Yeah, I don't think we got around to completely fixing up the bar...

You quickly put some effort to make the bar presentable.

With a loud hiss of the main gate, the newest patron of yours come in.

Dressed in a green, civilian jumpsuit, with a black leather jacket on his back, he looks around with curiosity, and a tinge of surprise.

As he approaches the bar, you notice his black hair, green eyes and tanned skin. The stares he gives your hall makes you wonder if he will comment on the appearance of the place.

"Hm, this station has seen better days, no?"

You wondered correctly. The man takes his seat and brushes his hair.

"Hi, I'm James. I would like a shot of Skinjuice, for starters."

You quickly pour him a shot of the thin, pleasantly smelling fruity beverage. You scan his credchip when he lifts it toward you. (+10c)

"So what's with the big, armed-to-teeth ship at the other docking clamp?" He takes a sip. "Friends of yours?"

CHATTY compatibility, excellent!

CHATTY: "I wouldn't call them that, but let's say we've had some amicable business dealings so far?"

"Oh, huh. Why would a synthol outpost... anyway, you know what, don't answer that."

"So, what brings you here? I sent a ping earlier today to a small craft similar to yours."

"Yeah, that was me! I had a timed delivery and wasn't going to risk it. But now, now I got the time."

"Timed deliveries? Are you a high-risk courier?"

"Nah, nothing of the kind. I do handle some stuff that needs to be delivered quick and can't be replicated. That's all."

"Medical stuff, then?" James nods and downs the remainder of the shot in one go.

"Yeah. Cloned organs and replicated tissue just sometimes doesn't work for certain people, ya know."

"Ah, transplant rejects and the like."

"Yeah! That's exactly why the MSF Outpost in orbit of Eta Coridani Prime asked me to deliver my latest package. Fastest route was through this system."

"You come here often? Beta Carotenii, I mean."

"Hm, well, not really. It's like on the fringe of the area I usually operate. I live on Delta Nautae II, that system's four jumps away from here."

"That's quite far, I have to admit. Usually couriers don't go long range, people value speed and reliability at shorter distances."

"Yeah, this job was an outlier. And to be honest, I wouldn't even bother coming to your place if not for the earlier ping. Last time I was here, this outpost was out of commission. But hey, now that it is running again and has a cute bartender, I might come over a bit more often, you know? Get me some Blue Fire next, please." You quickly check your bartending computer and...

"So, what exactly you find 'cute' about me because that's something that really tickles me and I'm interested." James chuckles.

"I just like guys that aren't all macho and aren't all edgy. You don't have to look special to *be* special to someone like me, you know? And hey, I don't stay in one place for too long so I might as well find someone to spend some nice time with."

"Oh trust me, you wouldn't be dissappointed, all you gotta do is call me 'cute' few more times~"

"Well, I will consider it if you get me my drink."

This is getting slightly annoying.
