Either way, the Lilim wasn’t interested in having a limb or two shot off. He cleared his throat, “Eh, you’re on the Paradise, a space station that orbits Earth. It’s a vacation spot... and a pretty expensive one at that.”

Styx ignored the first comment, but answered the second. "A space station as a vacation spot?" The thought was a crazy one, "What a barbaric waste of money." He lowered his guns, holstering them. He didn't let down his guard, though, he didn't need his weapons to hurt someone. "And an expensive one, you say? I hope that doesn't mean I'm going to be paying for my stay, here. I merely stumbling into a portal I didn't mean to enter. By expensive I'm assuming you're saying it took a lot of money to make. If that's the case... again, what a waste of money. And that must also be a man-made lake over there, am I correct? Shouldn't that be conserved for drinking water? It's a huge waste of money, very ambitious." He stopped his short rant a smirk falling across his lips quite rapidly. "Whoever made this place is a genius. He's basically mocking the very human race by using vast amounts of money to create a vacation spot for those same humans. No meaning to it, but he gains a profit. Smart."
Styx turned back to the barroom, looking around for something to eat. He moved over to the counter, sat himself on a stool and looked around. "Uh, isn't there a bar tender here?"
On cue, a machine whirred into the room on a small track lining the floor. "Welcome to the Paradise, patrons. I hope you're enjoying your stay. How may I serve?"
Styx's eyes widened at the sight of the android, machete already in hand. "Grah!" He threw his blade, it snapping off the machine's head. His adrenalin was rushing, but steadily calming now that he'd deactivated the infernal robot. He looked around at the others in the room, realizing he'd caused quite a stir. He ignored them, but instead grabbed a can of Moxie from his belt.
