You need a fix. You need a fix in a bad way.
Sure, in hindsight, maybe taking up a Drillyjuice habit was a bad idea. The stuff is pretty darn powerful and addictive. But that shouldn't matter. You're literally rolling in Drillies. 150 of them. But they're all locked in safe-cages in the tunnels. You haven't had any in 3 days, and they're all locked away.
shiver.
You've been a pub-owner on the Asteroid Base for 2 years now. It's not bad, at least compared to the shipping cruisers you used to cook on. Of course, you haven't seen an Earth skyline in so long, it's no wonder you started on the Drillyjuice. A man's gotta get by somehow...
Oh, how you'd like to go down there to the tunnels, bring up a fresh Drilly, and juice it with the press you keep behind the bar. But you'd better let Hexan deal with the mines for now. After all, he's a miner. You'd better stay "topside" and keep the buyers company. Anyway, you're not exactly in good shape to be dealing with Pauly's glitches.
What's with Pauly, anyway? The hacker said the Override was top notch stuff...and now it's not working. Anything can break, but why now? How you'd like to get your hands on that damn hacker and his broken software, how you'd like to see how he'd turn out in the Drillypress...
Calm down. Calm. Just stay calm, and it'll all work out. The deal will go fine, and you'll make a bunch of money, and maybe they'll be nice and spare you a single Drilly. A single Drilly can last a well-disciplined user nearly a week; long enough to get a few more from the next ship to drop by.
All you need is a fix. And all you have to do is wait for another couple hours...
