[So, this is something he's been wondering - and eventually, seriously considering - for the last couple of months, mostly when they landed on Arslae and he realized how ill-equipped he is to deal with conflict. For most people, it would simply be a matter of avoiding fights. But for him... well. It's kind of all he's ever been good for.

Getting told that, hey, one of your crewmates is a murderer is more or less the last straw to break through his indecisive camel back.]

I have a question, mostly for whoever's gotten personal those personal augment upgrades you can buy, or at least thought about it. I'd really like to know- what's it like? Which did you choose? Why would you choose to get one- or why not? I mean, the people offering them up aren't exactly trustworthy, but they all sound pretty useful, too.

Basically, I'm trying to weigh the pros and cons. I'd appreciate the help.

[ Shinjiro considers that. ]

It makes sense that the food would be different from Earth's.

[huaaaaagh]

No kidding. It's actually kind of shocking, how much of it is Earth-themed. You'd think we would be eating ground-up alien secretions instead of burger powder.

[ Shinjiro makes a face. ]

I'm... glad we're not.

What, not feeling too adventurous? The weirdest food is usually the tastiest.

[axeboyfriend]

You're probably right. It's just strange to think about.

[huaaaaagh]

Haha, yeah. Well, it's all theoretical, anyway.

[He steps aside and gestures to the pan, now that things are cooking.]

Here, give it a try. It's better to get a feel for the equipment, since it can be kind of twitchy.

[ He takes over with the ease of someone who is familiar with a kitchen, even if this one's a bit different from the ones he's used to on Earth. ]

Anything in particular I should know about it?

Mm... the oven turns itself off after half an hour, so if whatever you're cooking isn't done by then, you have to turn it back on again.

Oh, and the two front burners will probably set your food on fire if you turn them on to power 6. 5 and a half is fine, 6 and a half is fine, but right at 6? You're doomed.

Don't even bother with the back-left burner. The only setting that still works is the max, and if you need food to cook that fast you might as well use the microwave.
