You offer your only possession (apart from your trusty sidearm) to Rufus: a hammer! The furfig peers deep in your eyes after much scrutiny.
"Yes, I accept! Hooray, good trade good trade, yes? Come back later to trade more, yes?"
You let out a sigh of relief while the birdfolk behind you resume to squabbling, probably lamenting the fact that they never considered the merchant to be such a dimwit.
You return to Ooka. Turns out she has been saving up to buy a methazine crystal for her secret project. You present to her the key you just got.
"YA-HOO! AWESOME! THANK YOU!" Ooka cries in glee, alerting the nearby magnetrons.
"I gotta go and try these things out at home. Here, take this - it's the change from buying the crystal. I won't need it anymore. Go look around! I'll come back and pick you up later!"
With Ooka gone and a handful of credits in your pockets now, you decide to check out the only place worth checking: the Bar!
Calling it a bar is a little generous - it's merely a fenced off area with a few tables. Better than nothing though!
You approach the barkeep and ask for the local speciality - for a few credits, you receive a jug of "frothy water".
Spaceman, with booze in your hand it is time to mix and mingle with the crowd! Will you:
1. Chat with the bartender.
2. Check out gambling.
3. Ask if there's a spare seat at the Iceworlder's table.
4. Sit at the empty table and think things over whilst enjoying your drink.
