I do not own Doom or Mass Effect, Doom belongs to Id Software and Mass Effect belongs to Bioware
As Marlowe passed by the kitchen his stomach gave a loud growl, he didn't eat since he got on The DarkStar, he decided that the scientist could wait and headed into the kitchen. Inside was a turian bartender and 2 marines on the sitting by the counter.
"Hey Darak another round!" one of then said and the bartender gave them another beer.
"You guys need to be careful with the drinks, remember last time?" The bartender asked.
"Oh come on now, I just threw up a little" He replied.
"Yeah, all over the sentry bot." the marine next to him said.
"Oh fuck off it didn't affect the bot one bit."
"Yeah but I had to clean up after you."
"Come on guys let's not get into a fight like last time." The bartender interrupted.
"Yeah let's not, hey change the channel will ya." The marine on the left said as the bartender pushed the channel button on the T.V.
Marlowe grinned a little and went over to the candy machine and inserted 5 credits and pushed "C8" but the candy bar wouldn't budge, Marlowe than hit the machine to try and get it out.
"Is it stuck again?" The Turian Bartender called over to him.
"Yeah it won't budge!" Marlowe replied.
"It does that a lot, that's why I keep a supply of candy behind the counter, come here and I'll give you what you pressed" The Bartender said.
Marlowe then walked over to the counter and sat down.
"What button did you press?" He asked
"C8." Marlowe replied
Alright just let me check….Ah here it is." He said as he took out a HoloBar and handed to Marlowe
"Thanks." Marlowe said as he pocketed the bar
"No problem, so you new around here, haven't seen you before?" The bartender asked.
"Yeah." Marlowe replied.
"Well welcome to Mars City, the most exciting place on mars." The bartender said.
"Thanks, hey mind if I ask why a turian is working for a human corporation?" Marlowe asked
"Guess you must've been a transfer from earth, this is one of the UAC bases that has other alien races working on it." The bartender said
"What other alien races work here?" Marlowe asked
"Quarians and Salarians, but mostly you'll find quarians and working here, other than that, you'll find humans almost all the time, the quarians and salarians work in the underground of Mars City, the turians mostly work at sewage plant or in my case as a bartender." The bartender said
"I heard that a lot of people here want transfers of here" Marlowe asked
"You heard right." The marine on his left said "I want a transfer off this rock to, can't stand those damn whispers."
"Whispers?" Marlowe asked.
"Yeah, hear them every time I go down into the dungeon." He said
Marlowe shook this thought off and began to watch the T.V.
"The Union Aerospace Corporation denied allegation's today of several reposts showing a growing military presence on Mars. A spokes person stated that the activity is simply a tactical deployment to outline planetary sectors. Authorities continue to search for the activists responsible for the bombing on a BioMech Production facility, resulting in the destruction of several biomech units. In other news, the trial for Commander Victor Shepard has been set in March."
"I can't believe there charging Commander Shepard with such a thing" One of the marines said "He saved the citadel and killed Saren."
"I know right, politics these days." The marine next to him said.
Marlowe than just remembered about the scientist, "Dammit." He thought to himself "I got to go" Marlowe than said as he got up.
"Alright see ya around." The bartender said as Marlowe walked out of the kitchen.
