[The camera flicks on to some blurry glimpses of green and brown. There's dirt and earth, nearby plants, and Med'an's dirty white sleeve, before he manages to straighten it enough to reveal a young tree sitting in a cart in the ship's garden.]

...it's...for peaches. They said it should flower soon, if the garden is warm enough. I bought some other plants, too - [the camera jiggles slightly towards a few large pots nearby] - but this is the biggest thing.

I was going to ask Rosethorn or the head gardener for help, but I can't find either of them. [there's a motion that might be a small shrug.]

I can dig the hole for it, I might just need help....putting it in there.

[He blinks a couple of times at the percentage. And slightly odd phrasing. It all made sense, more or less, but...what an odd way to say it. But hey, he's not one to judge oddness, so.]

Y-yeah. I just need a little help. And, if you know where's the best place to plant a peach tree...? [YOU NEVER KNOW...]

[she is but a poor computer program that got lost and ended up in a fantasy setting. Don't think about it too much]

Aboard this vessel, I cannot say. Conventional wisdom indicates that the best place for fruit trees to grow lies in rich soil and adequate sunlight. As it seems that the two most knowledgeable in agriculture are no longer aboard this vessel with us, the best way to proceed is likely with careful observation.

[Fi doesn't sound uncertain, but she only understands the theory behind plants. She was a sword, after all, better suited to cutting plants than growing them]

[Well, at least she's trying to be helpful??]

Oh, yeah.....[Med'an does sound uncertain. The soil is probably good, but...]

I'm not sure how they...get the plants enough sunlight. I think there are electric lights that do it, somehow.

[Doubtfully; ] There must be someone on board who knows about fruit trees. Right?

[audio;]

There are other plants growing aboard this vessel. One can safely assume that the peach tree you've acquired may also be able to take root aboard, though whether it is capable of bearing fruit in such conditions remains undetermined.

With so many different people aboard, it would be strange if no one was at least passingly familiar with plants. If there isn't anyone available, the Library likely carries material that we can refer to.

[a bit of silence. She's unused to such.... Autonomy]

Shall I meet you at the gardens or would you like me to seek some research to help answer your questions?

[breakin_ur_lore]

That's true. It's a pretty nice library - there must be books about planting and farming. Or I can see if the planets have any....

Oh, um...[it's awfully nice of her to offer to not only help plant it, but also to help look it up. He gazes at the tree for a few moments, then gives the camera a smile.] Maybe we can meet in the library. It shouldn't take long to find something if there's two of us.

[there's a long silence from the other end before Fi responds]

Initial request: assistance in placing the large plant within the ground. Will you be amending it to include seeking information on how to best proceed?



Very well. I will proceed to the library and begin searching for information what may be most beneficial to our task.
