Syarkova build a separate memory bank that will hold a copy of the logs from Esmeralda's salvaged comms core. Hyperion-3 and Alexander-5 make their way for Poseidonis Fortress, where the salvaged core is rushed into secure storage. The next day, Zirconius, seated in his private office on board Fortress Poseidonis, ponders how deep the corruption and lawlessness goes in the Federation. In midst of his ponderings, Chester-Beta42, Hyperion-3's Weapons Officer, enters Zirconius' office and explains that he has proof that Communications Chief, Marga Trelis, is guilty of conspiring with space pirates. Zirconius is visibly startled, and asks Chester-Beta42 to sit down and explain himself...

So ends Chapter 6.

A) Plot slowly thiccens! One more won't hurt, right?
B) Break's over, back to manuals.
C) Time to clean the palate with bartending trivia!

How intriguing! It really makes one want to dig in and read some very dry technical documents. :^)

[IncompetentFortressMaker]

B
I think you mean "how stuffed with cheese". Seriously, I bet Zirconius can't even grin without cheese seeping from his teeth.

[Haspen]

Enough fiction, time for manuals.

1236USY.6d/1m.1510h

Twelve hours of studying later, you leave the manuals alone for a moment, and stretch, and rub your eyes. You are about 60% done with SRC Hull and Power Manuals!

You even go check the sensors but absolutely no one and nothing have entered the system.

Hm. Could it be? A day without a single patron? Without anyone even passing through Beta Carotenii??

A) Whatever, back to studying.
B) Let's break the monotony with more Zirconius!
C) Let's break the monotony with bartending trivia!

[IncompetentFortressMaker]

C
Y'know, if we ever meet any more former bartenders, maybe we can play trivia with them. That'd be fun.
