"So, what are your favorite holovids, James? PleasureCrafts maybe?" James chuckles, and shakes his head.

"No, I don't need porn." He takes a sip. "And I'm not big into holovids either. I prefer live action, if you know what I mean." James grins, Francis rolls his eyes, both sip their drinks.

You hear the quiet ping of the sensors console from the command room. Some ship has entered the system, but does that mean new patrons?

A) Excuse yourself to check the sensors.
B) To Francis: "What's the [insert holovid series here] about, exactly?"
C) To Francis: "You seem very into holovids, you've seen a lot?"
D) To James: "And what would your hobby be, besides flirting?"
E) To James: "I really hope you don't leave heartbroken lovers at each outpost."

"Sensors are pinging." You say, and James waves with his free hand.

"No worries Arnie, we will wait." Francis scrunches his nose, but doesn't say anything as the two sip their drinks in peace.

You move to the sensors.

Indeed, a ship is traveling from Eta Coridani towards Poseidonis. As usual, you cannot scan it till it decides to dock at your Outpost, but nothing stops you from advertising your synthol.

A) Ehhh, back to James and Francis! (pick convo topic from previous post)
B) Hail them, some extra company is always nice!

The current conversation's going nowhere but awkward, we could use new people

[Haspen]

You send a ping out...

Ping...

Ping...

"This is the Forseti, Captain Rober speaking."

"Hello, I'm Bartender Arnold of the SRC. I wish to invite you and your crew over for drinks."

"Thank you, but we're on a job right now. Maybe on the return journey. Is that all?"

"That would be all, yes."

"Okay, Forseti out."

And he closes the call.

You return to the bar, and James looks at you.

"More cute guys?"

"No, they're busy."

"Ah, pity." James stretches his arms upwards and yawns, and Francis looks in his direction briefly.

"I think booze is getting to me. Methinks its time for a pod nap." James quickly drinks the remainder of his mix, and sets the glass down.

"You coming?" He asks his half-brother. Francis looks into his glass, almost empty, and shakes his head.

"No... I think I will have one more." James then smacks his hands together and slides off his seat.

"Alrighty, then. Arnie be nice to Francis, don't bite~" James waves to you before he leaves.

"Have a pleasant nap, James." You take his glass and put it into the washer, while Francis watches over his relative all the way until the gate closes on him. Then he drinks the rest of his mix, setting the glass down.

"Another Rainy Saturday?" You ask, turning to him, and Francis shrugs.

"No... maybe... okay, well, do you know any fruity cocktails, not too sweet, and with a little kick? Something I haven't drank today."

A) (Insert a drink mix that might fit Francis' specs)
B) "Sorry, nothing of the sort comes to my mind."

I see two options in front of us that both fulfill his request to an extent- both are fruity to an extent, though the NIGHTRUN is also far more fiery and far less sweet.

FAKE BRANDY ~ 35c
2 Shots of Skinjuice ~ Fruity X 2
Shot of Grenadiere ~ Fruity X 1, Sweet X 1
Shot of Wóda ~ Fiery X 1
NIGHTRUN ~ 126c
2 Shots of Wóda ~ Fiery X 2
2 Shots of Pneumo ~ Fiery X 2, Fruity X2
Shot of Ribesnero ~ Sour

[brewer bob]

I guess the first of those might be better, so:

A) Fake Brandy

[King Zultan]

A Fake Brandy

[Maximum Spin]

Agreed, A, Fake Brandy

[Haspen]

You decide to prepare a Fake Brandy for Francis. You mix the fruity synthols with some Wóda and stir until it settles on that nice, clear caramel shade of things. You push the cocktail glass to Francis.

"What is it?"

"Fake Brandy. Mostly fruity, with a little kick."

"Hm, okay." He hesistates for a moment before pulling out his credchip, and thus you get them creds. (+35c)

Today Earnings: 1634c
Monthly Earnings: 9465.5c

Francis takes a cautious sip, lets out a hum, and then sips again.

"Hey, this is nice. Fake Brandy you said?"

"Yep."

"Alright..." He pauses for a moment. "Actually a bit too sweet now... but I like it." He takes another sip.

A) "How's it going, space policeman?"
B) "You seem very into holovids, you've seen a lot?"
C) "Now that we're alone, can you tell me some more about Miss Gloria? Or the skeleton you guys took out of my fuel pump?"
D) "What do you like, besides holovids?"

[IncompetentFortressMaker]

C
Honestly, I'm interested to know what's up with that skeleton.
