h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Thankyou Venom. It's about time we got more people over here, I've not seen many people in this part of the hotel, apart from you and Axe. Talking of Axe, maybe he could do with some of your sober-all *Runs to the Hanger Bay and gives some Sober all to Axe.* That should help.

Eughh... I think I'm OK ...

OK, maybe a bit more of that stuff...

*drinks some more SoberAll*

That should... do... fine.......

......

That SoberAll really is great stuff. I'm thinking of keeping a supply of it up here at the front desk. You never know when it could come in handy.

I'd be happy to fit a pipe down for you. I'm not sure that CV'd be happy about it though: it'd run straight through one of his power feeds .

I doubt CV would approve of that. Maybe it's better if I just opened a site-to-site transport with the Bar. It would definatly make my life easier.

That's not a good idea either: the transports aren't very good with most drinks, 'cause they end up tasting terrible. I think the filters need cleaning or something.

*calls up a maintaince map of the Starpilot*

Hmm... EVA, could I route a R6 pipe through that area between the bar and the Reception?

[EVA] Computing, please standby... Displaying shortest avaliable route within R6 parameters... Done.

[Axe] *takes a look* Good idea, I hadn't thought of doing that. Fred, I should be able to fix up a pipe for you, but it'll take a while and I'll need Venom to open up all of the Maintainence tubes for me, 'cause I've only been able to hack the security on a few of them .

*Takes a look at the plans.* Good idea that. Thankyou very much.

I'll ask Venom about it. EVA, where's Ve...

[EVA] *cuts in* Captain Venom is currently in stasis.

[Axe] Thank you *whispers* EVA's in a bad mood today

That can't be a good thing for the hotel. I'd suggest she should take a break. But that could be difficult for the stations central computer.

By the way, I've been having a look at the UBS Tripwire. It's an impressive starship.

*pops out from behind the counter with a screwdriver, his Palm, and a solder iron* Oh, I just thought EVA needed an attitude adjustment. The lounge across the way has drinks, and if you choose "drunk mode" (slap screen, palm open in no particular area) it will bring a shot of sober-all with each drink.

Yeah, but I'd be better to get it piped straight down.

*passes CV his palm, which shows data indicating the increased visitor count, revenue... etc.*

*maintenance staff are seen routing two R6 conduits from the lounge supply hub to the front desk, one carrying alcohol, and the other Sober-All*

*orders a martini to test it out* Yep, it works! *drinks*

*hotsyncs Palm with Axe and checks out the figures* Impressive.

Yeah, very good. I'll have to start paying the maintainence staff .

alchohol as well, that really is usefull.

Yeah, alcohol's cool.

*Sends two of his little dwarf-men to fix up an alcohol supply*

Thyey're paid enough. Free room and bored, and two drinks a week.

You know that's not enough. Even I get more than that!

Sounds fair to me. I doubt they could hold as much alchohol as us anyway.

One day I might try

* (wishes that there was an smiley).*

Axe, you're the bartender. All of your alcohol is free, and all alcohol is free for your use, you know that. Besides, those guys would run us into the ground in a week.
