Who: Eugene Woods
Broadcast: Video
Action: the Wonderduck
When: Tuesday Evening

[Eugene has been on a ship full of teenagers long enough - it's time he delivered on the promises to actually feed them adequately. Which is why he's now broadcasting from the galley, flour-speckled and far, far too pleased with himself. So pleased, in fact, that he'll just go ahead an monologue at the rest of the fleet.]

Some of you out there may have heard a saying, that there's no such thing as bad pizza. Now maybe you haven't heard this - say, for instance, if you come from a world that doesn't actually have pizza. But if you do, this is probably a pretty common truism. Whether you agree with it or not-? Well. That's a matter of taste.

[Pun fully intended, as the little curl of his lips and glint of his eye gives away. But he continues, because in space, there's no one to cue a laugh track.]

But in a hermetically-sealed tin can drifting through the cold vacuum of space, I think we can all agree that standards change. And in celebration of finally creating something that sort of, basically behaves like cheese . . .

[Camera pan to the oven, which he opens with a showman's flourish to reveal . . . a pizza! Basically. Sure, the cheese is a little more yellowish than usual, and the toppings are mostly diced canned meat product and mixed vegetable compound. But it's close enough for him to grin as he shuffles a hand into an oven mitt and withdraws his creation to rest on the stovetop.]

Voila. One down, and another five pies' worth of dough and cheese ready for the crews of the Wonderduck and Vanquish. Not exactly a New York slice, but hey, if anyone wants the next best thing this side of Alpha Centauri? Let's talk.

Well, I do. I took a shell to the stomach like before the Line so pretty much everything in there's artificial.

Oh yeah, definitely. Like I think it's wired in so if there's something I need I just really want food that's got that stuff in it. But it's all top of the line organs.

Yeah, that's more of a D4 thing. I was in the army so I got military grade stuff.

I don't know, I don't really remember? I mean like all I remember before I took that hit was being in the army and eating rat bars and rat packs, and it was pretty much the same after as well, until the Line ended and we went back into the city.

Oh yeah. He was fine pretty fast. Just kind of scared, I think. But I took him back to the ship and got him back on his routine. And Misty and Castle fussed over him later.

He also did a patrol through the ventilation and caught another of those space vermin things. So he did a good job all around.

He brings them back first so we can make sure they don't look like they'll make him sick.
