WHEN Upon reaching the system (Jan. 4) to leaving it (Jan. 31)

[ It's another day, another planet for the Drift Fleet to explore. Whether it be relaxing in the landing field, checking out the spa (and subsequently getting urged to enter the woods), or taking on the Enchanted Forest's game, there's enough to do for stir-crazy Fleet members.

Just remember one thing: make it look good. ]

[ She's slowly made her way through the woods, and now there is a familiar face ahead. Well. A familiar figure. With a gun. Best not to startle her, she figures, stepping into the clearing. ]

What are you doing, Hange?

[ Whatever it is, it looks interesting, and she knows Hange enough to assume it's useful as well. ]

[aberrant_type]

[She understands these woods a little better now, and as such she's more at ease, but it's still a good idea not to startle her in general. Hange looks up and smiles at Emblica in greeting, though her hands keep moving.]

I'm collecting some samples. I hope that in a forest of this size and diversity, we'll find some plants with helpful properties that we can cultivate on board our ships.

[amarant]

What a good idea...is there any way that I could help?

[ Finally, something she might be able to do. ]

[aberrant_type]

Absolutely! [She straightens up some, dusting off her knees, and then makes her way over to Emblica.]

What I'm doing is taking samples of seeds if I can find them... flowers if not... roots... anything we can reproduce the plant from, understand? If you can detect whether or not the plant will be useful in whatever way, let me know. If it's edible, medicinal, and so on. We can use your immortality to test whether or not things are poisonous, correct?

[amarant]

[ Nods slowly, and then with a bit more sureness. ]

I can do that, yes.

[aberrant_type]

Can you detect those kinds of things? If there's poison, or anything beneficial? Without touching the plant?

[amarant]

Unfortunately, no.

[aberrant_type]

So you have to ingest it.

[amarant]

It's fine. Really, it is.

[aberrant_type]

... You're sure about this immortality business?

[amarant]

I've certainly had enough chances to find out.

[aberrant_type]

Before I actually feed you something poisonous, do you mind if I ask for a demonstration?

[amarant]

Would you rather I handle it myself?

[ She knows Hange could kill someone, but she isn't sure of her position on killing acquaintances. ]

[aberrant_type]

How do you mean? [WHAT ARE YOU THINKING EMBLICA]
