[color=8882be][i]“This seems like a good place to start.”[/i][/color] The door slid open, revealing a crouched figure, hidden by a brown cloak. The figure clutched the cloak tightly, its eyes darted around bar. It took a step inside and entered the climate controlled environment. Immediately the figure started to relax, it slouched less and slowly released the cloak from its claws. With a flamboyant flourish Ishal removed the cloak, revealing his purplish carapace armour and hide.

Ishal eyes finally adjusted to the room and realised that the only two people there was an android bartender and a blue haired humanoid female. The more immediate concern was behind them. A notice board, displaying in bright neon lights [i]“Kitchen closed.”[/i]

[i][b][color=8882be]“Oh Grag!”[/color][/b][/i] he grunted and turned to go outside. As he stepped through the threshold he was greeted by the cold chill outside. He wondered briefly what to do, before realising the bartender was staring at him. Faced with the possibility of facing the cold again or waiting inside for the climate control beyond the bar…He pulled up a stool at sat near the bar. He noticed several items on the bar.

[i][color=8882be]“How much for that?” [/color][/i]He pointed at one of them.  Before the android could answer he picked up the item and started chewing. [i][color=8882be] “Strange texture. Synthetic, but not unappealing. What is it?”[/color][/i]

[color=ed1c24][i][b]“BAR MAT.”[/b][/i][/color] It buzzed. Ishal swallowed the mat reached into one of his pockets and produced a data slate and started noting this down.

[i][color=8882be]“How much for more?”[/color][/i] he said reaching for another. The android moved the mat out of the way and produced a bowl of peanuts.

[b][i][color=ed1c24]“ON THE HOUSE.”[/color][/i][/b]  The android started cleaning the surfaces of the bar. Ishal reached for the bowl and poured the entirety of the peanuts into his maw. Whilst he munched happily on the nuts he spread his awareness out across the bar. His Masters during his Prospector training  taught him how to pick up the presence and emotions of other life forms. He felt only two other presences in the room currently, which was weird. The android shouldn’t have given off anything, but he was detecting a slight radiance of annoyance and disgust. However the one he expected to pick up, but could not, was the humanoid female sitting next to him. He was perplexed. It wasn’t always he found someone he couldn’t detect. He needed to study her, but without breaking the rules of social convention. Fortunately his Masters had made him take Interspecies, Non-Communities, Male to Female, conversational basics 1O1.

Rule1. Greet them verbally if possible.
[i][color=8882be]“Hello -“[/color][/i]

Rule2. Comment on their suspected species and introduce self.
[color=8882be][i]“-human.  I am Drone 415Q Orbix, but many find it easier to refer to me by my unique identifier, Ishal.-“[/i][/color]

Rule3. Comment on their appearance and focus on similarities to establish a raptor.
[i][color=8882be]“I too bleed when I am stabbed.”[/color][/i] Ishal leaned in indicating the pink patch on the human’s shirt. “[i]

[color=8882be]Could I eat your.."[/color][/i] Ishal checked his notes. [i][color=8882be]"Bar mat?”[/color][/i]
