Dr. Vasanta docked his Camara with the station and a small drink of Liberty Ale. "God, that stuff is awful," he though. "But I suppose that's why I'm headed to a bar, now isn't it?"
Most of the crew decided to stick inside the ship, preferring the Liberty Ale they were familiar with. However, Johnson and Gilliam decided to come with Dr. Vasanta to the bar, to get a decent drink and read the News.
As the ragtag bunch came up to the bar, a large man stopped them and searched them for weapons. After confiscating Dr. Vasanta's mini-zapper, they were allowed in and saw the greatest conglomeration of misfits in the galaxy. Corsairs, GMG, Rheinlanders, Hunters, and even a Gaian- all drinking together, laughing and having a good time. Of course, some of the Hunters looked pretty nervous, "But that's to be expected," though Dr. Vasanta, "Most hunters are pretty stuffy that way." Johnson and Gilliam went off to socialize, and Vasanta went up to the bar.
"What'll it be, mate?" said the bartender. "Whatever's most popular, as long as it isn't a Sidewinder," said Vasanta. Next to him was a cute young lady in a Corsair uniform. She turned to face Vasanta.
"And who would you be?" she asked him.
"Rory. Rory Vasanta," he said.
"Vasanta... that's exotic. I like that," she said, grinning at him.
"I get that a lot," Dr. Vasanta said. "So, where's a pretty young lady like you from?
"All the way from Crete. Decided it was time for a change in scenery and left home. But now, I've got
nowhere to go and not a lot of cash left."
"Oh? Well then, would you potentially be interested in traveling with me? I've got a Camara in the docking bay. I go around the galaxy, just researching things and seeing the sights."
"That sounds awesome. I'm in."
The bartender arrived with Vasanta's drink. He drank it all in one swig, paid the bartender, and stoof up. "Well, I'll get my crew and we'll be on our way.
"By the way, what's your name?"
"Cecelia. Just Cecelia."
"Cecelia... I like that name. Alright then, let's be off.
