Sunbucks Cafe

[collins]

Art Collins was frustrated. He had stopped at Fort Bush after a successful mission to pick up new supplies and to have some repairs made. The repairs were all finished some time ago, but now he was caught here by an exceptional ion storm. It already lasted for days. The forecast authority had given up to predict the end of this storm, having been proven wrong by reality with their first forecasts.

Arts application for the LPI had just been accepted and Art was on the way to get together the prerequisites for his commencement of duties. He still had to get a suitable ship and equipment and now this!
He had used the time to study some of the papers he had got after the medical examination, but it was a lot to remember. He also had the impression that the ion storm had a bad influence on his nerves and concentration.

He expected an update on the ion storm for the next day, so he decided to head for Sunbucks Cafe for his first time. He hadn't planned to show up there before having everything ready, but the heck with it!

Art entered the cafe and approached the bar. After studying the menu he said loud:
"A Sunbuck chocolate coffee please!"
"Good day," replied the bartender, "I think we never met before. Want it with or without cream?"
"Erm, good day. Make it a double cream."

Art looked around while he sipped his coffee. He saw a lot of people, many of them in uniforms. Unfortunately he did not know anyone of them. Art decided to change this soon and headed back to his cabin after finishing the coffee.

Fighter pilot: You follow my fiancee. You are my rival. I brook no rivals. At six o'clock I shall be in Connecticut, alone, with my Sabre. Do you understand?
Battleship commander: Oh, thank you, that's a fighter pilot's proposal. I'm into heavy ordnance, and I have the choice of weapons. If I go, I shall take my battleship. And there shall be no mistake about the ammunition this time.
