Who: Zoe Hange
Broadcast: Yes, fleetwide video
Action: If you're on the Red Fish
When: 2/16 early afternoon

[Tap-tap-tappity goes Hange's finger on the mic, and the speakers pop-pop-pop in response. There's a moment's pause, and then Hange flicks the setting from audio to video and grins at the camera.]

Good afternoon, everyone! New arrivals and parties being planned, I see everyone's keeping busy. Good, good! The fastest way to get bored is to give yourself nothing to do!

Speaking of that - I've been working on a little something I'd like to rope the whole fleet into, if ships are willing! It'd be to the benefit of all of us, hopefully, and I think it would boost morale around here too. We aren't meant to be crammed in these cans with no sky and no trees around. So!

[Up pop some drawings, in front of the screen. It looks like a vertical setup of... troughs? Deep troughs with some other stuff thrown in there. Hange's voice continues cheerfully from behind her papers.]

What I'd like to do is get us microfarming! I took as many samples as I could from that forest, so we have some stock to start with. I'm looking especially at producing edible plants and those with medicinal purposes! Vertical arrangement would be more space-efficient then horizontal. I'm hoping to start things off on the Red Fish, and if we see success, build similar setups in the ships of those who are interested! One of our young engineers seems confident he can set us up with growlights, so that'd mitigate the lack of sunlight we see on these ships. And I know we have some people around who are excellent at working with plants!

[She drops the papers, grins sunnily at the camera again.]

Of course, they'd require tending to. That's why I'm broaching the idea to everyone!

[Kaneis]

Say! Introduce me to your botanically-inclined crewmate!

[Hiro]

You're still on board for this, right?
onlyanapple: (Oh you mean you meant to do that)

[personal profile] onlyanapple 2015-02-16 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure, why not. I'm pretty good at getting plants to grow. It's a gift.
onlyanapple: (Hawt)

[personal profile] onlyanapple 2015-02-16 11:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh the things I could tell you.

Anyway, had a lot of houseplants, back home. I imagine it's not that much different, other than you can eat these ones.
onlyanapple: (Most subtil of beasts)

[personal profile] onlyanapple 2015-02-17 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
Sure, this hunk of junk might as well be good for something. I'm sure the elves will get a kick out of all the plantlife.
onlyanapple: (Better than you)

So long as we don't play any more games I have no chance of winning.
wilder: (❂ whoa)

[Kaneis seems very surprised. Because man, he's been spending the past hour hiding from Flora after her newest augment malfunction]

What? Now??
wilder: (❂ secondhand embarrassment)

Hange

[personal profile] wilder 2015-02-17 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
Well....how do I put this-

I'm kind of hiding out in a shuttle from her at the moment.
onlyanapple: (Nicotine Habit)

[personal profile] onlyanapple 2015-02-17 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
My, I'll have to give it some consideration, then.
wilder: (❂ booored)

Hange FOREVER

[personal profile] wilder 2015-02-17 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
Not normally! Usually she's weirdly friendly and sweet! [Because to Kaneis that's weird]

But I think her augment's acting up or she's going through fairy moodswings. First she was crazy competitive about being the best ship, and now she won't stop changing things with her magic.

[personal profile] detectivewonder 2015-02-17 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
What kinds of medicinal plants?
wilder: (❂ you're kidding right?)

[personal profile] wilder 2015-02-17 01:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[....]

[Oh good, he triggered the maniac]


Oh second thought, let me go grab her for you.
wilder: (❂ booored)

[personal profile] wilder 2015-02-17 02:32 pm (UTC)(link)
No, no- that's alright. I'm sure she'd love to tell you all about it. [muttering] Maybe they can entertain each other.

[Opening up the shuttle door so he can track down the fairy]
ino: (Oh rly?)

video; TOTALLY NOT LATE ...

[personal profile] ino 2015-02-17 04:28 pm (UTC)(link)
I'd be happy to help with the plants. I've helped run a flower shop ever since I was a kid, so I should be able to work with a greenhouse type of set-up.
ino: (Cheerful.)

Makes sense. Eventually it'd be great if we could get similar setups on all the ships, though ... !

Experience, more like. And knowledge of what types of plants work for medicines, which could also be handy aside from edible plants.
