"You don't have to get drinks when you come visit, James. You can come to the bar for different reasons, too." James grins.

"I am contemplating those reasons, yes." He takes a sip of his drink, eyeing you a little, and then he puts down the glass.

"But, I don't want to distract you from your next buncha patrons. After all, its gonna look bad if you get a bad review on your first day of work because you were busy flirting, no? If you don't mind, I have something to do now." He pulls out a large pad and taps on it, intermittently sipping on his drink.

You wipe the counter clean.

Shortly after the console informs you that "Minuet" has docked with the station and begun refuelling procedures, the main gate to the airlocks opens and comes out a pair - a young blonde lady in a jumpsuit, and her android companion, who clearly didn't want - or couldn't - invest in synthetic skin layers. His joints and servos are in plain view, and his face is rather sharply triangular and artificial looking, and his weird looks are further accented by a mop of synthetic black hair on top.

At least he is also wearing a jumpsuit.

The pair moves to the counter, giving James a curious glance. He smiles and lifts his near-empty drink at them in a salutation, but says nothing. The blonde-haired girl nods, then turns to you.

"Hey, barkeep." The girl says with a grin. "Nice to know that the bar has a tender. One Rat Oil, please." She seats herself, while her android buddy does not. The girl turns to look at him.

"You want anything, Chester?"

"I am. Fine for now. Thank you!" You nod and connect your console to the SRC Drink Mix Database... again.

Queries: rat oil

RAT OIL: 46c

Shot of Fungus Malus
Shot of X-Magnum

Serve in a tank glass with ice.

What you prepare is a rather thick mixture with a neon green coloration to it. Poured over crushed ice gives it another layer of slickness, and you have no doubts that's how its name came about. You serve the oily-looking green drink to the blonde girl, and she lets you scan her strawberry-red credchip. (+46c)

"I have detected. Numerous power network. Irregularities on this station! Is it safe? To consume drinks in here." The android says, and the blonde girl looks at you, puzzled.

"I had some trouble with the neon lightning, so I had to improvise and install a bypass." The android's eyes blink with myriad of tiny blue lights.

"I estimate twenty-six point four. Chance of a catastrophic malfunction in the next. Seven universal days. This is not a safe place. To consume drinks!" The girl snorts and takes a sip of her Rat Oil.

"Chester, you worry too much." The android crosses his arms and gives the Agustina a stern look.

"But miss Akrylla. Worrying! Is part of my job!!"

"Hey, I've been here for a while, and nothing happened so far." James chimes in, making Agustina giggle.

"See, Chester? Cool guy says its cool, so its cool!" She coughs after taking another sip of her drink.

A) Nod in agreement.
B) "Maybe a drink will help Chester here calm down?"
C) "Leave it to me to soothe his synthetic nerves~"

You nod in agreement.

"Still. I will be on guard. In case anything happens. Miss Akrylla." Agustina rolls her eyes and then leans toward James.

"Hey, cool guy! Want a drink? It's on me!"

"Name's James, and..." James looks into his glass, which is almost empty. "Well, I don't want to be much of a monetary burden... but, sure. I will have a shot of Grenadiere."

"You heard him, barkeep! A shot of Grenadiere!"

You nod and then glance at 'Chester'.

The android is busy staring at the neon lights above your bar, his eyes blinking with numerous blue lights. Perhaps he is calculating some other dreadful stuff?

What do you do?

A) Ask him if he wants a drink, too.
B) Just get James his shot.
C) Ask him if he wants to fix the lights for you.

[Egan_BW]

ask him if we wants to fix the lights for us :p

Hmmmmm.

"Do you want to fix the lights for me?" 'Chester' turns to you.

"I am not equipped. Or authorized. To perform such menial tasks. On a space station." Agustina smiles.

"Not that it stopped him from trying few times."

"I would rather not. Create more malfunctions. While trying to fix the previous." He finally sits down at the bar, between James and Agustina.

"Barkeep. A cocktail glass. Fully filled with Wóda. Is my current desire."

You fix a shot of Grenadiere for James...

"Wait, you have a functional stomach?"

"It is an internal biomass furnace. Capable of breaking down sugars. And alcohols. Into energy. This extends my operational time. Postponing the need to find a charging station."

...and a cocktail glass filled with Wóda for 'Chester'...

"It's an add-on my family requested for Chester, along with some other mods."

"Nifty."

...and after you pass the two drinks onto the counter, Chester extends his right hand towards you, and his index finger cracks open, exposing a scannable chip-surface. You scan it. (+20c)

Agustina then lifts her credchip again to pay for James' shot, and you conclude the purchase with a scan of it. (+10c)

The trio of your customers raise their glasses and clink them against each other in a toast.

"Cheers!" Agustina verbalizes the toast and both she and James gulp down their drinks in one swift motion. 'Chester', on other hand, sips his cocktail Wóda slowly.

"Such swift drinking. May cause accidental suffocation. Or misplacement of liquid. Into your lungs. Miss Akrylla."

"Geez, Chester. This is, like, my thousandth, not first, drink ever!"

James lets out a sigh and leaves his seat.

"I guess I will be going now. Synthol's slowly getting to me, I guess its time for a sleep pod nap."

"Aww, but we're just getting started. One more drink? On me??" Agustina makes a pleading face towards James as he starts walking away, towards the exit.

"Maybe some other time. We might meet again at this outpost or some other. Have a nice stay guys. Cya Arnie." He waves towards you and leaves through the main gate.

"Pleasant young man. He knows his drinking limits." Chester thinks briefly and looks at his escortee. "Should I check his marital-" Agustina gives him a death glare.

Chester takes another sip of his Wóda.
