[Have the Mayor's happy, shiny, smiling face.]

Well! If that wasn't just the adventure of a lifetime, huh? I hope everyone's made it out of there with all fingers and toes intact. And I hope that's not the standard definition of hospitality out here in space!

Though, speaking of hospitality...Who all picked up some new supplies? I know, I know, you're all probably thinking, "Too soon," and, gosh darn it, you're probably right, I admit it. But, heck, we've all got to work together, and figuring out how to make this crazy life of ours out here a little bit nicer - well, that fosters a bit of togetherness! So here's what I think: anyone who grabbed things they don't necessarily need, meet up and we can have a swap. What do you all think?

Do you like cookies?

Do I like cookies.

[REALLY YOUNG WOMAN.]

Is the earth round?

I'll put some in a bag for you.

Now, isn't that just the nicest thing! What kind are they?

Shortbread. And plain sugar ones, too.

We found a lot of nice things to bake with. I came back early, though.

Well, that's good. Sounds like there was a spot of trouble over there.

I'm glad I managed to avoid it.

That is some luck indeed.

[ She is so distressed right now why are you so happy. ]

I stayed here.

Well, that's too bad! I bet someone nice might let you pick up an unwanted thing or two, though.

Not bad at all, from how it sounds. I like the gardens.

[ Stupid space station. Stupid prison quarters. ]

Maybe.

Hold on now - maybe you like the gardens?

[ STARING AT HIM maybe he's gotten a head injury ]

... Yes, I do.

Well, you sounded uncertain there, young lady. "I like the gardens, maybe."

[ Immediate correction: ] Jaye.

And no -- maybe someone will share. Not going to hope, though.

Now, why not?

[ Shrug. ] Pointless. People went to loot for themselves.

Now, is that pessimism I hear?

Or realism.

You know what would help you?

[ please don't say a hug ]

No. No one else seems to, either.

You think people are willing to be that generous?

Well, sure! We're a nice bunch, aren't we?
