uhm, excuse me, but where'd you get that xenobrew? the rec commons is the only licensed distributer of xenobrew, xenocoffee and xenococoa, and i'm afraid i'd have to find whoever's illegally selling my products and burn down their houses, enslave their children, and mate with their women have a civilised discussion with them. yes.....that's right

/me leaves in search of the culprit before any suspicion is arroused

[Jhanactus]

TKG: I own a small brewery in Morgan Distribution, or I used to, anyway, so I have a small stock. Don't worry, I'm not about to cut in on your business... that would be illegal, after all.

(Thinking to self)[Besides, we can't have people drinking QUALITY Xenobrew.]

[GeneralTacticus]

Ah, so you're from Morgan Xenobrew, are you? This could get very interesting...

* GT orders a guard from the Foreign Affairs office to keep an eye on TKG and Jhanactus.

/me looks up to watch a bar brawl and possibly join in.

[Jhanactus]

No, no, Your Generalship. I'm not from Morgan Xenobrew or Morgan Anything except as an immigrant to your fine democracy. I did own and operate a multi-tier factory that specialized in gastronomic products of nonterran origin, when I was a citizen in Morgan Distribution, but I had to sell it before immigrating. I did, however, keep a large cache of... personal supplies, momentos, that sort of thing. Also, I was involved in the research of a... quasi-military philosophy that espoused sea-based shipping lanes, and security for them, instead of simply using wheeled and treaded transportation. Security against those Isles of the Deep, of course. Ornery creatures, those. Incedentally, I hear there were some unusual mind worm specimens here earlier?

just as long as you're not producing or selllng it, i'll let you off

[FlameFlash]

Yes... a green variety that seemed to want schoolgirls...

" He entered the place with a lot of hesitation. He hoped that the UN Peacekeeping Federation had a very different concept than the Hive as far as the recreation commons were concerned.

He remembered the violent games that took place there. At the time where he was brainwashed, he found them quite relaxing, seeing all those people jumping at each other throats during games of "Rollerball" or "Communal Nexus' City Survivor".

But now that he had his freedom of mind again, he found them quite frigthening indeed. In fact, all this violence was used as a way to control and repress Drone revolt by allowing them to express their most violent instinct in a controlled manner.

He did not know what to expect from the UN recreation commons though. What were those people doing to wind up and chill out ? What was their definition of good time (If Aaron even knew what this concept means anyway) ?

There were quite a few holographic device dispered a bit everywhere in the basement. They were projecting the image and sound of a seemingly popular group nammed " XenoBananarama". ( )

The music sounded a bit stupid to his ears but the people out there were dancing to it and seemed to have fun, a strange smile on their face. He wondered were this smile was coming from.

" She's got it, yoplay oh she's got it.
I am your Nessus ( ) I am your fire ... "

Then he noticed the rate at which those people were drinking as well as the strange appereance of the beverage in their glasses.

He then proceeded to go to the bar to order something to drink for himself."

- Hum .... euh ... Bartender, can you tell me which beverage you are proposing there ?

Out of character :

BARTENDER !!! I AM THIRSTY lol

[DeathByTheSword]

try the black stuff aaron

[Aaron Blackwell]

The black stuff ???

What's that black stuff ?? Well who cares anyway....

Garçon, one black stuff please !!

Ad Fundum Camarades!! ( no I am not communist lol )

[Earwicker]

Just be careful of the dreaded Black Stuff Hangover . . .



* pays his tab, tips the barkeep, and wanders outside to find a ride back to TBIBTU.

[Mr. President]

What a day. I spent the morning up to my elbows in cement. Could you pass me something pungent, barkeep?

[Kirov]

Bartender, Yang Daniels, please!

Aaron, how it was in the Hive? The rumours spread fast.

[Maniac]

For all the newcomers, this is the most recent menu:

Xenobrew (Support TKG's monopolistic ambitions the Research Department!)
Xenocoffee - with xenomilk and synth0sugar
Xenococoa

Wine list

Red Sol de Mesa (Wine out of the good sunny Mesa fungus - tastes fine with the sealurk - will become available after we've discovered that place )
White Yugo de Suelo Pholussia (A wine I can´t recommend completely; a little too sweet)
Doceagua (From the nearby Freshwater Sea)

We have been thinking about serving warm meals. Handy for workers with a late shift:

Chopped Psych Worms with Lurk-Blood Sauce
Lurkroast with Monsoon-Salad
Fungus Tower Schnitzel with deep-fried worms
Pickled Spores

Sorry for my short absence everyone. I was in Concordia the last few days organizing a rebellion against the commissioner ...err my election campaign for governor.

Mr. President, I would suggest a Bloody Miriam. Not asked a lot, but an undiscovered diabolical drink! You'll feel in hell.

Yang Daniels?? Is this a new drink brought from the Hive by Aaron??
