Has anyone made it back from this rescue trip yet?

Also if you're not going but bored and looking for something to do. The gardens always need people.

The gardens... 'need people'?

To keep it running, yes. We grow food, keep the ship alive with oxygen. The agriculture department?

There's a group which sees to that? I had not been aware.

It is open to volunteers?

Yes, very much. I think there's only four of us right now and I'm pretty sure some of them went on that rescue mission.

Then I'd like to. My name is Jean Prouvaire- it is good to meet you.

I've planted a small plot in the garden already, with seeds I pitted from the fresh fruit aboard the Cyllene. I've no idea if they'll grow or no, but I've been attempting to tend to them since the incident.

Please let me know what else there is to look after. I thought the garden to be rather more rampant and wild than tended to.

You too. I'm Chell.

I can show you the basics. Whenever Ned shows up he can show you more, he's the head of the department, currently off somewhere.

I would appreciate that. Thank you.

In the meanwhile, I wish any of your missing acquaintances a safe return. This ship has a repugnant sense of humor.

Yeah, now it just has to start insulting us and it'll feel like home.

Do you know anyone who went off on the rescue trip?

Ah, yes. The tried and true taunts from afar; the cowardice doesn't even have the decency to be witty, most of the time.

Some of the dearest people I know, yes. I have no love for the hallways and the underbelly here, but I do think it best perhaps to join them in searching, if everyone is not returned whole and soon.

I just ignore them.

If everyone goes off searching, we'll have no one to run the ship though.

For the best, certainly.

While that's certainly true, I have to admit that I'm not of particular use in technological feats. Nor would I be of much use in any way whatsoever, with the people I love long-missing.

Are there many people you know on the ship?

I would not say many, I am not so social as that. But I have been her for a long, long while, and I am fond of quite a few. There are also many from my home.

What of you, Mademoiselle Chell?

Not really. No one from my home is here and I usually stick to the gardens.

Have you been her for long?

1 year and 2 months

Such a long while as well.

Do you miss your home?

[That one she takes a moment to answer because... yeah home.]

I haven't seen much of it yet, but yeah I miss the being free moments of it.

Then I truly believe you shall see it again someday soon.

Thanks.

What about you? Do you miss your home?

In some ways, very much. The nature especially. Fresh air, wild berries.

But then, perhaps, I have also learned to be grateful of being here, too.

i haven't been to the gardens why did you stay?

They are giant and what keeps the ship full of oxygen and food.

Didn't think I'd be much help if I went.

i'd like to see it

It's open to everyone.

Possibly not the best time to be attempting recruitment, but I suppose when opportunity knocks.

I haven't heard of anyone getting back, yet.

Who knows how long the rest of them will be gone. Might as well try and get some people in to cover for them.

Well that's a remarkably harsh way of looking at it. Though if none of them make it back before the jump, then we likely won't need so many staff in the gardens anyway.

We'll still need oxygen.

You think they won't make it?

Something the garden managed to provide without our aid for quite some time, if the overgrown state of it has been any indication.

I'm rather trying not to think about what they're doing at all, though it's something of a losing battle.

[Text??? Text?! TEXT.]

Thanks

[Guess who's back and still not at work.]

You're alive

Feel like shit

[But yes, alive.]

Better then dead.

[That is her life motto for everything really. Still.]

Need anything from the gardens?

Maybe
Don't know. What happened

While you guys were gone? Not much. There were two of us left but we managed.

Found someone who said he's interested in joining the gardens. Jean Prouvaire.

Josias
?

What did you show him

Yeah, he was here.

I showed him the basics.
