[ The first thing that can be seen when the feed clicks on is a shitload of green. Then Mason shifts the comm so it's focused on him. ] So, this oxygen garden. How's it work? Is there someone that takes care of it and decides who gets to plant what, or is it more a community free for all? [ He needs to try to plant some Wolfsbane because when it runs out, life is going to suck. Not only for him but for everyone on board. ] And if someone's in charge of it, could somebody tell me how to get a hold of them?

ooc: open to action with whoever might be in/near the oxygen garden!

Just an herb from back home. It was kinda hard to find in most places, so I doubt it would end up taking over the entire garden; I just thought that maybe, since this whole place is a guessing game, that it might be worth it to try to grow it here. See if I can get it to survive a little better.

If you or anyone else is that worried about overloading the garden, though, I won't plant it. It's not like I'll die without it. [ He smiles, like it's not a big deal even though he really is worried about what'll happen if it he runs out of the stuff. He may not die but it would definitely increase the risk for others on the ship. ]

[ Capa is quick to shake his head. He doesn't want to prevent people from planting, just doing his job as a member of the crew to see that the lay-passengers are aware of the situation. ] A controlled environment like the oxygen garden might be exactly the place to help propagate it. [ A beat. ] Which could be a good thing.

Unfortunately, botany isn't my specialty. So I can't really tell you either way. [ He pauses, considering; taking the time to weigh out the options. ] But I'm sure, if we take certain precautions— couldn't hurt to try.

[ That gets a nod and even though Mason keeps it from showing on his face, relief floods through him. He'd been worried that this guy knew botany and was going to press for more information and he's slowly starting to realize he hadn't quite thought this broadcast through. He should've decided how he was going to work around telling anyone what the plant was because someone might know what it's used for. And even if they don't, they might try to get information on it and Mason doesn't want to find out if the ship's somehow able to provide that. ]

I was planning on just using a small corner somewhere or something. I don't think it'll need a lot of room and as long as I keep an eye on it, I should be able to keep it under control. [ He hopes. ] Just figured I'd check to see if I needed to ask permission beforehand. The ship's big enough that I could probably avoid them, but I'd really prefer not to make any enemies, you know?

[ The thought of having enemies of the ship makes Capa vaguely uncomfortable. Like his mind wants to indulge a bit of deja vu, only he can't seem to fit the pieces in the right order. It's slowly becoming a somewhat common-place experience for him ever since he woke from the jump and was informed by the others that he's been here before. (Sometimes he remembers, sometimes he doesn't, but this time—

Capa shakes his head, and then abruptly stops, realizing that this probably looks strange to someone not privy to his own internal monologue. Even confused as he is, however, his expression remains more or less even. (What was he forgetting now?) ]

I don't know about enemies but more information is always better than less in situations like these. Putting it out in the open keeps people informed. Prevents cross-purposes. Things like that. [ A beat, and then: ] I hate it you've never been to space before.

[ There are some pretty interesting people here... But he shakes his head to the question. ]

I never really wanted to be an astronaut, and I'm pretty sure NASA doesn't offer vacation packages back home. Have you been to space before?
