"Swanky" is the word used most often to describe The Blue Deployer. Located on Level 29 in Zone 6 of Axiom Nexus, the establishment is the pride and joy of Cryotek, one of the minority of TransTech entrepreneurs operating in the offworlder sector, and certainly one of the few established so far below Zone 1. The Blue Deployer provides a number of services, from simple imbibement to games of chance that rely on advanced quantum theory. And Commander Cheetor of the Security Administration is a regular visitor of the establishment, so rest comfortably at The Blue Deployer knowing you're well-protected...and monitored.

Notes
- The Blue Deployer is a reference to The Blue Parrot, Sidney Greenstreet's club from the film Casablanca; Beast Era Cryotek owned a Deployer named Chro, who is a blue bird. While its competing club, Widow's Cafe Cybertronian, is a reference to Humphrey Bogart's Rick's Cafe Americain, from the same film.
- This is not the first time that a Cryotek has been based on Greenstreet: his Universe counterpart, as seen in "Theft of the Golden Disk", was styled after Greenstreet's character from The Maltese Falcon. Greenstreet's character antagonizes Bogart's character in both films.
