Sunbucks Cafe

[Garrett Jax]

Garrett Jax was just about to investigate some odd slurping noises in the back corner, when a Liberty Police officer stormed inside Sunbucks, carefully holding in his hands what appeared to be a cup of coffee. The officer looked as if he just woke up and ran a marathon on his way over.

Now that's customer service.

The officer introduced himself as a Sergeant Jonas Valent. Only a sergeant? Do any of the leaders actually work? Any thoughts of being slighted disappeared as Garrett took the cup of coffee from the officer. He thanked him and took a sip.

Suddenly, from out of nowhere, [Admin]Doc Holliday beamed to his table, seated in a chair right beside him. Caught by surprise, Garrett instinctively spewed out a mouthful of coffee onto the poor officer who was equally surprised at the appearance of the second Admin.

Garrett took a napkin and started cleaning the mess, again. So, that's how mortals feel when we pop in like that, he thought. I nearly crapped myself.

Doc placed an order for a cup of black coffee to Sergeant Valent. The look on the officer's face was priceless. Garrett didn't even think the officer realized yet that his face was dripping with coffee. To have two Admins sitting together, waiting to enjoy a drink, had to be overwhelming for him.

Garrett decided to help him out. He reached for his SCAB and typed in a simple command: .beam Sergeant Valent X-5 coffeemaker. Immediately, the officer disappeared.

There. I hope that doesn't give him a heart attack. These mortals are so fragile sometimes.

He turned to Doc. "So, have you read about the latest happenings on the Temple?" asked Garrett. "I'm currently working on a way to solve our resulting coffee shortage."

Garrett took a sip of his coffee and smiled. Finally. The warm brew danced upon his tongue and warmed him clear to his toes. Yep, I think I've found a satisfying coffee supplement to the Temple's brew.

"Doc, when you're coffee arrives," said Garrett. "Let me know what you think. I might let this police group take my Venator for a run around Manhattan if you find their coffee satisfactory."

Doc's eyebrows perked up when he heard Garrett mention the Venator.
