I'm not interested in this story any more, let's flirt with Gering.

C?

[Haspen]

"Thanks for the story, I guess."

"Hey, it's a story alright." Gering says, drinking the remainder of his shot.

Just a moment later the main gate opens and Natasha shows in there.

_{"Hey Gering!"}

"Yeah?"

_{"Boss wants us back because of engine trouble and is asking why you have your communicator offline!"} Gering fishes into the breast pocket of his jumpsuit, pulling out a small oval communicator.

"Oh, huh, it totally is. Must've sat on it or something by accident." Gering turns sideways and smiles to Natasha from across the hall.

_{"Yeah, right! Now come over and help because Samel's getting on my nerves!"}

"Well, duty calls." Gering rolls his eyes and quickly vacates his seat. "Thanks for drinks, barkeep, be seeing you some other time."

"Please come again." Gering waves and walks up to Natasha.

_{"See ya barkeep!"} The woman shouts and thumbs-up at you.

You return the gesture from behind the counter, then begin cleaning up the glasses.

And by cleaning of course we mean putting them into washing machine.

You whip up a connection to the Net and check for some interesting bartending trivia.

1236USY.7d/1m.1259h

You learn from an article that there's a drink that gained its name after a toxic chemical element, that being Arsenic. The first time it was created it stirred up quite a controversy because of its name and soon a holomedia storm caused SRC to almost pull the recipe from the databanks, but as with all holomedia storms it died down when the public had something else to put their minds on - that being the start of EXO-Lumina War against the Old Federation. The article then mentions that since then this mix was almost forgotten by patrons, and is one of least-frequently ordered drinks across the galaxy.

The article does include the recipe, though!

SUGAR ARSENIC: 75c

2 Shots of Dry Jet
Shot of Sucrosol
Shot of Buenberry

Serve in a cocktail glass.

As if on cue, the security console beeps at you - to let you know that "Dominion" has finished undocking and is headed for Gamma Urquanii Jump Gate.

What now?

A) Even more trivia!
B) Zirconius, for a change of pace!
C) Meh, let's just pass the time!
D) Actually, now that they're gone, let's continue reparing Fuel Pump #10!

You move back to the Fuel Pump #10's control and maintenance room.

And when you get there - you get back to work!

You finish replacing what's broken or missing, and secure the new parts in their places. A quick tricorder sweep reveals no power drops or abnormalities, so you close the power box.

The hole in the box will have to stay - you have no replacement panel door for it.

You move to the console and tap away to run a diagnostics check.

1236USY.7d/1m.1515h

You look up at the display as the console beeps out that it is done.

FUEL PUMP 254831/10 DIAGNOSTIC:
Power flow.... ok
Control unit.... ok
Tank structural integrity.... ok
Fuel capacity sensor.... ok (2135200000m3/68%)
Transmission pipes structural integrity.... ok
Docking system servos.... ok
Extendable connector system.... ok
Spaceship software translation system.... ok

Fuel Pump #10: online!

Sending notification to Automatic Interface of Outpost 254831: done!

Fuel Pump #10 is now in operation and has been included into automatic interface refueling system of Outpost 254831.

You pack up the remaining spare parts into the box, then lock up the place.

1236USY.7d/1m.1533h

You close the storage room.

You have fixed the fuel pump and your outpost is probably in best shape it could possibly be right now.

You feel warm and fuzzy inside for accomplishing this - all on your own.

A) Time to celebrate with some Zirconius!
B) Time to celebrate with bartending trivia!
C) Time to celebrate with exploring myself a bit!
D) Time to be lazy!

You reward yourself with a nice chunk of bartending trivia articles!

You find out an answer to something that has been bothering the very back of your mind for quite some time - the origins of Skinjuice.

Apparently back when SRC was still 'Seaside', Skinjuice was an organic alcohol created by dumping several sorts of already-pressed fruits or their skins into a vat, and then fermenting that to create a sweetish, fruity alcohol, the formula of which was quickly transcibed and then easily synthetized. Nowadays SRC no longer provides organic drinks except bottled, imported sorts for larger Outposts (interesting!) but the name and chemical composition of the cheap, fruity, alcoholic mixture lives on in the artificially-produced synthol you now know as 'Skinjuice'.

What now?

A) More trivia!
B) Zirconius?
C) Self-exploration?
D) A nap!
