Caesar leans against the counter with a smile.

"Sorry, but, I actually appreciate you being a man of few words. Makes it easier, you know?"

A) "Easier to not get attached?"
B) "Easier to work with people?"
C) "Seems like it."

"Easier to work with people?"

"Exactly!" Caesar grins. "In my line of, well, work, it is better to keep one's mouth shut. I've started to enjoy that silence when it comes to dealings with my customers. Hello, tell me what you need, no smalltalk, goodbye."

"Very impersonal." Caesar shrugs.

"I like it, make of it as you will." He pokes the sad glass of mostly melted ice. "As much as I enjoy telling you all these little things, I would really like a drink now." You check the clock...

...and the synthol replicators.

All status diodes on all replicators are still red.

You feel Caesar is getting impatient and might leave if not served a drink.

A) Customer first! Attempt to override the lockout on at least one replicator.
B) Safety first! Call Eccite to ask if you can serve drinks again.
C) "Sorry, can't do, really."

B. If they’re not ready, we’ll just have to apologize and let them go.

[Haspen]

You nod.

"I will ask the engineering chief if I can turn the replicators back on." Caesar nods and you head to the commstation.

"Hey Eccite?" There's a crackle of static.

"Eccite here, what's up?"

"My client would like a drink, can I have the synthol replicators online now?"

"Oh yeah, forgot about that, yeah, sure, we're done, you can switch the life support back to normal mode. Thanks for patience Arnold."

You close the comms and turn the life support back to normal mode, and head back to the counter.

You check the synthol replicators and they all get online as well.

"So," you smile at Caesar. "What will it be?"

"If that's not a problem, I would like a Vineyard." You haven't heard that one before so you type on the bartending console...

Connecting...

Done!

"I am actually wondering, are you safe in here? Sorry for prying if you would rather not divulge such information." Caesar asks as Chief Eccite enters through the main gate, and makes her way towards the counter.

Maybe she has a progress report for you?

A) "I would rather not do that, thanks."
B) "I have weapons and weapon platforms, yes."
C) Excuse yourself from question to strike a chat with Eccite first.

[Dustan Hache]

d: explain that safety is relative to conditions, and so far they have been good. Refuse to elaborate beyond that.

He actually already knows this. We just said we almost shot him when he came careening in.

"I have weapons and weapon platforms, yes."

"No, I mean, do you, you know, can you handle weapons? Have martial arts and close quarters training? Your outpost is stationary..." He trails off and takes a sip, just as Eccite comes over.

"Hello again Arnold. Do you have a minute or two? I need you to go over these reports. Check-list everything we've done today, because except the skeleton in the pump we've fixed everything you reported over the radio." Caesar raises his eyebrows as Eccite puts down her datapad.

"Shouldn't take you more than few minutes. Unless you want to personally inspect our work, that's it." You look at Caesar; he smiles politely and takes a small sip of his drink, the glass still almost full.

A) "I'm busy with a client. Ten minutes, fifteen perhaps?"
B) "A tour of the station feels necessary just in case, let's go."
C) "Sure, give me the datapad and I will look it over."
