Fresh out of mustering out you arrive at the offices of Enerii Jonns, a factor for the local sector wide trading company Oberlindes Lines (insert organisation of your choice her). A friend of a friend within the service you have recently moved on from gave you the tip off, so you are hopeful that the rumours of Enerii being able to find work for the likes of your skill set and experiences will be the beginning of your route to achieving your life's ambitions.
As you enter the reception area you see that a few others are already waiting. A small drone hovers over to you and chirps to attract your attention,
"Welcome to your future" it says, "Enerii will see you shortly, help yourself to refreshments from the hospitality area".
You glance in the direction the robot indicates and can see a range of beverages and light snacks, some of the drinks are alcoholic, others mild stimulants. The food looks fresh.
