Hooray!

Better start with D, in case we need to do our job in a hurry.

[Egan_BW]

Might have to spend a long time alone... but let's be optimistic and hope that we get someone to talk to soon enough. D

[Haspen]

You read the entries on bartending, synthols, drinks mixed, and try to find some bartender jargon dictionaries while you're at it.

Retry\Abort?
You see no other way than to abort.

What now?

A) Enough terminal tinkering for now.
B) Time for more drink and synthol education.
C) Do some file management on the local database.
D) Read about your work contract and the economics of synthol sales.

[Maximum Spin]

C

[Haspen]

You do some maintenance on the file database of the station.

1236USY.1d/1m.0315h

You do file integrity diagnostics, some much-required updates for sensor and communications software, as well as remove obsolete and junk files, left no doubt by previous bartenders or SRC maintenance crew-

Huh.

There's a folder called 'The Space Adventures of Captain Zirconius and the Ragtag Crew of the Galactic Corvette Hyperion-3!'. It has several hundreds of files, neatly numbered in over a dozen subfolders.

You don't remember ever reading or even hearing about this series during entirety of your Drone childhood and beyond. Could it be vintage series from the old Galactic Federation years?

A) Let's junk it, the database might need the extra space.
B) It might be worth reading a chapter or two, right?
C) Drink and synthol education is more important.
D) Gotta read on my work contract and the economics of synthol sales first.

[Maximum Spin]

Heh, that was actually a typo in the first place, I had meant D. Although we should check this out some time.

[Haspen]

That was quite a lecture. Fortunately, no sensor pings meant that you could concentrate on the text.

The more important bits to remember:

Code: [Select]

1. Refueling stations are automated and controlled by SRC Refueling AI. Transfers and purchases are automated and therefore do not count into your earnings.
2. You can earn Credits by selling synthols and mixing drinks.
3. As per NGF Synthol Taxation Reform, there's no credit quota per month; instead the SRC Management is privy to bi-monthly 'performance review'. It will impact your assignment and potential removal from the station, if your earnings are not satisfactory.
4. Your earnings will still be tallied per-month (0.1 of a space year) basis.
5. Anything that breaks down must be tended to you or forwarded to the SRC listening posts so that they send a repair crew.
6. On-board torpedo launchers and photon cannons can be put on auto or manually crewed by you.
7. As implied by the above, you're responsible for defense of the station and its valuable fuel storages.
A) Explore your mind and body.
B) Do a cleanup of station sections and the bar.

[Maximum Spin]

B) Do a cleanup of station sections and the bar.

I propose we go back to this one, now, to be properly prepared.

[Haspen]

You cleanup the station - and most importantly, the bar - a little bit.

1236USY.1d/1m.0949h

You manage to run diagnostics on the Fuel Pumps; #10 is offline for almost six years now, while #9 has been struck my a micrometeorite two days ago and its docking mechanism is damaged. You take that one offline as well.

The bar, on other hand, has its furniture toppled or missing, theres dust and junk everywhere, and the bright neon lights above the bar and elsewhere are nonfunctional. The disco area is offline, too!

A) Time to send a maintenance request for the fuel pumps!
B) Lets clean up the bar first!
C) Lets try fixing the lightning first!
D) Lets try fixing the disco area first!

[Maximum Spin]

B is the most directly important to our job.

[Haspen]

Bar goes first!

It takes a little over five minutes for you to clean the dust, clear up the junk and stash it in the recycler, and then wipe the counter and the shelves.

Suddenly, from the control room, you hear the loud, warning pings of the sensor system!

A) I gotta fix the lights first!
B) I gotta fix the disco first!
C) Let's see what's the pinging about.
