Lounge Rouge

[Ames Research Station]

[color=#999999]*Opening Protocol*



The Lounge Rouge, a quiet Bar located on the first floor in the lab's part. Far from all noise and public.
Soft drink and meal, High tech equipment, and a fast connection to the Neural Net, in brief a perfect place to discuss, argue and work. Only scientist crew and permitted member have access to it to keep the research secret and in a safe place.

"At last I found a township like...
If here pour vodka and beautiful girls sing jazz - I will be the habitue of this township.

Barman, please, one vodka, cold..."

A compere declared from the stage:
- Ladies and gentlemen, allow present you our star Sophie Milman.
Girl in beautiful red clothes began to sing : "My hearts belong to daddy..."
Zhukovskiy had a drink vodka, with pleasure listening a girl...

"These researches led me in a deadlock. On beginning all went well.
I dare give Cambridge Reserch Station a few prototypes for a study. But when collected almost all copies, we made sure that between them there is no difference. An ordinary serial weapon on stand tests rotined practically those results what prototypes...
Yes, the construction of some copies is unique. But all of it means nothing in the practical use... Here such here problem... We searched an unique weapon, but while not able to find him .
Our researches rotined that from 30 prototypes, only 3-5 can indeed be something to exude between other... So drink vodka... and think that to do we farther...

Ahh... All went to the devil!

Barman, more vodka!..."

A girl began to sing: "Ochi chernie"

[TheJarl]

A man and a woman walk into the bar. They walk to the barman and the man speaks.
"Two Liberty ale, my friend"
As they receive their drinks they turn to Zhukovski.

"Well, well a weaponsresearcher huh?
And the woman adds:
"Creatin' more work fer us, aye?"

[Jamestim]

"Ha-ha! - Zukovsky smiled...

No, gentelmen, I am a not scientist, but I am very interested in developments of new weapon...
I am a mercenary, and I love toys which help to destroy the ships of my opponents.

Za vashe zdorov'ye!" - and had a drink vodka...

"As one forgotten poet wrote:

Что ни век, нам ясней и слышней
сквозь надрыв либерального воя:
нет опасней и нету вредней,
чем свобода совсем без конвоя.

I will translate:

That the century, to us more clearly also is more audible
Through an anguish liberal howling:
There is no more dangerous and more harmfully
Than freedom absolutely without an escort."

[TheJarl]

"So ya're makin' more work fo' us!"
The girl pushes away her already empty glass and asks for a new one. In the mean time the man speaks.
"You sound rather... violent. Are you truly a violent type I wonder? "

[Jamestim]

"Path of good with evil ways
So messed up for centuries,
So as the purest affairs make
With is very dirty hands."

"I only try to relieve our world of some parasites... As well as you treat people relieving them of a pain..."
- he made a mouthful out of the glass.

"But Im not the pirate and not the murderer,
I am ready to rise itself on protection of any, if this point of honor...

Eventually, it is scientific station, and, devil take it, an excellent bar, but we are talking about the philosophical roots of violence...
It is better to have a drink and listen to good music..."

Zhukovskiy turned the look to the stage... On the stage girl sang: "Lonely in New York"

[TheJarl]

"Tha music? Ah na' bad... jus' a bit... borin' ya know?"
She looks around in an uneasy manner.

The man raises his glass.
"But no one will disagree with the drinking part"
He empties the remaining content of the glass in one go and puts it on the bar.
"Though still... who decides who are the parasites?"

[Jamestim]

"Well that... you are absolutely right. Girl that sings is an excellent hologram. So you can choose on the taste that would like here to hear, I am sure.

And as to my "work". I don't speak that I the person without principles...
There are people which I trust also whose interests I defend. If they ask to eliminate someone, and it doesn't go with the contradiction with my preferences why I will refuse to them it...

I rented here laboratory to find the "best tool" for my work...

Нonestly speaking, we with you indeed adhere to the different looks to the outward things. But it doesn't prevent to communicate to us...

Present finally me to the companion and tell, by what devil here brought you mr. Hammersmith?
I heard you bought in the ton of equipment, that to begin the researches here...."

[Ames Research Station]

A guy enter the lounge, he is marching in quick time going right to the Barman. He is holding an heavy briefcase

Hi, Stan, could you send this to Sol', I need The Cryer channel log.

After a short break to get his breath back He suddenly realizes the other people in the bar

Oh sorry I didn't see, you, You must know me I'm Edward Malrone. Sorry to be a bit impolite. But running this station his a full time job.

He laughts

Well It's a good things that you are all here . I have this little paper which need a little signature .

He opens the briefcase and take a paper


Well this his the security and secrecy convention. The security his just to warn you to not endanger the creaw and station. And the secrecy to sue you in case of information leak.

He laughts again

AMES RESEARCH STATION
SECURITY AND SECRECY CONVENTION

Security:

1) All personal and scientist MUST NOT endanger the crew and station by experience and test.

2) All Weapon and dangerous test MUST BE DONE outside the station at 20k MINIMUM

3) All TEST and EXPERIMENT on "Nomad" and bacteria things MUST BE DONE in the appropriate room.
In case of leak The whole lab will be evacuated, decontaminated , sealed and burned. An additional fee will be add to repair the damage.

Secrecy:

All discover and result MUST NOT be spread unless specific exception. In case onf information leak a fee will be add.

[TheJarl]

The pair nod at Edward.
"Seems fair enough, though I wonder about all the secrecy. It might be a difficulty in the future. While we aren't planning on earning money with our results are meant to benefit all people."
He turns to Zukovski.
And to also answer your question. We research on medicine obviously. Relying on Cryer alone is simply no longer possible, we are already being asked to solve epidemics, we need to find new solutions for new diseases. And it is inefficient and ineffective to rely on an external corporation to develop the medicines for us."
