Janet entered the bar, closely followed by her new acquaintance who was carrying the still unconscious Cestus. His wound had stopped bleeding, hopefully meaning that her improvised bandage worked, but he was clearly still in need of medical attention. It didn't take more than a quick glance across the room to identify the table her captain and a few of her crewmates had hijacked. The female android, Cyl, if her memory served right, was obviously crying, the reason for which Janet could only guess sat next to her.  The captain had so far not done much to impress - at least not in a positive way. Impressive was only how he had managed to get himself, and probably everyone else, into trouble that quickly and just by selling Nickel, a task usually as mundane as watching an amateur snail race. Yet he seemed genuinely sorry or concerned enough to do his best to cheer up Cyl - well he tried at least. Right across them stood Andreas by the table with a, what she interpreted as, puzzled look on his face. Janet pointed at him: [color=yellow]"This is the android we are looking for."[/color] The big rikari followed her to the table. [color=yellow]"Sorry to interrupt Doc, but Cestus really needs your help."[/color] The rikari carefully placed Cestus on a chair. [color=yellow]"Sir, we were attacked, but Cestus took them out and caught a bullet in the process. I am pretty certain they came after us because of whatever you did, no offense sir. Now you'll need to excuse me for a moment, I promised my new friend here a drink."[/color] She nodded towards the still crying android, [color=yellow]"Cyl"[/color] and turned away to go to the bar.

[color=yellow]"One beer, whatever this fine reptilian gentleman wants and the drink you would give a man you owe your life to. Oh and make that one a double."[/color] The bartender stared at her for a moment before he turned to the rikari to take his order. "The usual?", he asked. He got a short nod as an answer, after which he went away to get the drinks. Finally Janet felt somewhat relieved, Cestus was in good hands and about to get the best drink on this damned station. He had saved her life without even really knowing her, which spoke volumes abut his character, but Janet was not really sure how to feel about it. She had managed to report to her captain, without riddling her sentences with curses, although she would have felt better otherwise. [color=yellow]"Thank you."[/color] she said to the rikari. [color=yellow]"It was nice of you to help us out, evidently not everyone would have done the same, or anyone else for that matter."[/Color] The snake-like creature just smiled at her, in a predatory kind of way. The bartender returned with the drinks. One beer, one double bronze-honey colored liquor and a tall glass filled with green liquid and some junky bits. Luckily he gave the green one to the rikari. [color=yellow]"Thanks, the guy with the jacket will pay for them."[/color] She almost felt bad, as she pointed at her captain, but he had made her a promise and the other two had earned it. [color=yellow]"It was a real joy to meet you. I suppose we won't see each other any time soon again. Enjoy your drink and thanks again."[/color] She gave the rikari her hand, which he shook after looking at it for a second, still smiling.

She returned to the table just in time to catch the first mates last statements. She placed Cestus' drink in front of him, gave Glargh, who looked a bit shaken, a greeting nod and sat down, sipping on her beer. When no one seemed to eager to speak up first, Janet decided to pick first: [color=yellow]"Either way we'll probably get shot at and I'd rather not get into trouble with the authorities too, so I guess I'd choose the bounty. Although I could go either way, if the rest would rather avoid fire for a while."[/color] She looked at Cestus and Andreas: [color=yellow]"Speaking of which, how is he doing, Doc?"[/color]
