[Even in the midst of this, we still have new crew shuffled in. Nice to see the Atroma are all business as usual, right? Welcoming Kaname to a pretty miserable ship, all things considered. :|]

[Blue eyes widen as she watches and listens to the process of the flower being born. Hesitating only for a moment, she reaches out to hold the creation.]

It's so pretty... [She smiles, looking back to Merlan.]

It is for pleasure, yes, but so much more than that. We use it to encourage people and make them smile. What we do gives them hope. Our voices are able to cure and prevent the Var, a syndrome that was plaguing the galaxy. The source was eventually discovered and stopped, something we assisted with as well.

[A hum of amusement escapes her.] We're all family. Walkure, the Delta Flight, and the rest of the Elysion crew.

Ah! That's what song is supposed to be used for, at least that's what I've come to believe. If used just at the right moment at just the right frequency... That's pretty brilliant.

[Her face lights up. She's thinking, then, absorbing the other woman's words with little nods and smiles.]

Family is important to have no matter if they're found or blood. Sounds like a wonderful one to me if they help you do such important work.

There's more to it than that, but it can wait for another time.

[A nod.] They are. We've all helped each other in different ways.

[She realizes something before chuckling.] But enough about me.

Mm.

[Merlan smiles warmly.]

It took me awhile to feel settled in. I was Security before and now, suddenly, I'm Engineering. I suppose that's okay, though since I've advanced training in it on my planet. I'm enjoying the new knowledge in my head. I think it's much more my speed.

It's nice that you feel more comfortable with it. I'm personnel, myself, and I won't complain about an office.

[She thinks for a moment.] I think I can see why that might fit.

I'm actually going to see if I can get some sort of hydroponics set up at some point, that way we have fresh food around more often. Goo is...um. Not exactly appetising, if you know what I mean. But it's a project on the back burner, for the moment.

[Merlan will, at some point, write that one down along with a booklet full of other ideas. But it's a good one.]

I'm pretty sure I can build a proper lab. Maybe a test run in my quarters. [She laughs, then, and shakes her head.] Guess that means wherever we land next, I'll have to start stockpiling seeds. Edible as well as the pretty flowering ones.

[She hums as she tilts her chin a little. She'll run it by Sam and Nami, for sure.]

Too much ambition?

I'm not sure there's ever too much, but it does sound like a major undertaking. I can't really say how it might go.

[Speaking of... Kaname takes a bite of hers and grimaces a little.]

However, I won't dissuade you at all.

There we have it, then. Working towards some sort of hydroponics lab is firmly in the to-do column.

[Merlan laughs and tips at her tea for awhile.]

It might taste a bit better with seasoning, though. There's a whole drawerful over there [She points.] if you want to test some out.

Or just something else.

[Despite the lack of appeasement, Kaname does take another bite.]

I thought I had added enough. Clearly not. [Still she doesn't move.] Next time.

I guess it takes awhile to get used to, like most new things. [Merlan hums, thinking, and then rises to rummage through the fridge.]

How's it taste at the moment?
