Welcome to the Tea & Pee Bar at Fortitudine .... enjoy your stay!

[Shalo]

A strange and masked pilot enters the bar.

The Security of the bar quickly notices and demands him to take the gun away. *Damn sharp security he whispers, this gun could not even hurt a fly*
He sits in a table and asks if he could talk to Lord MacRae about a business offer.
*Meanwhile bring me a Scotch Single-Malt, Bretonian Young Bull Fillet and cut on that salad.... those "Docs" pff what do they know of my health? And bring me an Havanna style cigar too!"

*Waits for Lord MacRae*

[Lord.MacRae]

*After a long time travelling to customers, doing business, drinking, having fun on Emlentons Casino & Bar, the Lord's Renzu Liner docks at Fortitudine.*

*The T'n'P was well attendent today and MacRae lets his gaze wandering the view, a mining crew watching female zero gravity slime wrestling on the holoscreen, Jim serving a meal and a scotch to a frightening dressed person, a BPA officer having breakfast corner lounge*

*MacRae stepping towards the bar, saluting toward Jim Bean, the bartender smiling and waving*
Jim: "Good day Mylord, I am glad you are back from your travels, travels with successful conclusions I hope."

*The Lord taking a seat at the bar*
MacRae: "It was a very good feeling to finally dock at the base, after two weeks of travels. I was disburdened seeing it fully operational, still hanging around in that asteroid field, undamaged."

*Jim nodding but with a big questionmark in his facial expression*
Jim: "You had the feeling Fortitudine being destroyed during your travels? Why that? The engineering crew for the base did a good job as every day. Here yor are Sir, a free drink."

*MacRae sighs*
MacRae: "Thanks Jim. I do not know, I can not explain it, it was just a bad feeling. That Gaian terrorists really like to accuse us .... me ... my work and plans .... Anyways, Jim, who ist that strange looking guy over there? He looks like a cruel and brutal killer, but with excellent habits .... he is using spoon, fork and a knife ...."

*Jim smiling*
Jim: "He tried to enter the Bar with a gun and I have no idea why the docking crew did let him enter the base with it. Does he have a special permission? Oh look, he is coming over .... prepare yourself Duncan ..."

The strange pilot walks into the Lord's direction and sits right next to him.

"Hola señor MacRae, i will ask you to excuse my accent."
Asks the bartender for another Scotch Single-Malt.
"I wanted to speak to you about a contract offer.Me and my squad of freelancers are currently looking for a job. So i came here to offer you some protection for your men and base. Or maybe if you need someone to supply your base?"
Picks up the Scotch and takes a sip.
"I also couldn't help but listen about some trouble with the Gaian organization.I could try and*waits to continue*... well make them more kind to you *creepy smile*.Of course all of this would come with a small and affordable... price? yeah i think we could call it that and with affordable i mean a very easy price.
What do you think señor MacRae?"
Remembers to explain something else.
"Another thing, in case you are wondering how i got in...lets just say it isn't that hard to sneak into a transports cargo hold*winks*"

[Lord.MacRae]

*The Lord raising his eyebrow, monitoring the person*
MacRae: "Good day stranger, you wear an interesting outfit. It should be intimidating, correct Sir?"

*Turning to the bartender*
MacRae: "Jim bring that gentleman one more scotch on my bill and make sure it is the special one."

*Jim nodding and fetching a bottle from somewhere under the bar*
Jim: "Here you are, Sir and here one for you Mylord."

*MacRae coughs*
MacRae: "Well Mr. Unknown, my Lord is Lord Duncan MacRae and I am in charge of that installation here. How can we arrange a favour for each of us?"

*Everyone taking a nip from their drinks*
MacRae: "Mister, are you aware of our Fortitudine Security? You can join FortiSec to defend that station and its inhabitans permanently or you can also work on Bounty contract. I hope you think the payment is reasonable. If you need any equipment from our armoury, please request it.."

*Emptying his cup*
MacRae: "Hm, base supplies, of course. You know, that base needs supplies every day. You can transpot as much Reinforced Alloy, Water, Oxygen and Food Rations as the base can store. Although there are trading and buy possibilities near the prices are fair."

[Shalo]

"I am sorry about that Lord MacRae. My name is Xalo Senun, i am the lieutenant of the [FL-ER] squad, wich stands for "Freelancers Escort & Repair".

Takes off his mask.

drinks some of the scotch.

