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.

[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????

[pampa]

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

[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?

[pampa]

I hope so.

[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]

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.

[dumbstruck]

Wait, you're just running through all code combinations?
I mean, it works too, but it sounds a lot less dramatic...

[pampa]

Not going for drama, kid. Next time I see you, we'll have a garden so get out your spade.

[dumbstruck]

Ok, I know that was meant to just be a saying, but just to make it clear I grew up in a big city and don't know anything about plants.
So I think I'll just stay back and not accidentally kill anything.
But you guys have my support still!

[pampa]

The botanist will teach you unless you're too busy making quality content for the network.

[dumbstruck]

What the hell, dude?
I asked a question is all. What's wrong with that?

[pampa]

And I answered it. Anything else?

[dumbstruck]

No, I'm good...

[pampa]

Great. See you tomorrow, kid.
