Some time has passed since O'Connor visited the bar for the last time. The job doesn't give much time to relax, however the bar seems a good place to deal with some paperwork while having a drink. Norman orders a drink (Liberty Ale this time) and goes to his favourite table in the corner.
Things have changed since his last visit. He's no longer AiT, after all. Now he got used to his assignments: dealing with spies, trespassers and sometimes with hostage situations, intelligence gathering, etc. Some fights on the simulators installed at New-Heaven station were really helpful. At least one Liberty Rogue who attempted to demand ransom for a dozen of hostages experienced that himself.
Since everyone seems busy or obsessed with their own thoughts, Norman simply sits at his favourite spot and enjoys the drink.
