"Always listen to experts. They'll tell you what can't be done and why. Then do it."
- Robert Heinlein

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."
