week 2

[airlockedmods]

[With the sudden pirate takeover and the sudden, tragic deaths of the crew, the second week of the Starfield Penitentiary rehabilitation project is off to a rough start. After Price's call for parlay with the pirate captain, he was not seen for the remainder of Saturday but around 10 pm it is his calm but tense voice that makes the time announcement.

Buckle in, Champions, things are about to get bumpy.]

[ that definitely does not look like people food. but fortinbras' was...good...and it's kind of sad to think about, but mako's willing to give it a try. ]

How does it taste?

[tenimuho]

It's good. It's not the same as my usual, but that isn't a bad thing.

[...he entirely fails to mention how ridiculously spicy it is.]

[chides]

Mind if I try some?

[ oh no... ]

[tenimuho]

[He just forgets that not everyone can tolerate the same level of spice, he's not trying to be mean...]

Not at all. Help yourself.

[chides]

[ actually, mako's used to the heat, being a firebender... so when he takes a small sample of the curry?

it's actually really good. ]

Hey...it's not bad.

[tenimuho]

Not bad at all. I don't think I could replicate the recipe when I go home, but if I could I might try to keep making it there.

[Alas, he's stuck with Earth ingredients.]

[chides]

You'd think that space food would taste more...space-y.

[ it tastes a lot more human than he thought it would! ]

Anyway, thanks for letting me sample it. I won't eat your entire bowl.

[tenimuho]

It's nothing, really.

...What does space taste like?

[He couldn't put it into words even now that he's considering it.]

[chides]

I don't know, I guess more...bitter, maybe?

[ THAT'S...the best way he knows how to describe it ]

[tenimuho]

That makes sense. I don't know many humans who like bitter foods.

[logic.]

[chides]

Yeah. Guess space ingredients are more human than I thought they'd be.

[tenimuho]

Or maybe they just decided to stock the kitchen with things that humans can eat, and some aliens eat things like rocks or plastic.

[chides]

Fortenbras was really good at cooking human food, then.

[ a little sad look, but... anyway. ]

Is this what you requested earlier?

[tenimuho]

It was. I'm glad he got it to us.

[They'll remember him fondly when they eat their earth foods.]

[chides]

Yeah. He...didn't deserve what happened to him. At all.

[tenimuho]

Not at all. ...Do you think anyone picked up on that distress signal, before it was cut off?

[chides]

It's possible, but I don't know how far away we are from other people. Life forms. We can only hope, at this point.

[tenimuho]

There isn't much we can do about that. Trying to send another signal would probably end the same way for us.

[chides]

I agree. And I'd much rather not have what happened to Fortinbras happen to any of us.

[tenimuho]

It wouldn't be worth it.

[He can appreciate a sacrifice when it makes a difference.]

[chides]

No, it wouldn't, especially if we don't know if anyone can see it.

[ because if nobody's out there who can see the distress signal? you'd be sacrificing your life for nothing. no more of people dying, please. ]

Once was enough.

[ for now. ]

[tenimuho]

...I don't want to make anyone who saw Fourtinbras' death react that way again.

[So many people who aren't used to seeing corpses. It's better that they don't have to see another.]

[chides]

Definitely. Especially the younger ones.

[ the first time seeing a corpse is really, really hard.

mako would know. ]

[tenimuho]

...They shouldn't have been here in first place.

[Put them in space juvie, or something, but not... Not this situation that's already wearing them down.]

[chides]

No, they shouldn't have. Actually, a lot of us shouldn't be here.

[ well i mean

maybe oda because you're in the mafia but ]
