Subject: To the bar!

Inside Tankup�s two men sit down to a booth near the front of the room. It�s evident that they are old friends.

�I hear Captain Kelly is worried about rumors going around about a hostile invasion aimed at this colony. They say their going to try to use T�orros to get at Rugby.�

�Eh? Who�s �they��

�Folks around the station a�course!�

��They� are always talking nonsense, you know that Bob. Monkey planet this, Fairy Forest that, why if they had half the chance they�d try to get you to believe that we aren�t in the SPUniverse anymore! BAH!�

�My, aren�t we the cynical fellow�

�Oh shuddup Bob. You know you�re just a regular old gossip queen�

�You�re lucky you�re bigger than me, Jim, otherwise I�d knock you for that one.�

�That�s life old buddy. So how are the wife and kid?�

�Good, the boy had a little incident the other day, but he was okay.�

�What happened?�

�He tried to run out into the vehicle corridor, and you know how busy it�s getting around here. Anyway, the wife grabbed him right before he stepped into oncoming traffic.�

�Well, I�m glad to hear he�s okay.�

�Thanks. How�s the bachelor's life treatin� you?�

�Just fine, thank you. A security team grunt wouldn�t make a good husband�it�d keep up any woman worrying about what might happen. When I become an officer�maybe then I�ll think about starting a family.�

�Whatever you say bud.�
