After having taken care of my responsibilities I set off to find something to do. I had worked hard on preparing the medical bay and moving supplies so I rightfully felt I deserved to relax a bit before we head out. The Commander seems to think this mission could drag on for awhile so I should go ahead and enjoy the RAS while I'm still here.

After awhile I found myself walking through the main business district of the station. There were all sorts of shops, stores, and restaurants to be seen. It was obvious they had tried to model the area after some kind of outdoor shopping mall. The lack of naturalness and charm was obvious though. Then again, what else would you expect from one of the furthermost outposts? You have to appreciate the fact that they even try to bring some normal life comforts to these people. I imagine it helps with sanity. 

I scanned the area with a causal eye. I noticed a bar up ahead called Tony's and as I passed I could see several of my teammates in there. I wanted badly to go in, have a drink, and enjoy their company. [color=9e0039][b]"No, bad idea."[/b][/color] I whispered to myself. [i]I could still go in. No drinking, just socializing.[/i] I thought, or rather bargained with myself. No. I wouldn't do that to myself. With a brief huff I continued to walk. Instead of a bar I decided to spend my time and money at a coffee shop.
