"If there is anything you can think of you might want later, give us a call.

Afraid. Brings out a fresh bottle of scotch and a few glasses and puts them on the table, opens and pours and hands the first one to the Colonel.

Because offering alcohol to an on duty cop never went sideways for anyone in the history of the universe.

As a currently off duty cop, yes. I mean perhaps in Texas it's not frowned upon but up here it is.

Oh, it's probably not a good plan here, either.

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!

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?

OOC: I think it's over 30 for some of the games I'm running on line.


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?

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. :)

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...
