"Chessboard, do you have it?"
"Holochess pad."
"That should do it"
After a while bartender brought to the table turned off pad of size of a notebook.
Daumann pressed the button and entered main menu, he chose two players option, waited a while before the device loaded all the program and placed on the table, between himself and Sunny. Holographic pieces appeared over the board, brightening gloomed table.
"We should choose who plays white" - Udo said to Sunny.
*Sunny shrugs with a smirk as the chess board goes to life and nods at the barman to get both of them a drink on his own tab.*
"Hmmm... take white, I'm fine with the black chess pieces. They seem to catch my eye..."
*Still a bit interested in how it works he glides his hand over the pieces and sees he can pass is hand through the black ones but the white ones respond to touch. He thinks that's how the board makes sure its who's turn to play.*
"Right so its your turn then," he says snapping out of it.
Thorsten comes around, searching for a drink after the hectic work around the system.
"Grab me a drink .. whh .. the most costliest one ?" he asks to the bartender.
Ohh... wait a second, Change it to the drink which tastes.. (..) .... really refreshing ?? Energetic you might say" he takes a cash around the table. "Here's the tip, have it" as he winks towards him.
After some time, The Bartender gets him a drink.
"Hey, you see anyone familiar around... ehh.. might be someone with a...hmmm... rank or a badge ... (??) ... " He enquires.
- Alright, let's play a little.
Meyer looked at the board and moved his pawn from E-2 to E-4.
Shining distant sun was covered for a while by passing by space train, Daumann pilot smiled, maybe to Sunny, maybe to his meal, and waited for president's move.
Old Wurth enters the bar. He's wearing his best suit, like he didn't buy it 30 years ago. He immediately attracted bar attendant.
Attendant: "A table for you and your wife as usual, Herr Wurth?"
Wurth: "Nein, nein! *whispering* I'd like a table... at some discrete place, bitte."
While walking towards the table in the corner, Wurth started to look around in fear, like patrolling alone in Omega-54. That spooked poor attendant out, so he started to do the same. He escorted old man to his table, went the shortest possible way to the kitchen and took a hideout there. He never saw old Wurth that scared.
Wurth: "Mein Got... I hope no one will see me here... It rains over New Berlin like Odin himself finally decided to flood us all to death! I must reach Eva immediately and redirect her here. I hope she's late and not waiting me at Berliner Platz caffee already..."
*dialing Eva's Comm*
"Errrr.... Eva? Nein, it's me. Nein, not him too. Reinhold here... Ja. Ja... hey, I'm not ZHAT old! Gut..."
"Listen, Eva... it's raining over Berlin, so I thought... if you can come here, at Ze Ring. I'm here already and it's nice and dry. Where? Well, it's nice table and it's covered with flowers. Ja, I hoped you'd like it. Easy to find. Ja. See you soon."
.....................
Wurth waved to the waiter and he immediately arrived, ready to take an order.
Wurth: "Well, I'd like to order ze bunch of flowers for a start. Something nice and expensive, to make zhis table looks like ze Gaian garden!" *smiling*
As Eva recived his comm she was at the door of her appartment she shakes her head in dissapointment and calls a cab to the space port where she will take a shuttle to the Ring. When she lands the local Daumann employes welcome her.
Guten tag Frau Bodewig can I be of any survice
Guten Tag main herr I am here to visit ze bar would be so kind to deliver zhese files to ze Schwarzer I vill be very greatfull
Jawogl Main frau. And the employee took some documents from her brifcase,as she enters the bar she saw herr Wurth table and saw the entire table was in flowers and it was so overcrowded it looked like a Gaian Garden as she aproched she scrached the back of her head but she has no ich there and tought to her self
Vhat iz zhis guy doing are ve going gardening *sigh*
As she Aproached the Table she greeted herr Wurth. He noticed she was wearing her uniform but her hair was white and very beautifull but she had an eye patch.
Guten Tag herr Wurth pleasure to see you *she smiles and reached for a hand shake* Nice to see zhat zhe waiters are showing respect for zhe best employers of ze company by setuping ze table like zhis.
Wurth jumped from his chair fast like a boy and gave Eva warm handshake. A bit shavery, but warm. He tried to scan her mini skirt, but her eye was monitoring carefully if he's gonna do it. He started to stare at the bar entrance instead.
Wurth: "Oh mein Got, is zhat Pikachu just coming in!?"
Eva turned her head for a second and realised it was a trick - but too late. Her eye started to produce deadly lightings that would make all-mighty Odin looks like just a kid playing with old cranky flashlight.
Wurth: "You look especially lovely today, meine Eva" *staring at her legs* "I see Fraulein Richter picked pretty cute uniforms for our young employees, hee hee."
"But, take a seat my dear, bitte!" *grabs Eva's chair and helps her to seat - in old tradition way* "I hope you like this little flower decoration that I was free to arrange for your pleasure?"
Old Wurth takes a seat behind a palm tree, making himself not visible to the rest of the bar. Of course, there were no plants between him and his... hmmm... date?
Having already seated and noticed how he stared at her legs Eva leaned on the chair and Ordered a glass of water.
Bodewig: Danke for ze hospitality herr Wurth and for ze warm welcome with ze flowers. She leans forward a bit.
Bodwig: But ze next time you stare at any part of my body like a hungry predetor it vill cost you.
she smiles.
Bodewig: Its pleasure to share a lunch vith one of ze most experienced members of our esteemed company. I vould like to hear about some of your exploits vith ze Kusari republic if you dont mind.
She leans back on the chair as the waiter brings her water.
Eva's reactions really melted any ice between, if there was any. Her spirit caused big smile on Wurth's face. His interest for Eva's body parts got quickly replaced with his interest for her charming personality. He started to look in her eyes... - or an eye, to be more specific. Her left eye was covered with a patch, but that was not something that would stop this young woman.
Obviously glad how this goes on, Wurth welcomed Eva's joke with another joke
"Ja, ja meine dear Eva. However it costs - it's totally acceptable!"
"But... zhis change of your hair colour... and zhis patch... both are confusing me. Would it be too discrete if I ask what happened to you? Is it connected with your sudden interest about Kusari?"
