[ 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!

In the time I've been here, yes. Maybe before everyone started showing up, though, because we stop at stations to pick up food and supplies.

[angerissues]

I was wondering how this place stayed stocked. [ He figured it was just done during the jumps when no one would be able to see how it happened. ]

[walksonrooftops]

They announce whenever they go to the stations, but no one's supposed to leave the ship, even then.

[Which is why it's such a bad thing that he and a few others decided to sneak out on the cargo craft, but he'll refrain from sharing that for now.]

[angerissues]

Right because if we do that, they'll have no way of getting us back on without drugging us again. [ He assumes that's what happens when they go into the grav couches because he doesn't know any better. ]

[walksonrooftops]

Yeah. Unless this ship is the only way to get home. Then maybe it would be better to come back, even if it's unpleasant.

[angerissues]

See, the problem with that is the fact that we have no guarantee we'll be getting home anytime soon. Because they could claim that all they want - and it might be true - but we could be stuck here for years before we even see our homes again. [ Mason does't want to go home, though, because he - and Jenna for that matter - has nothing to go back to. ]

[walksonrooftops]

Maybe.

[He can't say for sure. No one can. However, Asato's reluctant to leave the familiar and the comfortable behind, and now that he's settled in to life on the ship, he's begun to fear what could happen if he were to end up elsewhere in space, on a station or even on another craft.]

It's for each person to decide. There are ways to get to the stations, but if you're found out, you'll be punished.

[angerissues]

Speaking from experience, or...?

[walksonrooftops]

It's...ah. It's a thing I heard.

[He's a bad liar.]

Some people were able to sneak out last time.

[angerissues]

[ Yeah, Mason doesn't believe that at all. ]

Let me guess: it was a "friend of a friend" that snuck out?

[walksonrooftops]

I shouldn't say names. They could get in trouble.

[angerissues]

Of course. [ He looks pretty amused, though. ] I should probably get going, but thanks again for all this stuff.

[walksonrooftops]

[A nod and a smile.] Of course. If you need anything else, you can call me.

[angerissues]

I will. [ With a nod and a smile of his own - and the supplies in hand - Mason turns to head out. He'll have to talk to Asato more about the sneaking off ship sometime, but for now, he wants to go get his plant set up. Or... seed and dirt that'll hopefully become a plant. ]
