C

Maybe he was a bartender, and knows recipes.

[Haspen]

"And what was your old line of work, if you mind telling about it?"

5*

Cis scrunches his nose, thinks about the question for a moment, and takes a big sip of the mix - emptying the glass in the process.

"I was... an entertainer. The 'touchy-feely' sorta entertainer. Fancier ones catering to high-class customers are called 'escorts' if you catch my drift. So yeah! Being chatty and conversational was part of my... work. Being fashionable and flexible also." He scratches at his nose, shifting on the stool a little bit.

"I will spare you the details, though. That said, it wasn't a very cushy job, and the station where the bar I worked at was located got hit with some ordnance one day during a pirate raid. The place got totally ruined and I would be jobless and homeless if not one of my former... patrons. He offered to take me in and teach me how to shoot, and helped me get a license. I was his partner for a while, taking bounties on small evil folk, before we decided to part ways. Fast forward six years, and here I am." Cis smiles softly, and pushes the empty glass towards you.

"Small evil folk, you mean thieves and the like?" The bounty hunter nods.

"Thieves, murderers, saboteurs, pirates. Usually I just chase down simpletons who think they are outside the reach of federal justice and can hide away without repercussions. Criminal gangs and big fishes up there are outta my league, though. I'm just a little guy in a simple battlecraft." Cis shrugs.

A) "Want another drink?"
B) CHATTY: "Six years is a lot of time. Any memorable bounties you wouldn't mind to share?"
C) CHATTY: "That's a sharp looking knife you've got there, Cis."
D) CHATTY: "You worked at a bar? I assume it wasn't SRC-affiliated, given the description you gave me."
E) FLIRTY: "I gotta say, you look extra cute for a mean bounty hunter, I like it! I like it a lot~"

"Want another drink?"

1*

The question makes Cis shake his head, and he pulls out a small pad from yet another pocket of his combat suit.

"Told you, I'm not big on synthols. In fact, it's about time I get going. Your AI reports refueling gonna be finished in about five minutes, so I might as well pack up." He leaves his stool, doing a little bit of a leg stretch on the way out.

"Until next time, Arnold!" He shouts from afar as the gate opens for him.

"Please come again." Your reply is the usual, and you put Cis' used glasses into the washer.

Leaving the bar area, you take a glance at the security console, but Razor remains docked, its refueling procedure about 20% away from completion.

Again, nothing to do, no one to talk with.

A) Zirconius is my friend and savior in these boring times!
B) Bartending trivia dive is what I need.
C) Perfect opportunity to be lazy!
D) Time to find something productive to do.
E) What do you mean, no one to talk with? Pebblo is right here!

Trivia delve it is!

1236USY.10d/1m.1130h

A ping of security console, one that you expected, pries your head from the reading - but, yes, it is Cis' Razor that's departing for Madagascar.

1236USY.10d/1m.1151h

You read an article about Morgana family of drinks and the most recently added variation of it, Black - it's a sour and sweet and fiery mess of darkness, and packs a much flavorful punch compared to its standard variety, Classic. The recipe for Morgana Black is provided in the article, but carefully reverse engineering the side-notes and synthol references allows you to discern the Classic recipe as well!

MORGANA BLACK: 116c

2 Shots of Ribesnero
2 Shots of Dry Jet
2 Shots of Buenberry

Serve in a tank glass with lemon slice.

MORGANA CLASSIC: 176c

2 Shots of X-Magnum
2 Shots of Dry Jet
2 Shots of Buenberry

Serve in a tank glass with lemon slice.

Your list of mixes grows.

You tap away at the console, but Beta Carotenii is currently as quiet as it can be.

A) Let's enlarge its more with more bartending trivia!
B) Let's mix it up with an episode of Zirconius!
C) Perfect opportunity to be lazy!
D) Cheese and trivia! I had enough, I shall find something more exciting to do!

You take off from the command center, and through the station.

Surely there must be something to do in here.

1236USY.10d/1m.1249h

One hour later, you finish piling up arranging the cargo boxes, chests and canisters against the walls and on the shelves.

The core areas of the outpost outside the bar were never this clean and orderly before.

Behind one of the boxes you did find a datapad - its battery is depleted, so you decide to take it to the command center.

1236USY.10d/1m.1253h

After plugging the datapad to the console, it lives again!

You quickly access it and - it's SRC Maintenance Manual, the one containing all the basics. You already have one copy, given by Eccite's engineers.

You put it with the rest.

A) If a maintenance datapad was displaced just like that, what other treasures can be found while scavenging??
B) On the other hand, Zirconius would be more interesting right now.
C) On the other hand, bartending trivia would do nicely right now.
D) On the other hand, let's have a nap!
