------The hour was late and Mactan's bar was full as usually. Adam Walker, a Lane Hacker pilot entered the place slowly, from far entrance. He stopped and looked around. There've been people Adam's recognized at first sight, but also some he didn't. Despite that, he wasn't surprised, he's been in a bar and bars are known for attracting various people's attention. Peter White, the Mactan Bartender seemed to be quite busy serving booze there and there. Although some tables were already reserved, Adam found a suitable one in dark corner of the room - a place both separated from unwanted ears and with possibility to keep an eye at bar's entrance.

"Yes, that place will be perfect" - he thought and decided he's going to sit there later. He looked at his clock and realized he still have had quite a while, so there was no need to hurry. For now he approached Peter's position by the counter and stood idle as the bartender was busy looking for something with his back turned to Adam. He raised his eyebrow and waited in silence wondering how much time will it take until Peter realizes about his presence. Peter wasn't the youngest guy onboard the Mactan, but he was definitely a person you could trust. He has never revealed the secret, both being sober or drunk. Or at least it seemed so in Adam's opinion.

Everyone present in the bar was busy doing something, it was either planning further moves or just relaxing after long day filled with work. And some were just drinking for alcohol itself, withno any reasons or goals. They either wanted to taste being absent-minded or just were addicted to some kind of alcohol. Summing up, there've been nothing special, just a jumble of random groups of people being busy with themselves. Bar's light just kept some of them hidden and some visible. The atmosphere was filled with some loud conversations being nearly silent with loud music in the background. What's worth noting, the air inside was more or less fresh and not yet filled with smell of vomit. That was either thanks to air filtering devices or people didn't get seriously drunk yet. Maybe the party was yet about to begin.

In the meantime Peter has streightened up and it looked like he found what he's been looking for...
