You decide to continue reading the life support manuals.

BEEP-BEEP
BEEP-BEEP
BEEP-BEEP

You recognize the sensors alert right away. Putting down your datapad, having read about 35% of its contents about SRC Life Support Schematics, you make your way to the command center and to the security console.

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

Done!

"Coconut", Santa Maria-class Cargo Runner, approaching from direction of Eta Coridani Jump Gate.

Standard docking and refueling request received.

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

Estimated arrival time: 10 minutes.

A) Aw yeah, time to hail ship and (prepare to) serve drinks!
B) No. I have this datapad to read and I shall continue to read it!

[Superdorf]

We'll finish reading the schematics eventually; it's ok to keep them second priority for now.

A

[Haspen]

You hail the approaching ship.

You get a text reply:

>Thanks, will do.

You venture back to the bar to prep yourself and the counter.

1236USY.3d/1m.1159h

Shortly after the security console informs you that 'Coconut' has docked with the outpost, the main gate opens.

A brown-haired woman steps in, dressed in a jumpsuit that seems a bit too tight for her skin - or perhaps she wears it tighter on purpose.

With a bright smile (you note her teeth are perfectly sized and white-clean), she sits down at the counter and looks around with her strikingly bright lime-green eyes.

"Hello barkeep~ How about we start off nice and you get me a shot of something nice and smooth to drink?" As you ponder what 'nice and smooth' might be (soft? soft and fruity or sweet? medium or premium grade?), your wetware processor kicks in suddenly.

[CONVERSATIONAL SYNTAX MATCH OBTAINED: DRONE PROGRAMMING: FLIRTY #71587]

A) "You're a drone?"
B) FLIRTY: "How about we start off with you telling me your name, beautiful~?"
C) CHATTY: "That would be nice if only you would tell me what do you mean by 'nice and smooth', miss."
D) Pour her a shot of...
*A) Equator
*B) Creme Blanco
*C) Meganekko
*D) Silkdrink
*E) Sunset Capri

DB is probably a good start

[Kashyyk]

Nonsense! Flirt back! B

[Superdorf]

Don't get me wrong, I expect this interaction to go thoroughly off the rails - I just wanna sell one drink before that happens

[Haspen]

You nod and pour the obviously drone lady a shot of Creme Blanco.

She looks at it with a smile, and then takes out a small credchip out of her jumpsuit's left upper pocket, letting you scan it for creds. (+25c)

Maria takes a sip and smiles at you right away, while the music machine switches to the improbably well-suited song for the incoming interaction.

"So, barkeep, how such a handsome young guy manages to spend all this time alone on such an outpost, hmm? Don't you get a little lonely sometimes~?"

A) Shrug.
B) "Why, if you're so concerned about my loneliness, how about we spend some time together~?"
C) "Why, it is a bit lonely sometimes, but I consider myself capable of getting through that!"
D) "You're a drone too, huh?"

I have the feeling this is quickly going to spiral out of control anyway...

"Why, if you're so concerned about my loneliness, how about we spend some time together~?" Maria pauses for a moment, then looks at you increduously, blushes and laughs for a while.

"Oh, I am so sorry!" She laughs again. "I didn't expect to find a bartender drone in here. I'm not used to this, wow. How about, hmm, let's keep it neutral, then?" You shrug.

"Suits me."

"And if you don't mind," Maria lets out a hum. "I would like a glass of Red Desert."

You type the name of this drink into the bartending console...
