yeah!! did you see all the chocolate and cake and stuff
its all really good i wish we had more stuff like that back home

[and then, because it hits him that he's babbling like an idiot in front of one of his superior officers, he quickly sends another message that's a little smarter in content.]

do you think we could keep the seeds for later or something

[verifying]

[It's okay, Connie. It's not like your enthusiasm isn't shared. If anything, they deserve to appreciate what conveniences they've gained for all of this, right?]

I don't think I've ever tasted anything as sweet as chocolate in my life. I had stomach pains for at least half the day!

[All in the name of science she supposes.]

You know, that's actually a good idea. We could always reserve a few and study the rest, try to figure out and replicate the ideal conditions so that we can successfully grow them when we return.

[springrolls]

you should try it with marshmallows i almost choked

[Largely because he shoved half the box down his throat in one go, but hey who's counting?]

okay ill do that with all my stuff then
should i put them in a jar for you or something?

[verifying]

Why did you choke? Were they still alive when you tried to eat them?

And yeah, we'll make a collection out of them! Just make sure to dry them properly so they won't sprout prematurely.

[springrolls]

[thirty second pause before:]

i ate too many at once

[AND NOW THAT HIS FAUX PAS HAS BEEN REVEALED TO THE WORLD time to move on.]

but i can keep them all in the same jar right
i dont have to seperate them

[verifying]

Well, at least you didn't die.

[Sometimes you're just too charming, Hange.]

There's probably no risk with throwing them all in the same jar.
But it'd be better to separate and label them properly for our own records.

Ajna doesn't provide the best conditions for farming, but once we move on I'd like to try planting and and studying the ideal conditions for each one.

[springrolls]

[HAHA Connie properly separating and labeling his jars....good luck with that one, Hange. He'll do his best but uh no promises.]

do you think the instructors woudl give me extra jars if i asked i dont think i have enough for everything

also do you think well have enough time
we kind of move around a lot

[At least on missions.]

[verifying]

[She'll be cheering from the sidelines...]

There's no harm in asking, I don't think. If anything, we can improvise with our containers.

And time certainly is a factor. We might have to wait a planet or two to gather an average of how long these missions will last before experimenting.

[springrolls]

ok

[Real talk though, he's starting to feel more and more unsure about the outcome of these missions.]

do you think were really going to destroy this planet
we havnt really done anything yet

[verifying]

I'm not sure. Either way, I don't think it's smart to take their orders lightly.
They certainly possess the technology to cause harm to this planet. I just don't know the extent yet.

[springrolls]

i dont want to destroy this place though
it feels w rong

[verifying]

[There's a distinct pause, before:]

I'm not going to say it's the right thing to do.
But for now, it's all we can do.

[springrolls]

[So comforting, Squad Leader. :( But alright, he can roll with that for now.]

ok
ill get the seeds to you soon then
