( they’re standing in front of what looks to be a garden, even though it’s empty at present. miller is standing there in his porkpie hat and for once he looks… happy? he claps prax on the shoulder with a small smile and gestures back through like they should show everyone around. )

I told you we’d find it, didn’t I, botanist?

( prax is smiling, too, eyes not focused on the camera but on the rows of hydroponic installations. )

You did. ( that’s soft. a little more firmly, addressing not just miller even though he still isn’t looking at the camera: ) This is enough space to ensure food supply and air filtration, if we’re creative. And if the seeds are still viable, there’s almost enough to fill the spaces in the mess hall tables and the corridors, too.

( and the chapel, don’t sue him for forgetting that. )

Potatoes, mushrooms. ( and then, with obvious pleasure: ) Soy.

( miller raises his arms up to the ceiling in apparent victory, just as excited though he doesn’t know dick about gardening. )

Air is good, isn’t it? Air is nice. ( he addresses his smartwatch again after the brief distraction, ) That doesn’t mean you assholes can smoke, got it? Keep it classy, Inners. We’ll keep everyone breathing easy with these greens, but you all have to do your part and not fuck it up.

( prax nods. he wouldn’t have put it in those terms but yeah. ) We’ll need to test these seeds for viability. Plant them, if they are. Figure out the proper mineral solution needed for long-term stability.

( he glances at miller, then - finally - at the camera. he looks hopeful. ) This is good.

( miller nods at prax a final time and gets a last word in before cutting the feed: ) We all might not die. ( his optimism truly is something to be admired, isn’t it? )

[She just smiles more brightly because this is literally the sweetest thing??? He's actually smiling!!!!!] Well! Lucky for you guys she's terrifying so I have them all memorized because blah blah you have to feed your future husband and future in-laws someday. Let's skip the backstory.

[Kamala, that was the backstory...] The important thing is they have all the flavor? So much flavor. I'll have to see what edible herbs we've got but, trust me when I say she prepared me to make just anything amazing. Those potatoes alone are all I really need as long as we have some herbs to go along with them. Or even one to be honest. Nani handled the 'if you don't marry a rich doctor' side of the training whenever I went overseas to visit her.

Oh yeah I'll definitely ask him directly by then! I probably came on too strong this time. The guy seems super shy so-!!!

[She'll use her indoor voice next time.] But, yeah I'll even see about teaming up with Alex since he's always nice to hang out with. This will be so much fun! But, no worries. You get first dibs on everything, I promise.

Oh good point! And yeah we totally will! So this so probably my cue to let you do your thing. Talk to you later, Joe. Congrats on scoring another win for the team!
