[edit] Backstory

Maebot is the Galaxy Galleria's self-described "fashion consultant to the cosmos". Modelled to be stylishly feminine, she delights in assisting would-be shoppers in finding the latest high galactic fashion for the discerning female-clothing-wearer. She apparently doesn't mind assisting the occasional male shopper who, *ahem*, wants to get in touch with his "feminine side". But underneath that flirtacious exterior lies a personality that can be tough-as-nails for anyone who tries to avoid parting with their buckazoids after making a selection.

[edit] Game Involvement

After travelling to the Space Quest 12 era and finding several potentially useful slots for his PocketPal terminal, Roger decided to head back to the Galaxy Galleria to see if he could buy an appropriate PocketPal connector. In order to do that, however, he'd need to find a rather hefty sum of buckazoids first. Fortunately, Zondra had been unlucky enough to drop her ATM card for Roger to "borrow", but he needed a disguise to fool the AutoBucks Teller Machine in order to use it.

He headed on over to Sacks, where the clerk was happy to suggest a suitable dress and wig for Roger to wear. After finding a way to earn sufficient funds to buy the dress, he paid the clerk for her fine selection and was on his way.

Of course, the Galaxy Galleria stores have strict laws against shoplifting. If Roger had decided to try to weasel out of paying for the dress, the clerk would have dropped her friendly demeanor and started ordering Roger to pay up. And if he tried to sneak out altogether, she would take back the dress and toss him out on his ear. But of course, Roger would never be sneaky enough to steal a dress in order to be sneaky enough to steal someone's bank account.
