You decide to end the day early.

The wetware takes the impulses and prepares your body as you clean up the bar, stop the music, turn off the lights.

1236USY.9d/1m.1910h

Just as you're about to sleep, an alert!

It's from the security console, fortunately, about Metro departing for Eta Coridanii Jump Gate.

You take off your work clothes and pace to the slumber pod.

You set it for the usual six hours you need, and then, zzz...



Congratulations! Bartender Arnold earned 1694 Credits today! His monthly total so far is 7831.5 Credits!

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



1236USY.10d/1m.0115h

You leave the pod and stretch, and yawn, and scratch your stomach. These are part-human behaviors, part something that your wetware chip tells you to do to better fit in amongst humans who do these things.

As you plod to get yourself hooked to the feeding machine, the wetware chip chimes in:

[MELATONINE PRODUCTION ADJUSTED. SLEEP PERIOD RESCHEDULING COMPLETE: 1930 TO 0130 HOURS STANDARD SPACE TIME]

Nice, you think to yourself, as the tube goes schrrrlp, delivering nutrients to your body.


The bar is open, and the lights and music are generating a good, relaxing atmosphere for the travelers who come by.

If they come by, that's it. You do expect company sometime today...

You pace to the command room, and two things grab your attention:

A blinking orange report on the maintenance console.

And a security log displayed on the security console about some ship currently traversing through Beta Carotenii.

A) Let's grab the potential clients before the jump away from the system!
B) Maintenance of the station is more important than anything else!

Especially since we're expecting company today, potentially missing a single customer may not be that bad.

Unless it is the company, but that probably won't happen.

It's a date, we don't have to invite him for drinks as soon as he flies into the system. Presumably he's gonna head our way regardless.

That's why I said it probably wouldn't happen, but it would be funny in a dumb romcom sort of way if he showed up, saw that we weren't immediately behind the bar, got confused and left.

*quickly writes that down*



You read the maintenance report, which has been labeled as 'serious', thus the orange light.

Apparently in the North Wing, between Airlock Gates #8 and #9, there's an atmospheric leak happening between outer hull and the inner hull. The airlocks and the entry area have not been compromised, though. The station's Automated Interface is compensating by delivering more power to the oxygen-nitrogen generators located in the reactor core and the air pumps located in North Wing.

A) Eh, I can fix that later! What's the security report?
B) Oh no, that's important! Time to suit up and play repairdrone!
C) Turn off the notification, it doesn't require fixing.

A - Should at least read the report. If it turns out that Ship is well known to attack solo-droned outposts or something equally dire, we might want to deal with that first
