Its been about four weeks. Though I guess I should say Earth weeks. Twenty-seven days since we started turning up. Two since it started happening again.

[Which begs the question, when does it stop? Seventy-two beds on this area of the station. Are they planning to keep going after that?]

Viveca is the name of the AI that spoke to us all then. Some of you may have spoken to her already. She went missing though, a couple of days after we arrived. There was a power cut, she said something about an emergency mode, and then she was gone.

We got a delivery right before that though. Clothes, toiletries, books, food. A bunch of stuff showed up and got split out.

That was when there were twenty-seven of us. Looks like we've about doubled since then. So if you new folks needs something, ask. There's probably someone here who can help.

Speaking of, we're stuck relying on those drops to get fresh food. So don't hog it. There's kids here who need it too.

A guy I know. He cooks up huge batches of food at a time. If you're hungry, check the fridge. Nine times out of ten, he's left something in there you can have.

[And if not, giving Sam a look will probably be more than enough to get him to make something new.]

You've also all probably noticed that you can't get in to the Northern Wing. Its been like that since we first got here, and we've got no idea what's on the other side. It's classified, apparently. Messing with whatever's on the other side would affect us all, so I wouldn't suggest trying to break through.

Don't know about you guys, but I don't plan on getting tossed out an airlock if I can help it.

[And that's it. No sign off. No goodbye. No anything. Sorry?]

You'd think after getting into space, food wouldn't even be a big deal anymore.

So. These planets. Can we hunt? Round up more food so we're not waiting around for the next rations?

[starer]

Way I see it, it's the other way round. We're cut off, so all we've got is what's already here.

We've not been to any planets yet. Guess we need to see if we can bring anything back when we get sent on a mission.

[thevalley]

Still, you'd think they'd be able to like... make food just appear in a food... generator... thing.

I dunno, I saw it in a comic.

[starer]

Honestly, I ain't got a clue what's possible and what's not back home. Finding myself on a space station is even worse.

Why wouldn't food be a big deal in space?

And, we haven't been to a planet yet. There wasn't anybody else here aside from the AI, when the first of us were summoned. I would assume hunting is fine when we arrive on one, though. Depending on what kind of wildlife there is.

[thevalley]

Uh, because making sure people can eat was kinda a big deal on Earth?

How long have you guys been here?

[coordination]

Unfortunately, it still can be. Expanding to space hasn't fixed that.

[ He's speaking from experience. But that experience is also because of war, so you know. ]

We've been here for roughly a month, now?

[thevalley]

Probably made it worse. What were you gonna do if you ran out in the middle of space? Start hunting for space worms?

From my own experience back home, it's definitely still a big deal in space. Rationing food was pretty much a normal thing we all had to do.

I'm not sure about planet since we haven't been off the ship yet but hopefully we'll find out during this upcoming mission if we can bring anything back.
