[reconstitution]

Should I be looking out for any particular ingredients at our next stop? Or utensils?

[ Winter steps out of Erik's space, letting him monopolize the counter again and picks up his discarded mug. He moves to the drinks dispenser for some tea. Coffee's better, but this will work. ]

[grandstanding]

[Erik takes over smoothly, placing more diced food into the pot. It won't take much more before it can be cooked.]

Staples, mostly. Fresh food is easy enough to find on worlds like the last one, but standard cooking bases like flour and sugar aren't as easy to locate.

[reconstitution]

I'll be sure to keep an eye out. We have more than enough places to store an inventory.

[grandstanding]

And plenty of incentive. Hopefully the next place has decent supplies.

[He moves to shift the pot onto the stovetop, and starts fiddling with the knobs to light it. This oven has never wanted to cooperate, despite his considerable time spent trying to work out the best settings.]

I'd also like to get more metal. I've used up everything I had from the moon, in making Charles's new chair.

[reconstitution]

Here's hoping. The last planet was decent for supplies, but there wasn't too much variety.

[ Bucky sits at the table, back to the corner so he can watch Erik as well as the entry to the kitchen. ]

Probably a good idea. I should go looking. [ Though he doesn't really have any idea what he needs to be looking for as far as supplies for his arm goes. The technicians always made sure he had to rely on them for repairs. ]

[grandstanding]

[Erik glances back at Winter, then down to his mangled arm briefly.]

On the moon, I got most of my supplies at a scrapyard. There may be something similar in the next place.

[reconstitution]

I'm sure there's a list of things I need. I'll have to ask, but I'll take a look and see what's available.

[ He's just not sure when. Who even knows what the next planet is going to have. ]

[grandstanding]

I'll stock up like last time. [The stove finally lights, and Erik steps back.] I also want to look for an additional refrigerator.

[reconstitution]

A way to freeze things might be an alternative if one can't be found.

[grandstanding]

A freezer... what a luxury.

[reconstitution]

It's possible to get one working. Or a refrigerator. There are enough engineers in the fleet willing to help with something like that.

[grandstanding]

I'll look into it.
