Because offering alcohol to an on duty cop never went sideways for anyone in the history of the universe.
Re: Jump To Spectra
As a currently off duty cop, yes. I mean perhaps in Texas it's not frowned upon but up here it is.
Re: Jump To Spectra
The Colonel chuckles at the bottle and holds his hand out palm forward saying, "No, I'm afraid that's not allowed. However, if you want to meet me at my local pub tonight, I'll buy a round for your whole crew? It's The Third Rail at the corner of Belmont and Cervantes."

Darrian shrugs. Each planet is different, I wanted to include you instead of assume. No insult taken. I will ask my crew to attend, I will take the ship watch.
in the matter of drinking on the job. When I was a boarding officer for the Coast Guard for the big container ships, I would either be given food and beer and/or a bottle of spirits afterwards. Favorite was a 325' Russian Petro tanker after the wall came down, 10am in in morning`We friends now, we drink'. vodka in ice and 6oz water glasses.... I took home a bottle, BEST vodka ever!

Re: Jump To Spectra
Yeah, we'd get fired for drinking on the job or accepting anything from clients. Accepting anything beyond a handshake is considered bribery. Now back in the day guys used to show up with bottles of booze at xmas but ya that's super frowned upon now. That all changed about 20 years ago... Fudge have I been doing the same job for 20 years?

You shut your mouth... I'm not that old. Went on vacation, got COVID, feel like shit and I can't sleep so that's not helping at all.

The Colonel and doctor make their exits and you're left on the Akus Moby. You have an open air booth for the big market in town tomorrow to "show off your wares" that will be followed by offers. You aren't sure exactly how that is done here, it could be an auction, closed bids, or something else.
OOC: Other than the machinery you're transporting to Dylan/Monrovia and the grav belts/riders, don't you also have another cargo?

Re: Jump To Spectra
OOC: I double checked, no, no cargo other than the Machinery you're transporting to Dylan/Monrovia and the grav tech you got on Mark and didn't sell until now. If no one is interested in visiting Startown, a bar, a restaurant, etc. the first evening, we can move the scene to the next morning where you are setting up a booth at the big Market downtown. If I don't get...let's go into town tonight...I'll move it along.

Re: Jump To Spectra
Not seeing any comment other than Terry's, I'll assume everyone is fine with a "night on the ship" and move on to the next day...terrymixon wrote: ↑Tue May 31, 2022 10:34 pmTomorrow is fine with Lily.Eris wrote: ↑Tue May 31, 2022 9:02 pm OOC: I double checked, no, no cargo other than the Machinery you're transporting to Dylan/Monrovia and the grav tech you got on Mark and didn't sell until now.
