[video] March winds and April showers
Who: Mantis and you
Broadcast: Yes
Action: Bishop
When: Today
[You might smell a special kind of hot coming from the kitchen today. Not mere heat of gas or electric stove or warm food, but the old school kind that tricks the body into thinking it’s in pain. Mantis is standing at the table with a bag full of chips and several bowls in front of him. There’s a lot of bottles of plastic and glass with all manner of spices in them. The contents of each bowl are stirred with a spoon unique to each one. Just off to the side is a bottle of milk.
Slowly, carefully, he takes a chip out of one of the bowls. It’s covered in a fine powder and he lifts his mask out of the way to smell it. Then he breaks off the smallest piece and pops it into his mouth.
The coughing is almost instantaneous and he slams a fist onto the table before grabbing the milk and taking a great mouthful and holding in in there for a good half a minute. Then he swallows and wipes his mouth with the back of his hand.]
All right. That worked. [He coughs again and nods at the camera.] Vash, I have several batches for you to try. I’m working on arranging them from a general sense of safety to one that will make you feel like your tongue is bleeding. [Cough. He takes another swig of milk.] I hate spicy food, but this is the most effective means of testing what I made without involving other people first.

But yeah, the ancestors of the people of my planet were originally from Earth. It's been a few generations since there.

That is an option I had not considered before. Our planet can barely send people up to live in space stations. We haven't come close to making planets habitable for us.
