Jill drank slowly from her ale. It was one of the only somewhat decent drinks in her opinion. Some drinks in the bar were just nasty and others so strong it would wake the dead. Her eyes went over the others sitting at the bar, some of them looked like they didn't even taste what they were drinking anymore. Taking another gulp she contemplated on her next move. If she could acquire the working hydro-flux capacitor than maybe she could trade it for a decent power cell. The only problem was the guy that had one according to the bartender wasn't someone she felt comfortable going alone too. Sure she could fight and she could shoot her lasergun but still, sometimes it was better to avoid problems and a woman alone often could find herself in trouble no matter how strong or smart she was.

Her gaze went over the drinkers, maybe she should hire one of these guys to help her. Not that she had much to give but it could be enough for the ones coming in here and drinking their sorrows away. Her eyes rested on a guy in a corner booth, Jill was sure she had seen him before. Always drinking but keeping to himself and not starting problems. She couldn't help wondering if one day she would sit there doing the same, not a lot seemed to be able to get off this forsaken pile of junk and some seemed to have given up. That was a depressing thought.
Recruiting from a bunch of drunks wasn't ideal and definitely not her first choice but she didn't trust a lot of her contacts anyway, too often had they tried to rip her off. At least her boss was somewhat decent but he didn't pay a lot, she didn't get more than a roof over her head, one meal after working hours and some pocket money from him. 

Jill got up and walked through the bar. She stopped at some tables and asked if any was interested in going with her to collect a part but most dismissed her or suggested other ways to spend the day. Jill hesitated when she came closer to the booth with the man that looked like an absolute mess and her idea of hiring someone from here became a worse and worse idea. Nevertheless, she was there now and she might as well ask. She could only regret it later. 
"Care to help me out?" she asked him, already bracing herself for possible suggestive remarks or blunt rejections.
