A few quiet deals

[Caedes]

A quiet bar near one of the loading bays, Freeport 1.

"This seat taken?"

The man stopped reading his datapad and looked up to see a woman standing by the chair on the opposite side of his table.
He looked around the bar and saw that most of the other seats were empty, there were only a few people in the bar at that time of day, as most of the regular patrons were loaders who were currently working.

"Not yet, but I'm waiting for someone."

"Who's the someone?" came her reply.

The man turned his datapad around to show her a picture of herself as well as some text that she didn't have time to make out before he turned the datapad off.

"Please take a seat, Alexis." he said, offering her a glass of water from the centre of the table.

Alexis sat down, declining the offer.

"So, how much information do you have on me on that datapad?"

"Not that much, only enough for me to recognise you. We could dig around to find more information on you, but it's not a good way to know someone. I find it much more preferable to talk to people to find out about them."

She thought to herself for a moment.
"So what do you want to know?"

"Well, Let's begin with some work related questions.. Where do you work? What kind of skills and qualifications do you possess?"
