**Edited first post to fit Lore...I had a small misunderstanding with the NPC's**



Domingo Luc strolled into the bar on Bethlehem station and took a look around. "Nothing new around here" he thought to himself. He made his way to the bar and sat down next to a Blonde in a flight suit. She had a row of shot glasses in front of her.

Luc looked over at her "Bit early isnt it?" and followed that with a nod to the barkeep " Two more of what she is havin"

"Its just for show....guys like drunk girls more than sober ones" She said.

They said nothing for the minute or so it took the Bartender to bring the drinks. He sat staring across the bar at a reflection in a larger mirror of a room full of merchants, pilots and traders. Luc analyzed and watched, looked them all over. Trying to make out who the mark was.

As the drinks where showing up the blonde twisted back around to the bar grabbed her glass. As she put the glass up to her lips she said. " The skinny one ...Hes is an independent Yorkie...came looking for some synth...His Rhino is in slot 354 on the lower cargo bay..He has a load of engine components and 2 crates of small arms...Ive seen the manifest from a friend we have in common."

"Can you keep him occupied for an hour?" Luc asked wondering if an hour was enough time to unload and repack a rhino with storage crates filled with space rock. The guns would come in handy..and the engine components he could always pawn off to the junkers.

" Yea..but leave me some credits...I may have to buy HIM the drinks to keep him interested."

He smirked. Not many men could resist her. He knew that was not the case. She must need the extra credits.l
" ya ..fine....we can do that..." he said.

They both downed their drinks and the blond walked off. Luc turned around to the Bartender.
"here" throwing a small pile of credits on the bar..."this is for anything she may need and this for you." He pulled out three boxes off Pharmaceuticals from his jacket pocket and dropped them discreetly behind the bar. The Bartender nodded.

"....hey have you seen that guy named Lancaster around lately?" asked Luc

The Bartender just nodded a slow "No" as he pretended like he was whipping up a spill and and made the boxes of Pharma disappear into his bar apron pocket. His niece was almost out and this would get her through the month.

"No ? ...ok..yea..see him...tell him i stopped by."

Off in the distance " Well HI there Handsome....You wanna buy my a drink". The blond started to go to work on the Mark.

Domingo smiled. How could all these guys fall for this? and then he thought about it...He had fallen for it as well, or almost fallen for it as the case would be. He made is way back out of the bar and headed to the cargo docks. He needed to work fast.
