Ambrosia Software Web Board: The Officers Club Bar #5 - Ambrosia Software Web Board

What, the Caffeinepak™? Oh, its just a little battlefield accessory I picked up on my last visit to Paljas. I got it free when I bought a BOSS®©™ System from the spaceport novelty shop. They're both by Acme I think.
Batteries weren't included though..., well what can you expect with a freebie!
Would you care to try one?

------------------
Oh, so it is another bug hunt then...

Sure. Toss one over?

(Im not completely sure if these are like the EVO bars, but here we go.)

Suddenly the bar shakes as a strange ship crashes through the side, grinding to a halt in the middle of the bar.
Debri flies everywhere. The ship is light green and silver, and shaped like an eyedrop.

"Sorry about the bar.. " the stranger says, and he walks to the bar, but isn't really talking to the bartender. "I'm Redchigh. I used to scout out these parts before most of ye ever heards of this galaxy. Lately I've been in a Universe not too far from here, where two massive powers... UE and Voinians battle constantly. A barbaric place, let me assure you. Anyway, my ships an Arada I lifted off a pirate... yep, they're absolute;ly infested with pirates there. Anyway, I was jus passin through, when I got in touch with an old friend of mine Shrout. He told me to drop on by, but strangely, this bar wasn't on my map. Well, my ship's kinda out of place here for a guy like me. anyone wanna hook me up with a new one?
Oh, here... " pries open a door in his ship's hull, and takes out a cube about 3'x3'x3', and set it down beside his ship. He then pushes a button on his belt. The cube dissolved into the floor, and a second later, the hole in the wall grows smaller and smaller and debri dissappears out of the air and off of the floor.
Red pushed another button, and the cube reappeared. He pushed one more button, and it shrank to a few inches wide with a puff of smoke rising up. He put the cube in his pocket.
"Nanites." he explained to the patrons.
"I dont guess you have saalian brandy here.... what's good?" Red said to the bartender...

Ld Cmdr Anic glances to the newcomer.
Perhaps you should try an Alpha GreenyBlue®©™ . It has evolved just now into version 6.0.0...

Anic lobs a Caffeinepak™ Pick-me-up in the general direction of Taeskor Cicion.
It rather resembles a hand grenade...

------------------
Oh, so it is another bug hunt then...

"Sure.. that doesn't sound too bad.. I'll take an Alpha GreenyBlue®©™. By the way, what's in it? Oh, and it better be 6.0.0 too."

"It does NOT have acid in it. Or styrachine." mutters one of the Darkks.
"Why do you say that?"
"Say what?" asks Darkk 4
"Yeah, we didn't say anything" adds Darkk 3.
"My colleagues are correct, but so is the fact that a Darkk said it." adds Darkk 0, being a mysterious jerk at times.

LC Anic looks thoughtful for a moment.
I've no idea what's in it! It's a "secret".
Come to think of it it had never occurred to me to speculate about what might be in it. Caffeine probably, and water, and ethanol, amongst other things.

LCA regrads the Darkk collective. Hmm, another one with a split personality. Reminds me of the Count whathisname... Looks a bit more Borg-like though!

No, it's just numbered in order of appearence. Different webstory characters and all.

Welcome, sir. Always good to have a patron from another universe.

*Xitell walks into the room, his carapace clinking, his beamer rifle slung across his back.*

Xitell: Hello, there. Quite an estalishment here. You don't see any bars or the like in Zhorl space. My race's society and territory is extremely boring, I'm afraid, what with the strict conformity and all-for-the-whole laws enforced. The oligarchs cling to our past as hive-thinking insects, you know. The reason Zhorl mercs like me're so well renowned is because we just couldn't stand the sheer boredom of our society.

Anyway, serve up something acidic. I need to loosen up the dirt on my mandibles.


Coming right up, my friend. *Pours out a drink and slides it to the bar. Xitell catches it and knocks it back.*

a man walkes in, nothing intresting just joe-avarage (apart from the fact his name is 9024, not joe)........
he sits down, has a swig from his hip flask and has an thrilling conversation with the pot plant about how nothing intresting happens in the universe, full-stop.

hi all. (this topic better be active!!!)

------------------
*BANG*....hehehehehe

[This message has been edited by 9024 (edited 07-02-2002).]

This topic, active!
Entropy's more active than this topic.
I come here for the quiet moments, gazing out through the muti-plate glass window across the asteroid sea, sipping a version 7.2 GreenyBlue®©™ The drink that evolves all by itself! and pondering the mysteries of the universe, like what happens to your time when you reach the speed of light for example, or how so many of time's edies wash over this bar, and nobody here seems to notice that it can take up to a week for the bartender to walk a couple of metres, get a drink and bring it over to you. The time dilation in here is sideways.
See that corner over there?
It's in a different time line altogether...