"Well we are more then happy to acept the Bounty Contract and to supply your bases to feed ourselfs and get some repairs for our ships, but we are not that interested in joining Fortitudine's security."
Gives it another sip.

"But we would like to ask you permission to dock on your bases. For the only porpuse of supplying the bases and sleep after a day of filling in the bountys.Think that can be taken care of?"

Stays quiet while thinking if he had forgotten something.

"Oh, thats right, do you want us to watch out for any particular group of trouble makers?Mollys?Hackers?Or just all?"

---

[Lord.MacRae]

*After discussing the conditions accompanied by some drinks the final result of the negotiation was a supply and a general Manchester defence contract with [FL-ER]*

"Well, thank you Lieutenant. A pleasure to do business with your squad. May you please do me a favour Sir? Next time please just knock at the docking-gates or call the base supervision. You really do not nee to hide in that container filled with Durian fruits ... you know they ... smell a little strange. See you soon Sir!." *laughs*

*Still laughing the Lord wents over to a little lounge, telling the bartender to bring an Earl Grey tea with by a show of hands, waiting there for his tea and nipping on his drink, Duncan MacRae watches some of his engineer staff installing some cables, screens and a sound system*

"Damn what are they doing? We already have a little disco here ....."

A man walks into the Tea and Pee bar and heads over to the bar, he stops to look around for a while, recalling the first time he had entered the bar and talked to Lord MacRae.Then he starts talking to the bartender.

Xalo:Good day Jim!
I'd like to have a Scotch Single-Malt and some Original Bretonian Sausages with pork bacon, eggs, baked beans, mint sauce and chips.


Jim: Sure thing, here is your Scotch. I will tell the cooks to start making those bretonian Sausages


Xalo:I also wanted to ask if you could see if Mr.Conner is avaible to meet me here?*

After this, the man sits at a table close to the bar counter and starts drinking from his Scotch while waiting for Zak and his food.

[Shalo]

After about an hour Xalo already had 4 empty glasses of Jim's Single-Malt , so thinking he should maybe stop for a while, he gets up and heads toward the bartender.

Xalo: Hey mate...

Xalo pauses , thinking about what he had just said. "Mate" ... back in Crete he would never use a word like that.

Xalo *whispering*: Guess i'm learning more with Bretonia then the taste of their booze and how to get a share of their money.

He looks back at the bartender.

Xalo: Could you get me a bottle of Pure Manchester Asteroid Water?

Jim: Here you go sir!

Xalo takes a sip of water and asks jim:

Xalo: Do you know how much longer Mr.Conner might take?

Jim: I'm sorry sir, but i am not sure.

Xalo: Fine, then i will get back to my table. Could you give me an Havanna Style Cigar before i go?

Xalo takes his seat and lits up his cigar.

Zak walks into the bar and looks so tired and exhausted and again he have this feeling that something squeezing his chest knowing that Lord.MacRae is not here and make a sign to the bartender to bring a bottle of whiskey and goes directly to Xalo's table.

Hello Mr. Xalo its very nice to meet you here how is everything ? have you been here for a while ?

Zak make a sign for the bartender to come and asks Xalo what you would like to drink ? did you eat yet ?


The bartender comes with the bottle and open it and Zak sit back on his chair drinking his whiskey and looks at Xalo to order something So tell me Mr. Xalo are we still gonna continue our supply contract ?

[Shalo]

Xalo:Hello Mr.Zak!

*he takes a sip from a half drank glass with some scotch in it*

Xalo:You sure have some nice drinks here at the Tea & pee. I'm sorry i asked your presence here i understand you may be tired after a long day of work.

*he drinks again this time emptying the cup*

Xalo:I'm sorry we haven't been able to deliver as much supplies as we used to but we will try to take care of that. I'm here on another subject however.

*He signals Jim to bring him another Scotch*

Xalo:We have received a delivery order from someone in Planet New Berlin and they are asking us for a large delivery of Gold Ore. I would like to ask if you could arrange your miners to get us about 20,000 units of Gold? We would pay you the usual amount we spend to buy it here at Fortitudine and we can even offer you some escort services to protect your vessels during the mining operation.

Jim: Here you are sir, your drink.

Xalo: Thank you!

*he takes a sip from the glass and turns back to Zak*

Do you think it would be possible to arrange something like this? I understand you are hearing this in such a short notice but we would also like to ask this to be avaible by the 18th so we can deliver the gold in the time that was requested to us.
