[There's a little delay and the barely audible sound of shuffling as Laura turns her comm on. Then, finally, a faint breath before she speaks.]

I need to know how to replant a small tree.

[That is the entire message. So social.]

At the wreck of the ship

[Laura has been spending a lot of time at the giant ruined ship and the surrounding forest, her curiosity about the wreck only outweighed by her desire to be out amongst the trees. She knew this would end soon, the fleet would move on and they'd wind up stuck in space for weeks, or on another dying world, or worse yet, some space station. More cramped hallways and recycled air.]

[The ship was a compromise, open to the jungle in enough places that she could poke around inside it without feeling like she was caged in. But she didn't really have anything specific she was looking for. When she came across something that might be useful, she'd pull it down or cut it out of the ship, and she had slowly amassed a pile of broken machinery near one of the holes into the hull.]

[Other times she can just be found sitting on the outside of the ship, high up as close to the top as her claws could get her, just...watching the forest. And the other people exploring the wreckage.]


On the Red Fish

[While they're on the planet, Laura is away much of the time. She's even sleeping out in the jungle, only coming back every few days to drop off things she might have found, or get a desperately needed shower and change of clothing. People can catch her coming back filthy or heading off clean.]

[Later on, she brings home a pumpkin. It winds up sitting in the hallway outside of her room, too big to comfortably bring in. But small enough to walk around. Mostly. Feel free to complain. Or try to eat her pumpkin. That will end well.]

[He's not sure why he's answering. The whim of a moment, perhaps, but...well, he has just spent the last year of his life looking after a small tree, even if that's (probably) not remotely the same.]

...The roots are the most important part. You need to make sure you don't damage them in the process. Bring some of the soil from where you found it to plant it in. Make sure it's got plenty of room to spread those roots, it won't thrive if it's too cramped. It will need a lot of strong light, and plenty of water.

In fact, I'm not sure these ships are really the right environment for a young tree.

And I'm sure that'll do for now, but eventually you're going to need a larger pot, and probably a taller room...if it can even get enough light that it doesn't grow stunted. ...Not that I have any real reason to care, I'm just warning you that it may not turn out as well as you're hoping.

I guess that depends on what you want it for.
