Help
Salrilian Gin, eh? Been awhile since a bartender last tried to serve me a shot of that. Turned out he was an agent of that Cantharan Prophet whatshisname... damned if I remember. Anyway, took him by surprise when I asked for a second one, though not as much as when I used that second one to force the names of all twelve of Earth's section chiefs out of him.
Exciting times. Almost as exciting as all that business with the Oracular Net and its alleged approaching sentience.

Approaching sentience? We... er, I have no idea what you're talking about.

*slide the frothing shot glass across the table, fighting back an adolescent grin* All yours, old friend. Although I still have no idea why in the 'verse you'd want to drink that stuff.

My dear, dear Angel. It has been a while, hasn't it? Can't say the old establishment has changed a great deal, excepting the latest craze of the maintdroids, which seems to involve tap shoes. I'm sure you've been off making yourself known across the length and breadth of known space, old friend.

*SA picks up the shot, lifts it, savours the smell, and then knocks it back* Making myself known? No, I've been busy making myself less known. All that excitement a few years back resulted in far too much attention for my liking. Hell, some federal detective back on Earth accused me of being involved in some plot to overthrow the government. Took a lot of work to have my profile drop low enough to be drinking around here again.
*Discretely belching a gout of flame, SA stretches languidly* But enough about me. Tap shoes and maintenance robots, you say? That sounds like the makings of an off-Broadway musical.

*The bar's automated defenses target and vaporize the strange alien probe that had held the bar in a stasis field for several weeks.* Damn. I hate it when mysterious alien probes pop up univited. Well, only one thing to do now. Salvage! *Dons spacesuit and heads for the airlock.*

Uhh... you may want to be careful with that airlock. The outer bulkhead hasn't been closing correctly as of late.

Hmm, I guess it may be in a bit of disrepair. I'll take the auxiliary lock in the storeroom, assuming I can find it. That new shipment may have made the route to it a bit hazardous...

What the... I thought the droids took care of the rats. Maybe you should think twice before buying driods from a Bazidan whose name translates to "dirty money".

*Returns from the storeroom covered in tiny blastmarks and debris, holding five rat carcasses by the tail.* Well, I just broke up what has apparently become a weekly droid-rat poker game. I'm gonna reprogram these guys. The dancing thing was plenty weird enough without them being rodent collaborators. Ugh. All right, for the time being I've shut down the droids and I'm going to go take a look at the wreck floating outside. *Goes back to storeroom.*

*Returns to the bar with his spacesuit covered in snow and wrapped in odd blinking lights.* Well, there was nobody in the spacecraft but this jolly old crazy guy in a red suit who said he was on his way to Earth on some kind of bizarre mission to distribute playthings and sundries to the population. Odd. I wonder what I should do with these lights? Ah well, guess I'll just string 'em up around the bar for a little decoration.

You know, I remember the days when the flying gift delivery service was still regarded as an urban legend. Funny how times change, isn't it? And incidentally, I notice the flow of Salrilian Gin coming my way has been reduced somewhat. Barkeep, would you be so kind as to rectify the issue?
Oh, and I think I broke one of your maintenance droids. It seemed to be attempting to terminate me.

... steps over broken droid (one of it's eyes is still glowing red, just about...) as a Jawa prods it gingerly.
Any chance of a GreenyBlue with old fashioned H20 ice cubes?
I see the temporal eddies are bad again, days feel like months round here.

*walks over to the vending machine, puts in change, grumbles something vagrant accompanied by a slap to the machine and pulls out a dusty Dr. Pepper*
Apparently the only reason it gave me change the first time around was because it was trying to get a hold of somebody to fix it. Could of told me that earlier, I guess...
But anyway, does anybody know how the bio-weapons trade is holding up on Kon?

Ah, Kon... about that... I'm afraid I was involved in a little temporal-spatial issue there... nothing major... but it isn't going to be practical to access it from the regular space-time continuum for a while. You might have notice the ripples from the bar here - they make days feel like months?

Actually, the price of bio-weapons ought to be high, and if it isn't, then pulling weapons off of another planet isn't worth while, since the nearest spot to buy bio-weapons is half-way across that particular quadrant of space. You can only pull a good haul off bio-weapons as long as the price difference between the high and low prices stays relatively high.

LCA beams into the bar, puts a coin into the Hagrabiscuit Vending Machine and pulls the lever extracting a GreenyBlue®©™
Nothing like the real taste.
The eerie dull green/yellow of the Machine's illuminators cast shadows upon the shadows of the bar.
LCA beams out and the Vending Machine goes back into sleep mode, after pocketing the coin.

Mack walks back in, unsurprised at the level of dust covering every stool, chair, and table.
"I'll have another one on the tab, thanks…" he says to the bartender, who slings a cold root beer down the bar to him.

At last he came to a door, with these words in glowing emeralds: THE END OF THE WORLD. He did not hesitate. He opened the door and stepped through.

Did you hear? The Bar tender left for Zion 8 weeks ago.
*chucks a dollar into the soda machine and gets a Dr. Pepper in a glass bottle*
Ah... This is what real men drink. Not that Salrilian Booze stuff, just a Dr. Pepper.
