Persuading Schrauber to give you a lift doesn't prove very difficult, but, as he points out, if he gives you a lift that will only lead to a swift conclusion of this deal if someone accompanies him to the Magpie. If he just drops you off near the cantina he'll be forced to wait at the spaceport till someone comes along to open the cargo hold for him. He says he'd be happy to sign the paperwork as a company representative, something for which he claims he is authorized, and if you'd just come along to the spaceport, dropping you off at the cantina on his way back might be the fastest way to get the deal done and save you from walking.<br/><br/><em>(OOC: Just let me know how you want to handle this, but one way or the other you will eventually find yourself at the cantina, so I am just jumping forward to that point, instead of dwelling on the logistics any longer.)</em><br/><br/>When you eventually reach the Hoop Barn Cantina you find yourself still relatively close to the spaceport, in a part of town where commercial buildings seem to be concentrated. There are a number of warehouses and larger retail operations, many of them selling farm implements, seeds and feed, fertilizer, and so on. There's not much traffic on the streets and quite a few business (about one in four) appear to be permanently closed, with "for rent" or "for sale" notices posted.<br/><br/>The Hoop Barn is a converted warehouse, its once-whitewashed walls having gathered dust and dirt. The entrance is a regular-sized door set in a larger gate that once served to admit cargo vehicles into the building when it still was a warehouse, but the larger door has now been welded shut. Next to the entrance a silver plaque with a black crown and red star logo proclaims "Crown Star loyalty cards welcome", but the plaque has, at some point, been vandalized with a generous helping of color and has been cleaned only enough to make it just about readable again.<div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">The Crown Star logo</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/6/61/CrownStarLogo.jpg)</div></div><br/>Inside, the main room of the bar opens after a short corridor. The cantina takes up only one half of the former warehouse, giving it a long narrow shape that stretches from the main entrance and the washrooms there to a bar at the far end. A row of booths line the wall on the right, while along the left wall a raised platform is set up with tables and chairs both on it and beneath it. Earthen tones and wood (or at least wood-like plastic) dominate the color scheme of the well-lit room. There are only a few patrons, a small group of humans at a table on the platform, a pair of Ithorians quietly sipping their drinks in one of the booths, and a lone human male on a table under the platform, close to the bar. Behind the bar a droid is sorting some glasses and bottles that don't look like they really need any sorting or re-arranging. The droid is a humanoid model with a bronze hull and a long stalk of a head carrying two large round sensor units on each side, giving the head a vaguely cross-shaped appearance.
