Sunbucks Cafe

[Garrett Jax]

Seymore Justice stumbled through the glass doors of the Sunbucks Cafe, physically exhausted and mentally overjoyed all at the same time. He just finished a gruelling patrol, which involved Outcasts, illegally obtained ships, contraband smugglers and an overly annoying Ensign from the Liberty Navy named Jorge.

On the bright side, he got to work with the Chief himself while doing patrols. His morale always improved when Matt Myers got his hands dirty with the lowly grunts like himself.

Dropping into his chair with a loud thud, Seymore raised his hand for the waitress to take his order. "Shirley Temple", he declared with all seriousness. The waitress turned to get the drink with a bemused grin. He grabbed her arm and she spun toward him in alarm. "No ice," he bellowed. "It's been a rough night."

As the waitress left, Seymore looked up to see John Kimble, new recruit to the LPI. There was something vaguely familiar about this chap. Broad muscular shoulders, square jawed face, dark sunglasses and not a smile to be seen anywhere. Seymore didn't mind rude behavior. Heck, the LPI were entitled to it, what with all they have to deal with. Seymore stood up, extended a hand in friendship and stated, "Welcome to the LPI, Mr. Kimble. I'm glad you're on our side."
