So, space. The Final Frontier. Astonishing.

Also unexpected. I take it none of us signed up for this though so I won't bitch. Much.

Anyway, I have a series of questions not ranked by importance:

1. Where are the aliens? The gross tentacley ones from tv.
2. Are WE the aliens here? Gasp. The turn around.
3. Capri Sun? Tang? Tab? Any of these available?

This isn't a Soylent Green kinda place right? Lie to me if you have to. Thx.

is that star wars?

1. on tv
2. what an oliver twist
3. water is better for you

would you prefer insects? we have that too

[quickfingers]

close, pretty sure I picked it up from a trek rerun.

& don't joke about insects. Moderately better than people but you know, still really gross?

[lefthandfree]

oh. that tv one, right? [As opposed to Star Wars being just the movies. He doesn’t know enough about either to realize that Star Trek is a combination of both.]

and lucky for you then that i was just pulling your leg. not that i think they’re gross. except maybe roaches.

definitely roaches.

but the upside of space is that most bugs need dirt and trees to live.

which we do have too (not a joke this time), but you’d be missing out if you never step foot in the greenery.

[quickfingers]

Roaches are beyond gross. Yet we gotta give them points for being able to survive like, anything.

What's so great about the greenery? Sell it to me.

[lefthandfree]

but we really don’t. that just makes them worse, not better. tracks shit everywhere and never dies? c’mon. stuff of nightmares right there, pal.


and get this. fresh air. in space.

think about it.

...or just wait about a week and tell me the recycled air they pump through the rest of this place is half as good as naturally derived oxygen.

[quickfingers]

Okay you're selling it but like, what else is there. Anything edible.

Can't believe I just got excited at the notion but: fruits? vegetables?

[lefthandfree]

hell yeah there is. something of baby stages still in terms of proper sustainability, but that’s what i’ve been working on since i got here.

lots of alien plants too, and not freaky or whatever. okay some freaky. but also a lot of stuff you’ve probably never smelled or tasted before. you should stop by sometime, and i’ll show you around. i’m here in the greenhouse most of the time anyway.

[quickfingers]

I'm gonna have to check it out now.

Man, not to out myself and my pothead teen years but like - part of me hopes space pot is a thing. Is space pot a thing?

sorry for super late /o\ life and stuff

[lefthandfree]

please definitely do. it’s boring around here sometimes, and the company would be greatly appreciated.

and hey, what you did or do in your free time is not for me to judge as long as you’re not hurting people somehow. i can’t say i’ve gone out of my way to look for anything like that, but given how plants tend to be just as a basis and the volume of specimens we have on board, i can more or less guarantee to you that space pot is a thing. though you might not be intaking it the same way. in case you were attached to the actual act of lighting up.
