Hey so...................

Does anyone know what we do if something happens to our food supply?
Not like if it gets really gross or drugged or whatever!
But like.........

What do we do if it stops working and we don't have backup food?

Just wondering.......

[ is this shit for real ] We die.

[dumbstruck]

No, but maybe we could not do that?
Like maybe we figure out some way to not die?
Only someone who isn't me figures it out, because I don't actually have ideas.

[pampa]

Noted.

[dumbstruck]

Someone here is probably smart enough to think of some kind of backup plan, or has some weird super science thing that could save us all.
Maybe.
I hope.

[pampa]

Have you been paying any attention... to anything since you got here?

[dumbstruck]

Yeah, but I don't really understand what's going on.
I mean, I don't think most people really do, but...

[pampa]

[ goddamnit OK here goes ]

There's been a whole team of guys working on the replicators, but if that falls through there's a botanist on board. Me and him have been tryin' to break into the plant room. I dunno what we'll find in there, since we don't know how long ago they were abandoned, but if any of it's in good enough shape to clone we should have air and food for a while.

On the positive side, the androids and myself won't die.

On the negative side, well.
That much is obvious.

I believe people are working on matters with botany but beyond that, I don't know if there is enough for so many people. Alternative solutions would be wise.

[dumbstruck]

See! That's the super science thing I meant!
The cloning maybe alive plants thing!
So why did you say we would die when you had a different plan????

[dumbstruck]

That's a pretty big negative though!

And yeah, that's what I was thinking!
I mean, not thinking of solutions, because I don't have any good ideas, but just that the more plans we have the better probably.
If other people had ideas.

[pampa]

Because we will die if it doesn't work. Or if the station finds another way to fuck us over.

[reposing]

The only other idea I have is going to the planet below to see if it has any form of life that the lot of you can survive off of.

However, it would be difficult to get there as circumstances are right now.

[dumbstruck]

Ok, that's not all that comforting.
But IF there are plants in there that aren't dead, or are cloneable or whatever, then it'll work, right?

[dumbstruck]

Yeah....
We'd probably need a ship that actually worked and wouldn't blow up on us for that.

[pampa]

I hope so.

[reposing]

An astute observation.

[dumbstruck]

And if they're all dead could we maybe still clone things?

[pampa]

For that, you'd have to ask the plant guy. I just find things.

[dumbstruck]

Thanks!
But also, we definitely don't have one of those, right?
Because I just found out about the other plant room people are trying to break into like five minutes ago, so idk what else I missed.

[dumbstruck]

But he'd tell everyone if things could or couldn't be done with the plants, right?
When you find them.

[pampa]

Yeah, he would. He will, cause we're gonna get in soon. I can feel it.

[dumbstruck]

Is the lock almost broken, or hacked, or whatever it is people have been doing?

[pampa]

Yeah. Only a few codes left to try.

[reposing]

We have a person who has the ability to fly toward the planet, but it would be dangerous for her to go alone.

But no, as far as I know, we have no method right now.

If we find more plants, we might be able to generate food that way. If they're the right kind of plants. There's a lot that can be done with soy, for example.

If not, we should hope nothing happens to the food supply we already have.
