You also catch the coordinates of his favourite casino.*

## List of drink lines

* *The Rockman slides you a shot of some suspicious looking alien goop. It's surprisingly tasty. Two drunken pirates get into a brawl behind you and are escorted out.*
* *The bartender polishes a glass and hands you another shot. This time it's a relatively normal looking glass of liquid, but it makes your insides burn like fire. You cough and spit it out. You catch some Rebels behind you laughing.*
* *You're handed a glass of a putrid smelling substance, which you're told is freshly bottled Slug slime. When the bartender isn't looking you poor it down the sink.*
* *The Rock gives you a glass of clear liquid. It doesn't taste like anything. The chattering in the background quiets down for a second when a drunken Slug falls off the stage, then goes back to its usual volume.*
* *The drink tastes an awful lot like urine, and your suspicions are confirmed when the Rockman informs you it's Human waste, considered a delicacy in some areas.*
* *While you down the latest shot, you watch a Mantis juggle flaming skulls. The crowd breaks into applause until the Mantis catches on fire and runs screaming out of the inn.*
* *As you drink the green substance in your bottle you observe the crowd further. It's an interesting bunch. You can see enemies staring at each other across the room, and glancing away when their gaze meets.*
* *You choke down the horrid substance given to you by the bartender, a strange chunky white substance. The Rockman tells you it's expired milk from a space whale.*

## Sky-Drift Casino

Ship: none

*The casino in question is no pirate cesspit or ramshackle gambling city. In the distance drifts a giant yacht, with hundreds of ships swarming towards it. It floats above the surface of a humid jungle planet, and in the center is a giant structure hosting what is likely the population of an entire city.*

1. Search for the casino.
	* *It's not hard to find the casinos, with a blaring neon sign drawing in people like bugs to a beacon. Inside are rows and rows of slot machines, poker tables, and a few bars.*
		1. Look for Tuco.
		2. Gamble first, then go looking.
			+ *You aren't going to waste the opportunity while you have it. You feed some scrap into the nearest slot machine, which miraculously seems to accept it as viable currency, and wait.*
				- You lose 20
					* **4x** *Three golden 7s flash on the screen, followed by loud fanfare and confetti. The machine exclaims in a loud voice, "CONGRATULATIONS! You lost!"*
						1. Look for Tuco.
					* *A low buzz emits from the machine and a drawer opens up, spitting out more scrap. It's rather anticlimactic, but you aren't complaining.*
						+ You gain 60
							1. Look for Tuco.
		3. This isn't what we expected. Leave.
			+ *Whatever you had hoped to do here is pointless now.*
				1. Do something aboard the ship
				2. Do nothing.

## Look for Tuco

*Before you can even begin searching, a shout echoes throughout the casino. People turn to stare as a Rockman in pirate paint with a filthy moss beard and eyepatch with an elegant tuxedo is dragged out by two burly Rockmen bouncers. On his way out, the pirate exclaims "You can't do this to me! Do you know who I am? I am the dread pirate Tuco, the most feared man in the entire galaxy!" The Rockmen ignore him and continue to carry him outside.*

1. Follow.
	* *You aren't sure what you plan to do, but the situation has you curious. You follow them outside to see Tuco heading back to a large cruiser with yellow pirate paint. Not long after, the ship powers up, its weapons come online, and he's firing at the casino! A few enforcer ships fly out to meet him, but it's uncertain who will win the fight.*
		1. Aid Tuco.
			+ *You power up your weapons and attack one of the enforcers head on. It looks suspiciously like a Rebel transport that was painted over again, but that doesn't matter.*
				- Fight a Casino Enforcer.
					* (**After defeating the enemy ship by any means**) *Tuco Wins*
		2. Aid the Casino Enforcers.
			+ *You're sure the casino will have a reward for you if you save them from Tuco's attack.*
				- Fight Tuco's Cruiser.
					* (**After defeating the enemy ship by any means**) *The House Wins*
		3. Let's just go already!
			+ *Whatever you had hoped to do here is pointless now. You leave before the fight can catch up to you.*
				1. Do something aboard the ship
				2. Do nothing.
2. Oh well, let's leave.
	* *Whatever you had hoped to do here is pointless now.*
		1. Do something aboard the ship
		2. Do nothing.

## Tuco Wins

*The casino enforcer plummets towards the ground. The rest of the ships, seeing Tuco is now no longer the only threat, retreat. The yacht owners offer a handsome sum of money, and free drinks, to both you and Tuco if you promise not to cause further damage.*

* You receive a **high** standard reward and **unlock The Good (Tuco's Cruiser A)**
	+ *Tuco chuckles as he brings the scrap back to his ship. Good fightin' there kid. Couldn't have done it better myself. SO, I'll tell you what. This hunk o' junk that I'm disgraced to call my personal cruiser has seen much better days. So how 'bout I hitch a ride on that pretty ship o' yours, and you do whatever you'd like with mine.*
		- Tuco joins your crew.

## The House Wins

*The remains of Tuco's cruiser crashes into the ground, shattering into debris that probably kills a few people. Regardless, it's scrap for you to take.*

* You receive a **high** standard reward and **unlock The Bad (Tuco's Cruiser B)**
	+ *Despite all the damage caused in the fight, the yacht owners are extremely grateful for your help. "That idiot has been a regular for years, and he's always causing issues. It's about time he got what was coming to him. Pffft, dread pirate my ass. As generous payment, please accept this scrap and a few of our slot machines!" You aren't sure what you think about the unusual reward, but you aren't going to turn it down.*
		- You receive a **medium** scrap-only reward and the Gambling Machine augment.

## Trivia

* ID: QUEST\_TUCO\_START
* Tuco is a reference to a character of the same name that appears in Vanilla FTL, but only as a minor character in a generic Pirate Fight intro text. Most importantly however, Dread Pirate Tuco may be a reference to:
	+ Breaking Bad's Tuco Salamanca.
	+ The movie and novel The Princess Bride: Instead of Tuco, it is The Dread Pirate Roberts.
		- Tuco's A layout was named "Princess Bride" as a result.
	+ Tuco, the dirty gunslinger from The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly.
		- Tuco's B and C layouts were named: "The Good" and "The Bad and the Ugly" respectively.
