You playback the message.

"Hey Arnie, you cutie. Didn't want to wake you up to say goodbye - I hope the station doesn't ping you in your sleep - but yeah, I gotta go and just wanted to say goodbye. Keep the bar open for me and I will try to get jobs going through Beta Carotenii more often. Okay? Okay, bye then. Until next time."

You feel fluffy inside your organic body parts. But it is time to get back to professionalism. You decide to investigate...

A) ...the power loss in door control in East Docking Wing.
B) ...if your Sleep Pod had its alert system disabled or was otherwise tampered with.

[Kashyyk]

B - There should be other working Fuel Stations, so let's figure this out first

[Haspen]

You go to your bedroom and check the sleep pod.

1236USY.2d/1m.0136h

Going through quick maintenance check, everything seems powered and the sleep pod's connection to the main computer is working just fine.

A) *shrug* Let's check the power loss next.
B) Time to grab a screwdriver and dig deeper into the sleep pod's circuits.

[Kashyyk]

B - what could go wrong?

[Haspen]

You grab a screwdriver and maintenance pad.

You open the side panel and begin looking for trouble inside.

1236USY.2d/1m.0140h

You check the power conduits (everything's ok), the messaging system (all is well), the alarm system itself (BEEP-BEEP is loud and clear).

Then you notice something - the manual control for alert system has been activated and the switch was set to 'off'.

You flip the swit-

BEEP-BEEP
BEEP-BEEP
BEEP-BEEP
BEEP-BEEP

You acknowledge the alarm, disable manual control and put everything back in its place.

You wonder who could've have had the time, tools and the whole idea of putting the notification system for the sleep pod on manual.

Then you remember that you're not the first bartender for this outpost, obviously, so it must've been the previous bartender. Quite irresponsible on their part (you can understand the decision, though. That alarm is loud).

A) Anyway! Time to do some more maintenance and check the East Docking Wing!
B) Anyway! I have done enough maintenance, time to prep up the bar for whomever might be visiting today!

[Kashyyk]

A - Maybe this will be just as easy?

[Superdorf]

[Haspen]

You head for the East Docking Ring.

It is time to put your genius engineering skills to good use once again!

1236USY.2d/1m.0155h

You seal the pressurized spacesuit and have it clamped on your body tightly. You put on the interface helmet and pull up the holo-console with your eyesight before, well, your eyes.

The interface informs you that the pressure is stable but the door controls have been locked.

With a sigh, you pull up schematics of the airlock and find the manual override panel. With a loud clunk, it pops open and you pull the heavy lever down. The airlock door opens with a hiss and rolls out slowly to the side.

You enter the main airlock area, glancing at the darkness behind the outer airlock door. Several tonnes of plasteel is all that separates you from cold, deadly void of space.

You take off the maintenance panel and run diagnostics. The outer airlock door #2 is on manual, the inner airlock door is on manual, docking clamps for all three outer airlocks are jammed into 'closed' position, requiring a manual reset to open and then fixing the power problem between them and the computer...

You have quite a lot of work before you.

1236USY.2d/1m.0202h

You inadverently cause a power surge and the outer airlock door #2 rolls open!

Your magnetic boots keep you in place but you grab a nearby handle just to be on the safe side. You wait until the air is vented into space over the next dozen seconds to avoid being pushed about by the pressure difference. You glance at the far end of the corridor, where the gate to the main hall is keeping the bar from being vented out of air.

Well, at least something in here is working properly.

Once oxygen is gone and void conquers the entire East Docking Wing, you try to finagle a way to restore control over the outer airlock door #2.

1236USY.2d/1m.0207h

1

Bad luck however haunts you and you inadverently cause a power surge in the control panel itself. The interface on the panel goes offline, but your maintenance pad shows it still has power. You could potentially try to reroute it to the panel or fix the burned-out cable or something...

Still: woops.

A) Alright, lets just manually close the outer airlock door.
B) I can fix that later. Time to peek outside and try to reset the docking clamps.
C) Third time's the charm! Let's try fixing the control panel again!
D) You know what, this is it. The maintenance team can fix this. Let's just go back, seal the outer airlock and keep East Wing out-of-order until tomorrow night.

[Kashyyk]

D - Is what they're for

[Superdorf]

[King Zultan]

D Man this place seems to hate us.

[Haspen]

You decide it is enough for you, and just seal the outer airlock #2 manually with the override handle.

You do the same with the inner airlock, and shuffle off to take off the spacesuit and the helmet.

East Wing will wait for actual repair team; you still have five other docking points and pumps working, after all.

1236USY.2d/1m.0225h

You return to the bar. What was fixed got fixed, what was broken... well, its still broken.

You begin preparations to have it ready to serve and entertain customers.

♪ 1236USY.2d/1m.0235h ♫

It takes you about ten minutes to get everything ready, including the music... if only you had customers.

Just to be sure, you check the sensors console.

Not a single ping of impulse drive.

It's all waiting until some ship arrives in the system and their crew decides to visit your tiny outpost in middle of nowhere.

A) Let's just chill and pass the time.
B) Chapter 2 of those media series seems almost inviting.
C) Maybe there's some bartending lore to be found in manuals and stuff?
D) Great moment to hook myself to the computer and peer deeper into my organic and electronic pathways!

[Kashyyk]

B  - We've done some work, let's have a quick break and then we'll get more bartending done

[Superdorf]

Eh, sure. We could use more bartending lore tho, we were struggling something fierce when the database crashed yesterday.

[Haspen]

You navigate the computer core's memory to reach the folders containing the sprawling media series about Captain Zirconius.

1236USY.2d/1m.0333h

The date is 666 United Space Year. Hiro Zirconius, the Captain of Space Police Corvette Hyperion-3, goes through the dossiers of file clerks, new recruits, grumpy veterans, to assemble his bridge crew; Chief Engineer Hota Jaxo (a snarky janitor from Federal Space Police Fortress Poseidonis), Communications Chief Marga Trelis (ex-radio jockey fresh out of Space Police Academy), Computer Specialist Mikhaila Syarkova (former laboratory chief of FSPF Poseidonis) and Weapons Officer Chester-Beta42 (second iteration of Chester, a bodyguard droid serie). Their first mission as a crew takes them once again into fight with the brutal Barbary Pirates, destroying one of their bandit flotillas, killing one of their Crime Barons, Barbus Shrapnel-Maw, and rescuing Milan Milan, a young computer jack who was about to be sold into slavery for his debts to the criminal underworld. Shortly after returning to Fortress Poseidonis, Zirconius is contacted by Crime Prince Borelion, who offers the young Captain a deal...

So ends Chapter 2.

A) Maybe there's some bartending lore to be found in manuals and stuff?
B) Let's just chill and pass the time.
C) Great moment to hook myself to the computer and peer deeper into my organic and electronic pathways!
D) Alright, I guess I could go through Chapter 3 as well.