I expect that its all to do with the effect of IX 5709, the nearby black hole.
Didn't you know, the bar asteroid fell-will fall-may or may not fall into it, sometime.
It is all relative you know...

------------------
Oh, so it is another bug hunt then...

Well, if it does the patron's'll be treated to quite a view. My, that would be interesting.

"any thing intresting happen here lately, mr...........Cicion?, apart from the impending doom that the black hole presents" *drinks from hipflask, and grunts*

------------------
*BANG*....hehehehehe

"I've been inside black holes before, it's nothing special" comments Darkk 0.
"You're forgetting something." says Alacina.
"I haven't, and I don't want to." Darkk 1 replies.
"Ah, I forgot that most people don't have built-in gravity stabalizers." Darkk 0 realizes.
"I can find a tractor tug with enough power somewhere if we start to fall in." he continues.

Not to mention the fact that there always seem to be four or five huge battlefleets hovering near the station at any given time. One of them'd get us out.

garbage disposal

------------------
Time is the best teacher, yet it kills all of it's students.

Oh, hi Slug! Pull up a seat.

Indeed, garbage disposal was the primary reason. Very useful things these black holes.
But also it powers the Bar asteroid's temporal field, which creates some of the time shifts we experience in here. Keeps the customers amused.
Do bear in mind too that it is most likely that it will be several billion years before the bar does disolve into the black hole, relatively speaking. Of course if you invoke probability theory there is a very small chance that the bar could dissappear at any moment into the black hole, especially with all the time eddies wafting around in here, not to mention hte cool gadgets...
But of course that is extremely unlikely.
Anic sips another GreenyBlue®©™ and glances over in the direction of the veeeeerrrrryyyyy ssssllllllooooowwwww poker game going on in the corner. Somewhen downtime that game is proceeding at an apparently normal pace, though it appears temporally static from our perspective. All caused by our proximity to IX 5709.

You're looking a little frazzled around the edges Slug, care for a Caffeinepak™ Pick-me-up? They're available behind the bar now.

Nah, a pan-galactic gargleblaster will do. Caffeine doesn't react well with the Salrilian Metabolism (*fart*)

Mike walks into the bar only to find that he has just walked in the bar twice without leaving. Mike becomes so confused and perplexed at this that he starts shaking violently untill he explodes leaving random body parts and organs spewn about the bar.

Mike walks into the bar but this time he sits down and orders an Excessivly Flavored Vanilla Coak?®©. "Ah, never liked the stuff."
He drops the soda can and walks over to where the band is playing, picks up a guitar and starts playing some backround music as entertainment for the customers.

Wow, Sure has been a long time since I've posted. Feels good to be back after all those stupid finals and tests and crap. Bar #5, eh. I wonder if Cicon knew what he was starting with the Officers Club Bar. Thousands of posts, Sheesh...

Excuse me...1733 posts (as of now).

We all remember the post I made in Bar #4 about the number of posts in all the bars (or not.) Now what if the mods had split the First bar in to two hundred posts we would have like...(quick division and addition...) 10 topics. Imagine that-Officers Club Bar #10. Hmmm...

[Actually, the game ended.]
Darkk 0 takes Mag's offer of another poker game. Darkk rips off his sleaves, eats them, then sits down.
"What was that for?"
"Oh, I do stage magic as a hobby. I always do that when I'm about to play poker, because people always think I cheat."
"Because you do!" shouts Alacina, in an amused voice.
"Bah" says Mag, "I won't let him out-cheat me".
They draw. "Seven space parrots!" Mag announces.
"8 Mag Steelglass." Darkk announces. Mag blinks.
"We were supposed to draw 5, and there aren't any cards with me on them in the deck!"

Darkk 0 puts his hand down. 8 cards, all of which feature Mag Steelglass in a variety of ridiculous art.

Alacina snickers. "He does that every time. We're kicked out of every casino within 2 games."

Ah, time dialation...

You're not a thirty ton megga elephant in mortal (admitedly be it Salrillian) disguise by any chance Slug? PGGBs can have a seriously corosive effect on the circulatory system of norms...

------------------
Oh, so it is another bug hunt then...

Phew! I'm still here, barely. I am typing to you all from work right now, a little lull in the day. I am sitting here, notepad on my left, phone on my right, eeeevvvilll PC laptop right in front of me and one disturbed VBA Macro that I cannot get answers for... Ahhh... life. Ever since I started my job, about 3 weeks ago, I have been very busy. It keeps me all day until 5:00 and then I come home and bomb out. I usually sleep from about 6:00 to 8:00, have dinner, take a shower then play StarCraft until about 11:30. Then it is back to bed and time to start it all over. I earn 1400 dollars for 8 weeks of this madness (definetly not good compentsation) but I also get my foot in on a program that will pay for my college and give me a government job, so, give and take.

Anyway, I have no idea what anyone has been talking about, my connection is so fast I didn't have to wait and read anything really. So, DP for all, on me!
