[ today you can see cisco ramon putting tons of cheddar gel between two wheat solids, pressing them all together into a sandwich before heating them up on the highest setting available. it's not really grilled cheese but it's as close as it comes.

he's already eating out of a plate of frozen banana cubes ]

ok so eating all of this alone while everyone else is partying is absolutely my senior prom all over again just in space-setting.

[ oh to be a nerd, even in space. ]

so - what do we call ourselves? the fleeters? this is just for future knowledge, I am not in any way implying that title is.

[ the space microwave beeps ]

are they going to serve frozen tequila cubes in that party? because if so then a) awesome and b) I think those should definitely be provided to those of us who are stuck here on board of the SS No-Date.

Just saying.

It's ok. In a way I knew this was coming, global warming and all.

[ sighing ]

...were we able to save most of the humans? do I want to know the answer or?

That is what eventually did it, yes- and overpopulation. Too many people, not enough resources to go around.

From what I understand, yes. Of course, it may well have been impossible to have EVERYONE evacuate, but history tells us most humans were perfectly willing to leave before it became truly uninhabitable.

Fairly well now, though when I was younger there was a civil war. The central planets- that is, the ones closest to our seat of government- are bastions of culture and learning. There are also planets that have little more than farms and ranches, and everything in between. A process called terraforming allows them to be habitable.

are you from - the central ones or the farmlands? farmplanets? is that what they're called?

I grew up on a more affluent planet called Osiris, but once I'd graduated from med school, I decided to travel. Visit some of the border planets and bring my services to people who didn't have regular doctor access.

Like third-world planets? or - third-planets-planets? is there even a name for those in your time?

[ he'll have to start writing all of this stuff down ]

We didn't really have a term for them... well, sometimes "backwater", but that seems unkind. But yes- newly-settled planets tended to be strictly ranches and saloons. Not much in the way of hospitals or clinics.
