: : “I’m quite good with my crisps,” Sadie said cheerfully, smiling at the Waiter. “Although a cup of Jinnen might be nice. Just ask the replicator for recipe ‘Sadie 2’,” she explained, eyes bright. Jinnen was, in her opinion, the best thing to come from the Raka other than their brilliant engines.

: “..Right away ma’am!” he said then turned to Trax, “..Anything for you sir?” he inquired

Sadie looked to the man, curious what he would ask for.

“Well, what about some old-fashioned buttered popcorn and a hot dog with ketchup and relish.” Trax said with a polite smile. “And a large coke cola classic.” As he tried to listen to Sadie and the waiter.

The NE Smiled at the order, “..Right away sir!” He said dashing back to the kitchen for 17-Forward. A few minutes later, he returned with a large bowl on one tray with spray butter and sea salt in a shaker, while in the other tray were two jumbo beef hot dogs with a line of ketchup and relish. “..here you are then sir! Enjoy, and anything else then?” he asked, “..Before i retire back to the kitchen..”

“only thing is I don’t see is my Coke Cola Classic?” Trax said with a smile. “Make that two of them I might need a refill .” He said with a soft laugh.

”..Oh goodness me! I’m so sorry sir!” He said dashing off to return a moment later with the ordered two Cokes, “..here you are then!” He said.
