Phong's Head Cantina [TM] - Starfury Sector (A Wretched Hive of Scum and Villainy)

The government and media are playing it down, but there is only one small colony of EEE in this area of the galaxy, and its population is composed of the survivors of the Space Monster infestation in their home territory. The warppoints to EEE space were closed off some time ago, and at great cost, but lately there have been some missing ships and an occasional sighting of baby spacemonsters in a nebulae near neutral space.

(Dun dun dunnn)

Ladies and Gentalmen, Suicide Junkie, the head of the Governmental Propaganda machine has entered the Bar.

The "offical" government position on the EEE is that there are no EEE. However, the "REAL" position is they do not want to start a panic as the EEE are coming in force. A huge armada of a billion ships and over a trillion shock troops - blob like things.

Nothing to see here folks, move along.

"Pick any celebrity, person or creature and i can have them cloned, combat trained and ready within a day! Added features like plasmatic fire breath or increased stamina will cost extra

I have a feeling we may have a deal"

That we do! One name - T'Pal.

When I get enough $$ to buy a new ship, and pay back Pax and all the others, I will order four more.

Woundwort's wrist computer suddenly starts beeping wildly. He punches a few buttons on it and stares at a small screen on its top. He whistles, punches a few more buttons, and holds the computer near his mouth.

"Ladies, gentlemen, and assorted other beings. It appears sports night has started a little early today..."

He punches a few more buttons, and the fog screen that had been displaying the Angry Mob[tm] demanding the Starfury demo disappears. In its place, a live broadcast of a three-way fight between Rollo, Dogscoff, and Growltigger.

The patrons of the Cantina immediately begin rooting for various parties in the fight, and placing side bets.

[Erax]

A large holoprojection takes shape high over the Bar/Grille area...

"Erax to Wounwort. Urgent news. The Starfury demo has been released. Repeat, the Starfury demo has been released. Over and ou---umphhhhh."

A large holo-projected cream pie hits Erax's holo-projected head as his image disappears...

Actually, I've been here for quite some time. My ship is still under repair, and I can't take off until at least two engines are running.

The EEE are not the problem, its the Space Monsters that are chasing the EEE that you need to worry about.
See the claw marks on that battlecruiser in the spacedock?

Besides, are you really more worried about a couple of EEE troopers, or the insidious infectious scourge of spacemonsters?
Beware! A Demon Egg could be waiting aboard your ship, undetected and ready to hatch.

The fight at the original Phong's Head winds down in an ankle-deep layer of merangue. The fog screen fades as the customers return to their original activities.

Woundwort smiles as he counts his winnings. As usual, Growltigger was declared the winner, and several side-bets on the Boss have paid off. He hands the pile of gold-pressed latinum to the maitre 'droid. "You know what to do with this."

"H. Uppmann double coronas?"

"Good lad."

Hmmm... lots of traffic out there now that the demo's out, but it's gotten quiet in here... Hey RD, think we should extend the traditional "Free Drinks" Grand Opening Offer (we'd put it on Rag's tab, of course... )?
