Drakken enters the bar with a pacing quickstep, contrasting with his seemingly tired attire and his small wrinkles growing under his eyes. He goes to the bar and sits on a stool, waving to the bartender.
"""Hiya, Sir. Bring me an ale and a burger. Ketchup only, please."""
The bartender executes himself, taking note of the stranger's command. Drakken takes the time to look behind himself, observing the crowd in case someone might be interesting enough for a meaningful conversation. His mouth grins to himself as he doesn't see anyone who knows him. He nods and turns to face the bartender who has just brought him his ale and burger.
As Drakken takes a quick bite in his burger, the bartender smiles,"""Haven't had a bite in a long while, eh?"""
Drakken smiles,"""Un uneventful ride. The only thing interesting is helping the Liberty Navy hold at bay a denying smuggler."""
As the bartender arches an eyebrow in curiosity at the word "denying". Drakken takes a long guzzle of ale directly from the bottle and goes on...
"""Yeah, that trader had a huge load of cardamine. Thousands of crates in his cargo. Even I with my scanner could see them all. A LN fighter was already present when I arrived. As I was notifying the LN pilot that I was present to assist him in case of need, I could actually hear the trader argue with the LN that it was for his personal consumption."""
Drakken begins to laugh, mostly to himself, and he continues.
"""He even said he had a medical paper from his dock allowing him to carry this cargo. Finally as a LN capital ship arrived on the scene and gave him 30 seconds to comply he finally dropped his cargo and went away, screeching in his comm that it was unfair and blablabla..."""
The bartender remains emotionless as he cleans a glass with a towel,"""So, you are a Liberty citizen carrying off his duty, or even a LN fighter pilot perhaps?"""
Drakken finishes his bottle of ale and croaks,"""Nah, I was just a bored pilot looking for some new action. It just happened it was serving Liberty laws and assiting Liberty authorities there. I found that trader ludicrous and I was having a laugh. I can just imagine the report this pilot's gonna do to his commanding officier. And the only action I get these days is from lost Rogues and Xenos coming over for a tea in the middle of Liberty Trade Lines. Useless to say, they usually don't stay long."""
He takes another bite of his burger and mutters, his mouth half-full,"""Another bottle, please. I am thirsty."""
