Who: Beverly Crusher & Yamanaka Ino ... AND YOU!
Broadcast: Video
Action: On the Iskaulit only
When: Now!

[ The video feed turns on, and there's a blonde girl with a much taller redhead.

They're in an empty-ish room on the Iskaulit, it looks like, and Ino checks to make sure the feed is going before speaking up. ]

Hi everyone! Dr. Crusher and I had an idea, we wanted to see if you guys were interested ...

[ She'll glance over to the other woman, waiting for her to speak up ]

We're thinking of setting up a garden over here on the Iskaulit. I know I, for one, could use a more natural retreat from the confines of our ships during longer stretches of travel between planets. I'm certain we could redirect some of the current water systems for irrigation, and there's more than sufficient space here to build sunlamps and the other equipment we'd need. [She smiles.] Unfortunately, while we both have experience working with plants, I'm afraid neither of us are particularly adept engineers.

[ Ino nods along, grinning a little at the very end of Beverly's statement ]

Now, I know there's plenty of you out there who've got the know-how to help us out. Soooo, what do you say? I've already got a decent stash of seeds and stuff that we could start planting right away, given we've got the right light and water conditions. Of course, we'll also gladly accept any donations or -- y'know, help from all the budding horticulturists out there, so on and so forth.

So? Do we have any takers?

[When Beverly sees Furiosa come into the room, she crosses over to her with a smile and extends a hand out in greeting.]

Welcome! I'm afraid we haven't been properly introduced. I'm Dr. Beverly Crusher, of the SS Blue Fish.

Imperator Furiosa, pilot for the First Breath.

[She reaches out and shakes Beverly's hand, grip firm but not overbearing. Her left arm is a cobbled together prosthetic of scrap metal, hydraulic tubing, and whatever tools filled in the gaps. She's not finished with it yet, but definitely has a good start on it.] Is this the room you want to put it in?

[She nods.] We believe it has one of the better connections to the water supply. [Beverly tilts her head towards Ino, standing by an odd configuration of pipes on the other side of the room.] Ino's over there taking a look at it right now.

[ So she is! If by "taking a look at it", Bev really means "staring at it in confusion because Ino does not know how to engineer a damn thing."

But whens he hears her name being said, she's turning to wave at the newcomer! ]

[Furiosa waves back, and walks over with Beverly to join Ino at the pipes. She's looking at the pipes and trying to visualize the possible flow. It's quite different than her war rig, though, so she's in for a challenge.]

So, what do we know so far?

I think the Nunnalis use a similar condensation and filtration system like the fleet does, but I'm not certain of that, as I've only seen this end of things. Surely there is a filtration or processing room more centrally located on the ship.
