The newcomer moves it's papers in order to protect the writing from a flying chair, then stands up and walks towards the vending machine but the labels are undecipherable due to the coating from the explosion. The figure walks back and recommences writing.

*Starts resetting chairs. The vending machine sprouts legs and walks over next to the bar to be nearer to the patrons.*

The bar had a kind of morning-after-the-party-the-night-before-look about it.
LCA regarded the hopeful looking Vending Machine a moment, and after a moment's pause (largely for effect) deposited a 4 credit coin in the slot and pulled the lever.

The 3 rollers landed on CHOC BAR which the machine duly spat out.
Hmp, sixty three years before it's sell by date...
*Eat within 3 years of manufacture* Erm...

Over at the far side of the bar the temporal eddy zone flickered bluely, (as time vortices do).
Looked like it was sometime in three or four years ago. Count Altair and Slug were fighting over a something with a full bar of patrons cheering them on...

"Good Day barkeep, how's business?"

Kinda slow, actually, Anic. The customers keep freezing or wandering into the temporal disturbance. There's a lot of strange stuff going on. Maybe the bar's drifting off course or something. How's business been with you?

Hmmm, GreenyBlue®©™ Sales are down galaxywide. Probably connected to the general lack of customers, though the vending machine seems happy enough...

Skyfox inspects the dammage from the attack. Everything has ashes all over it, but nothing is broken. "Bartender? Can you get me some of the stuff you coat your tables with? I'd sure love to coat the shell of the "Dawn" with it."

If I may interject, the coating is Acme GreenyBlue®©™ Ultraspray Insta Ceramic Tile spray - available from the er, vending machine over there.

Hands Skyfox a card which plays a tune followed by a greeting:
"CzeÊç! Nazawam si´ Ultraspray i jestem z Acme!"
... and a uselessly small sample materializes above the card.

I happen to be the sole agent for it in the west galaxy.

*Stumbles into the bar bloodied and bruised. Sheathes his Keutae in his sleeve.* Sorry 'bout that, Anic, I was captured by a Greccha raiding party. I managed finally to escape and fight my way to a shuttle, then I was pursued and shot down over a nearby planet, and I had to defeat the crew of the gunboat that landed to get me and commandeer their ship. It ran out of juice just as I got here, and I barely managed to get it into the bay. Anyway, here's your drink. *Walks behind the bar and fixes Anic his order.* No charge.

Thanks, old friend. The old place finally seems to be wheezing its last breaths after years of continuous operation. I don't have the heart to destroy it myself, so I'll just keep it around and see if it doesn't attract some new business in the long haul. Glad to have you around still.

"I guess this area has suffered from a lack of investment in the past few years.
And all the patrons have moved away. The only thing out in that corridor now are spiders, big ones, no offence meant.
Perhaps you should consider a thematic bar...,

or even moving to a different asteroid?"

Glances at the new entrant.
"Better serve him first though...!"
.
.
.
.
The temporal eddy zone over in the far corner flickered a cool greenyblue, (!).
It was sometime in the past. Count Altair and Joveia were having a rethorical conversation.
The zone semed so near, was yet so far, and was in one of those you might chase me but you'll never reach me sort of moods.

Near the vending machines a gang of impoverished station rats were busily mugging one of the cleaning droids that had made the mistake of breaking down in one of the dodgier areas of the bar....

Ah, old friend. It's been so long. I trust you'll spin me a tale of whatever events brought you here once you've wet your tongue? *Goes into the back room for some 'special ingredients.' Comes out with a ruby quartz chalice full of a clear liquid with a dull goldish sheen.* Several brave and stupid patrons have died from even sipping this stuff. I can barely stand half a glass myself before things start to swirl a little. But you, my friend, you look like it could do you some good.

*Yet another incarnation of Mag enters the bar. After glancing around a bit, he approaches the bar.*

Well, it's been a while. I suppose I'll have the usual coke without ice.

Also, I'd like to make a fairly brief mention of this bar in the plug I'm working on, but I figured I should ask your permission before going ahead.

Absolutely, Mag. I'd be honored.

*Serves up an iceless coke and a GreenyBlue*

I really should get to repairing that wall, I suppose. Droid! *Maintenance bot scurries out from back room* Fix this place up. *Droid goes to work.*

Ahh. Y'know, I could use a drink myself. *Fixes an Obish ale*

Okay, so, the full text of the prologue from Assigned Mission 14: Astrotrash Minus, for your approval (though I'll likely become dissatisfied with some part of it eventually and change it in a fairly minor way before I'm done with the plug):


Once again you find yourself watching your ship undergoing repairs. This time, however, you are doing it while enjoying a cold soda in an establishment whose sign proclaims it "The Officer's Club Bar #7." You wonder what the 7 is all about.

The Enforcer really tore the Apocalyptica apart with its flak artillery. Little bits of shrapnel are sticking out of the hull almost everywhere. It's a good thing Naradt's ship hadn't been quick enough to avoid your frontal batteries.

"Excuse me, Captain, may I sit down?"

You look up and are surprised to recognize the face of Admiral Jones. You haven't met him in person, only having seen him before in a few videos.

"Uh, sure."

"Thank you." After sitting and ordering a strange green-and-blue drink, he continues. "You did very well. We admirals were pretty worried about you once we knew the relative sizes of the forces in Pegasus. Thank God for those fusion pulse batteries."

"That's actually what I was just thinking," you say, chuckling slightly.

"Oh really? Well..." After a brief pause, he begins speaking again, more earnestly:

"Captain, the Cantharans are going to be very pleased to hear about Naradt's death, and we think that will be the time to approach them with a plan that we've been formulating for weeks. We're not sure they'll like it, as it requires them to take a huge risk, but if they go for it, we'll soon be having some very important missions that will need a good commander to lead them.

"So... what are you saying?"

"There are several candidates, and I've come here today to let you know that you're one of them."

"I see." You're not really certain what to say to that. Jones heads for the door as you think it over.

"I'm afraid I need to go now. Being an admiral keeps one pretty busy. Continue the good work, Captain."


So whaddaya think?

Mag--Not bad, not bad at all. I'm looking forward to playing this plug-in. At least it'll give me something ter do instead of watching this poor droid.

Sounds good to me, Mag. Be nice to have this place encapsulated in the actual Ares universe.

*Maintenance bot finishes work and scurries back into the back room.* Well now, that's much better. Hmm, wonder where Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes are? I hired them to play a gig this week.
