. . . LOCATION: Deep Space Relay Station Waypoint . . .
. . . Time: 5:00 somewhere . . .
The battered G1-A Starfighter, Manda Money, settled into an open slot in the landing bay alongside an eclectic variety of smaller star-faring ships. Outside, larger freighters had docked along the orbital rings of the unnamed station. This far out, any spot to take a break, socialize, stretch one’s appendages and breath someone else’s recycled air was. Not to be passed up. Of course, those with money to spare got access to private docks and the nicer, more exclusive, portions of the club and all the perks that offered. The rest of the patronage were left to the lower levels of said establishment, blocked from the alluring riches above by locked doors and security droids. That was not a luxury that Xim Zhan could or would afford though.
Still, a chance to drink something that might not be quite as recycled and eat somebody else’s cooking was hard to not pass by. So quietly he disembarked; sure to secure his craft behind him as a band of unsavory looking Rodians eyeballed his golden armor from a distance, chittering to themselves as they fingered their blasters. For a waypoint this far from civilized space, the local security was pretty lax when it came to weapons. Probably figured nobody was dumb enough to do anything that would risk the station itself or the anger of whoever it was that might keep it afloat. That, or the unseen security measures were enough to keep patrons in line when the front of bouncers and bots could.
Striding into the pulsating lights and music, Xim stood for a few minutes eyeballing the plethora of ad hoc residents who had taken to trying to make a buck on-station and the variety of vsgabonds and travelers. Eventually a rather intoxicated fellow and his play-the-part twi’lek ‘friend’ vacated a booth and Xim made a beeline to it before it got snatched up by some other drunken sot. it. It passed for clean, for what it was worth, and so he slid into the seat.
Pulling his T-visored helm from his head, Xim shook out his hair, placing the helmet between himself and the wall on the bench. He then swung the secured holo-menu projector toward him and began to half-heartedly flick through the options, mumbling under his breath at both the price and lack of options.
With any luck, a server droid or waitress would be by soon enough.
