“Barbers and Bartenders”

A log, by Zertz

 

 Zertz walked into the ‘Olde Time Barber Shop’, and was immediately received by a male Bolian. The Bolian barber had Zertz sit down and after receiving instruction began his work. Making conversation, the barber asked if he had heard the rumors. “The rumors?”, inquired Zertz honestly. He soon learned what the barber mean, after elaboration on the Bolian’s part he soon learned that rumors and hearsay have been spreading about the senior staff meeting. “So, where did you hear this from?” questioned Zertz. The barbers response revealed that his co-worker’s brother has a friend who’s roommate used to work with a man under the Chief of Security, and that apparently the person in question overheard a transpiring conversation, hearing off overkill punishment, poor grammar, and all around wacky behavior. Zertz furrowed his brow, this is not what he had heard of Meve. “Must be an exaggeration, and this isn’t exactly second grade on ’pillowian’ school, we all have rules to follow and they must be enforced.” The Bolian agreed and finished up.

 

 Later that day, Zertz retired to the bar. “Some day huh, get you something?” probed the bartender.

“I’ll have some purple stuff,” a pointing Zertz replied.

“So, my sources tell me the Captain is in a funk”

“A funk you say, why is it every civilian knows about this within 25 light years?”

“You know what they say, Barbers and Bartenders, people talk to us.”

“Well, I quite frankly don’t believe the rumors.”

“Maybe they’re just that, but who knows, stranger things have happened”

“You could be right.”
