Perhaps a FIZZY DRINK will help clean out the AFTERTASTE from that mystery goo we licked at req.

Well, I’m guessing your favourite color is GREEN for no known reason.
More importantly, though, if we chat up the INTELLIGENT OFFICER we might be able to lift one of his SPRAY BOTTLES OF BURNY STUFF while he is distracted by our incredible CHARM And WIT, which would certainly come in handy later!
Robert 'DangerZone' Hale and the incognito legion
FA-XXX-L5 (The D-Day Drone that never wants to be a Hivelord yet always winds up as one)
We should grab a fizzy drink and sit down to talk with those two weirdos at the table. Also, my guess is orange simply because it's the only color in the picture.
GREEN is my favorite color!
Whats this? Discarded (or forgotten) lies a NANO THE GATHERING card. The popular collectible card game still thrives (somehow) in the future. Self-powered and hardened against EMP, they can be played anywhere. You have received:
LIZARDMAN MERCINARY
A mid-powered ally in your army whose special appears to be low cost, hardiness, and powerful against insects. This card appears to be UNCOMMON.
You do not know how to play, yet...
The SODA MACHINE has seen better days. Because many of the drinks have not been refilled, some UNGA has scratched out a lot of the buttons as an act of passive-aggressiveness. You are only able to dispense GRAPE FIZZ.
CROW is reading an old copy of Peterson's BIRDS OF NORTH AMERICA. Back when there used to be a North America.
SPLAPS was NOT a smart gun operator last you checked. She must have gotten a promotion due to a early fatality, most likely a PREP ROOM BRAWL.
You hear the sound of REQUISITIONS calling out orders to pick up soon. You will only be able to chat with one of these characters. Who do you choose and what topics will you bring up as you open your default can of beverage?
LIST YOUR CHOICE AND PROVIDE AT LEAST ONE TALKING POINT:

Default beverage? This is unthinkable!
We are certain that there is more than mere grape soda in there!
We will just have to find a way to cause the machine to give up its hidden bounty of orange flavored carbonated sugar water. I believe several applications of the trusty combat boot are in order.
Let us stun Crow with our knowledge of North American birds! We shall talk to him all about the Great Potoo (a bird primarily found in South America, and quite horrifying in its own right).
Take the GRAPE FIZZ for future trading, talk to SPLAPS about her promotion.

I agree! PERCUSSIVE MAINTENANCE seems like a good idea.We will just have to find a way to cause the machine to give up its hidden bounty of orange flavored carbonated sugar water. I believe several applications of the trusty combat boot are in order.

Ask Crow if he anticipates BIRDS on the planet below or actually if he has any idea in general what your unit will actually be DOING or SHOOTING
The voices in your head agree that a life of default grape soda is unforgivable. You decided to rectify the situation with PERCUSSIVE MAINTENANCE.
ENCOUNTER!

PFC Dick Schlobber
Colon Marine
3rd battalion of the 5th brigade
Fizz Automated Beverage Machine
BEV MAX - Model No. 3454

You used BOOT STOMP. IT WAS SUPER EFFECTIVE!
PTSD UNLOCKED [Scene "Medical Dispenser"]
You hear...wounded crying...
You...see...an empty medical dispenser...
It didn't have to be like this. It didn't have to be like this. It didn't have to be like this.
From the blasted, twisted wreckage of the beeping, dying machine, you are rewarded with two additional undamaged cans of...
Double Cola
A rich blend of uncanny artificial flavors. Useful for removing acid-corrosion build-up.
and
Spritz
A refreshing effervescent splash of lime with hints of radium. The bottle glows green.
SPLAPS REALLY LIKED THAT!
CHORKMAN REALLY LIKED THAT!
CROW WAS INDIFFERENT TO THE FOLLY THAT IS MANKIND'S DESTRUCTIVE NATURE!
Popping open a can of GRAPE FIZZ to quench your thirst and wash away the MYSTERY FLUIDS of the REQ LINE, you sit down to chat with ENS CROW...
A rather somber looking individual with eyes weary from countless unknown sorties. What skulduggery have they witnessed?
You observe some spark of spirit flicker in those piercing eyes at the mention of the Potoos. Turns out that Crow is a bit of a nut on the subject. He tells you that that the last of the known passerines exist on UFS-FERRA, a massive wildlife preservation planet. The planet is currently privately owned by AEON MUSK, the wealthy inventor of phased particle thrust engines turned philanthropist. He also helped designed the current model of SYNTHETICS in use by the COLON MARINES.
CROW LIKED THAT.
Loose lips sink ships. But crow turns to a page in his guide book and taps at a particularly beautiful picture of a Red-Tailed falcon. Up until the collapse of the first anthrocene era, this bird was still employed for the sport of game hunting. Curious, this persistent tendency of man to bend other organisms to his will...
And that he abruptly leaves.
You can hear the MPs on their way to respond to DESTRUCTION OF CORPORATE ASSETS. You'd better SCRAM to REQ!

Wow, we sure kicked the hell out of that soda machine.
Oh crap, it’s the PO-PO!
We can’t go back to prison! ... That’s where the medvendor incident happened...
Leave swiftly, and if we encounter the fuzz, we will point them in the direction of engineering and say “They’re madmen! If you hurry, you might catch them!”
Or shrug and say “What damage? This place is already falling apart.”
Either way, it’s time to GTFO.
