Humphrey Burlington staggered into the bar on Atka Research Station. I didn't know what brought him there. Frankly, it was like falling asleep, then suddenly waking up again. The bar was empty with the exception of the latest Tenderex model that stood behind the bar. Cautiously and warily, Burlington set foot into the bar and furtively glanced around. Up to now, he had been successful in eluding the Bretonian authorities, and the Kusarianese seemed more than happy to help a fugitive from Bretonia. At the same time, they were just as happy to see the seemingly deranged man leave Kusari space.
But his problem no longer just lay with the Bretonians alone now. They had underestimated the strength of the Bretonian intelligence networks. The Libertonian authorities already knew of their doings. They told Humphrey that the Rheinlanders could also be a significant threat, but Humphrey unconsciously reminded them that the Bretonians had a knack for sniffing out Rheinlanders and the fact that they were at war meant security was maxed out. It seemed to appease them for the present moment.
Finding a seat a the closest table, Humphrey began to doze off.
Time for us to take over, Humphrey. You're so very tired...tired, right?
"I'm tired, hell yes, I'm tired as f***," muttered Humphrey.
"Ex-cuse me, sir. Do you nee-d some-th-ing?" inquired the bartender unit.
"F off, you bloody tin can," muttered Humphrey sheepishly.
"Ye-s, sir," responded the bartender unit.
Time to sleep, Humphrey...we'll do the work now.
Although limited in cognitive function, the bartender unit did notice the human being that had just entered the room suddenly fall face flat against the table top. The movement attracted the unit's attention, and it turned to point its visual analyzer at Humphrey.
Burlington stayed down for the next several minutes. But suddenly rose and opened his eyes. If you looked hard enough, there were no pupils, but tiny, silvery, half-circles suspended in the green irises of the man.
They were on a mission. Like how humans explored the unknown with their vessels... Humphrey Burlington had simply become a vessel for exploration as well.
