You decide to seek some more treasures in the outpost's darkest and deepest corners.

1236USY.10d/1m.1319h

Not only is your search fruitless (you did check the storage rooms twice over), the somewhat distant alert of the sensors makes you realize that there's probably another ship coming for refueling.

Will its crew be interested in drinks? You shuffle to the command center to check the display...

Sensors Station Alert! IFF beacon translation in progress...

Done!

"Marco Polo", an Aviso-class Personal Delivery Craft, is approaching from the direction of Poseidonis Jump Gate.

Docking request received and approved by station AI.

Fuel Pump assigned: #2 (authority: Automated Refueling AI)

Estimated arrival time: 8 minutes.

It's James the courier, as promised yesterday via text message.

A) Hail him!
B) Let's tidy up the bar something extra!

You hail James-

-he picks up within a second.

"Hm, no idea who's calling, who's this~?"

"I know it's you James. Arnold here."

"Heh, can't fool ya? Missed me?"

Your wetware processor has no answer to this?

A) "So much I couldn't sleep, if you know what I mean~"
B) "I admit I've missed your company, yes."
C) "A little bit."
D) "Just wanted to ask if you will partake in synthols today."

"A little bit." James laughs over comms.

"Oh, that's a little bit cruel, you know? But sure, we will be there for drinks. Cya in a few!"

James closes the call as you wonder:

'We'?

A) Who is with him? Let's hail him again!
B) He is a courier. He owns a spaceship. He is ferrying a passenger, duh!

[crazyabe]

B. Worst case we aren't his only partner and he's bringing one of them, worse case he's bringing his parents and planning on proposing the second time he sees us, best case it's a passenger.
