Manhattan bar

[7 of 9]

Maria moves the hand to her ear, when her mobile intercomm crackles.

'Mistress', it says, 'there are news about the ship software and weapon malfunction'
She sits there, listening fascinated and forgetting the crowd around.
After it ended, she still stares at the table and the ashtray.

"YAY", she shouts and starts laughing, while looking in some faces that ask her to be mad.
With a rush, she approaches the bar, grabbs the mech-tender and pulls his head closer.
It's aggreement shown by flying fingers and a long before recorded laughter, it starts working.
She crosses the room. Hoodlum and Pat, with a very irritated look follow her back to the bar.
The bar's awaiting them with three ugly looking, burning drinks.
She takes one of them, waits them to get theirs, too and says:
"Thank ya, guys. Ya made me ships fly again - I want to have a glass with ya, never knew ya'r
able to remove the security protocols from me ships software-update."
"Ahm... what might this drink be?", Hoodlum asks and Pat's still unsure of surviving it, too.
"This, dear mates, is a recipe, I found at Yaren, long ago - it had no name - till now !
Ya guys made me give it the name 'IND's Glory'.
Thank ya for yar help, mates. What ever ya wish....."
Pat takes breath to say a word but Maria interrupts him: "No - ya don't wanna know, what's in there"
With a laugh, she cheers and they drown it.
Hoodlum smiles: "At least a lot of Tequila in it - another three ?"
