Across the Expanse: Day 6
*Start transmission*
Havardy: Happy Colonization Day.
Lee: For which planet?
Havardy: I dunno, Genos Prime maybe? There’s bound to be
one planet out there celebrating it today.
Lee: You really have a lot of holidays don't you?
Havardy: Bored people tend to celebrate the most mundane
things, brightens up their life a little.
Lee: I guess that's true, can't blame you for doing
it at least.
Havardy: Exactly.
Lee: So how are you celebrating the holiday?
Havardy: I decided to splurge a little and eat an extra
ration.
Lee: Chili or Pasta?
Havardy: Please, what kind of woman do you take me for?
Beef Stroganoff.
Lee: We have those?
Havardy: Only when you're bored enough to peruse the
entire menu. Requisitions thought I was joking when I first requested it.
Lee: I thought you were joking.
Havardy: Well I’m not, this stuff is delicious. Nothing
compared to a home cooked meal though.
Lee: Yeah, a fresh cooked meal would sound great
right now. I do have a kitchen, maybe I should start requesting fresh ingredients.
Havardy: Lucky, all I got is a rehydrator and a heater.
Not that it really matters, I can’t really cook anyways.
Lee: I can cook a few basic recipes, nothing fancy
though.
Havardy: Drat, and here I was about to request that you
cook me a three course meal.
Lee: My apologies.
Havardy: Don’t sweat it. What are you doing anyways?
Lee: You that whole not having a degree issue on my
dossier?
Havardy: What about… you aren’t.
Lee: I am, going through some class materials on my
PA right now.
Havardy: What class?
Lee: History.
Havardy: *Groans* I’d rather wander around the Expanse
for days than take another History class.
Lee: That’s a sentiment I can agree with. Some of
this info is just so tedious.
Havardy: Yeah, I mean who the hell needs to know what
happened in 2050? That was hundreds of years ago!
Lee: “To learn from history is to learn from our
mistakes. Without looking into the past we cannot hope to build our future.”
Havardy: How philosophical.
Lee: I guess, it was at the top of the professor’s
syllabus.
Havardy: Sounds like a total cheese ball.
Lee: Oh he’s quite the slice of cheddar for sure.
Havardy: I prefer the Gouda type myself.
Lee: Nutty, but sweet at the same time?
Havardy: That’s the one. You should have seen this
Chemistry professor I had back at the Academy. She about blew the classroom up
every other lab.
Lee: And they let her keep her job?
Havardy: For as long as I was there at least. Apparently she
was huge in the weapons division of R&D, which would explain the explosions
I guess.
Lee: ...the Academy sounds like a safe place.
Havardy: Eh, it had its moments, but it was pretty boring
most of the time. Better than studying on some rock in the middle of nowhere.
So yeah… sucks to be you.
Lee: Thanks for that.
Havardy: Don’t mention it.
Lee: Anyways I’m gonna get back to studying, there is
a lot I gotta memorize here.
Havardy: Ech, have fun.
Lee: As much as I can. Have a happy Colonization Day.
Havardy: Already on it, I’m sure there’s a ration that
kind of like a cake somewhere…
