| Reggie the Bartending Machine | ||
| A mechanism able to mix drinks; a robot bartender. |
Like any good bartender, Reggie can even tell stories. And have special favorites among the patrons.
| "Protect her, Max," said Reggie.
"Her?" "The Cyborg de Milo," said Reggie. "She's half-robot. I feel a remarkable affinity toward her." "You got the hots for a lady cyborg?" asked Max. "Just do what I asked." |
