Simon was also surprised at the sudden waft of food that tingled his nose. It was a rare occasion, and it made it that much more intriguing. “Thank you, counselor” he said when the Korczak offered the food to the table. He took a modest portion, though would be enough for his height and weight in a doctor’s eyes. Starr was a careful eater, making sure he didn’t overeat or undereat. He had to keep himself fit for duty, and out of all the departments - Security officers needed to be the most physical. He thought to himself he would get some training done later as well, so considered that in his intake.

“Well, I must admit, though I don’t specialize in botany - I did grow up on a farm, so it is very interesting to hear about” Starr smiled “And if your offering Rhese, I forgot to pick up a water while I was at the replicator myself” he replied to Bowman’s offer.

Max reached over and grabbed a perogie. “Thanks Commander. But I’ve got to ask, how come you were lucky enough to grab some real food?” It had been a while since he had eaten real food, instead of replicated. You got used to the replicated food after a while, if nothing else, the consistency was nice. But it was never the same, it always was sort of bland.

Korczak smiled slightly and said “Care package from my mother. She made them herself. I do recommend the sauerkraut.” and he took a bite of a cabbage-stuffed morsel. He didn’t plan on further explanation as to exactly how the care package was sent to him, not that it was anything extraordinary, but he knew a question would probably be forthcoming.

As if on cue, Starr asked “And how did the food get to the ship? It couldn’t have been via the teleporters, the biofilters would have prevented it,” as he thought to himself it was probably someone visiting via shuttle. Again, this wouldn’t explain how the food was also hot, but lacking the taste of something be reheated. He would be dishonest if he said he wasn’t curious, and as a security officer, Starr saw that if real food could get around filters, then things less innocent may also be able to get through them. He was ready to contact Engineering if there was indeed any issues, and awaited Korczak’s response before deciding the best course of action.

Korczak nodded in agreement. “You are correct. The food would have been flagged by the transporters.” and washed the bite of perogi down. “So if it didn’t come via transporter, and we haven’t had a any visitors, how do you Cadets think it made it’s way aboard?” he asked quizzically. He wondered what scenarios theu would come up with. All them would probably be much more complicated and interesting than the truth.

Max leaned back in his chair and grinned, he was curious to see what the cadets would come up with. Part of their training was problem solving, and this was definitely a fun way to solve a problem.

He reached over and stabbed his fork into the sauerkraut. He took a bite as he watched to see who would guess next. “That is good.”
