( 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? )

[ Alex looks honestly relieved and almost overjoyed by the news, if he's honest, and he flips on the camera. ]

God damn, boys, good work. Where are ya? I'll come and help.

I suppose that answers some of the question from before about our ability to survive at a length of time here. The less we rely on the replicators, the better.

Were there any seeds for potential herbs?

[Kamala is actually appearing on camera for this one. This deserves clapping and clearly seeing stars in her eyes if you are an anime character.] YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING! I'M SUPER PROUD OF BOTH OF YOU!!! I swear if we actually get to cook someday, I'll make you one of my Ammi's recipes with what we have. This is so awesome!!!!! Huge win for the team!!!!

...Huh, nice.

[And now he knows what both of you weirdos look like, nice. Or maybe that's what he was referring to in the first place (he wasn't).]

How do you test seed viability and find mineral solutions? Can you even tell which seeds are which? Use little words, my skills are not in keeping living things living.

[ Amos almost just writes out a text as soon as he sees the video. It's strange, to see Prax and Miller side by side when one died just before the other joined them, but it fits, somehow. They're both desperate men, who will stop at nothing to get what they want or need, and Amos respects that. The two of them teaming up and discovering this doesn't surprise him, even if he does look mildly impressed when he turns to video to reply. ]

You need me to help, I'm here, Doc. How did you get this to open?

how did you get the door open?

[He's not exactly been around long enough to fully appreciate the gravity of the discovery, but the practical uses of such a garden are not lost on Ashford.]

Brings back memories of Ceres

[Or rather raids into the parts of Ceres where the wealthy Inners have their residences for the purpose of 'reappropriating' bottles of water]

How do you test for the viability of these seeds?

[Needless to say he's no botanist]

I personally like not dying. It's not really fun when it happens.

[Long story.]

Did you guys speak with Haru too? She's been growing some things as well on her own. I've been trying to learn from her and I bet she'll be super happy to know all about this.

[Bobbie looks suitably impressed, and she's already daydreaming about all of the things they can make with the potatoes alone.]

Good job, boys. Guess I know where to find Prax if he disappears in the future, huh?

Holy shit! You guys actually did it!

[ He wasn't kidding about being only a few codes away! ]

[ frank sounds relieved, though his voice is a little hoarse. prax might understand why. ]

Looks like you're gonna need a lot more gardeners. [ aka give him orders plant guy ]

That's a lot of seeds. [ an apt observation! ] How'd you get in there?

[Karen looks absolutely thrilled with this news. Thrilled and proud.]

I can't believe it. You actually did it.

[She's more or less talking to Miller since she knows him better, but Prax is obviously included in that too.]

This is a huge win for everyone, guys. Do you have any idea how long it will take to test the seeds?

[And then since this is Karen she can't help but add on:]

I want to help however I can.

If you require assistance analyzing the seeds, I'd be happy to try to help. If they're similar to organisms on Earth, I believe I should be able to. If they're alien there is a... 17% possibility that I will be able to discern their optimal growing conditions.

[His features soften a little and in a complete non sequitur.] Some should be planted in the chapel... there's space for them. Containers. [It would look... nice.]

That's amazing, well done, fellas.

[ Finally something to be really happy about. Observe her giant grin as proof of how great this is. ]

If you need any help, I've sure got the time to spare. I used to help a bit in a greenhouse, not enough to do it on my own, but I can follow instructions well enough.
