[Snip]Bowman set the water from his left hand onto the table in front of Starr, and then came around the table to return to his own seat. “Well, sir, I missed part of the conversation, but if I recall you said it was a care package, correct?” Rhese eyed the insulated bag suspiciously, as if trying to figure out what kind of material it was made with. Deciding that it looked like it was designed to keep foods hot and fresh for a matter of hours, Rhese guessed: “Probably just had the food sent via shuttle craft or some other courier to the Challenger care of the station.” Bowman remembered how his own mother had often prepared various hot foods for his father’s hunting trips.

“Sounds simple enough. You know, they do say the simple solution tends to be the most plausible,” Max said spearing a potato with his fork. Taking a bite he was quite pleasantly surprised. “You know, I will have to talk to the Captain about getting some more real food stuff brought onto the ship.”
Cmdr. Harkness - XO
Catt smiled she was at least in part correct so far. That was pleasing. She had a theory as to how it was possible to get hot home made food made by the councilors mothers own hand out here near the Klingon and Romulan borders. But it would be impolite to render another guesd before all of the others had tried. So she instead turned to face the XO.
“I have as my baggage sir brought seeds and soil for the continuation of my research if that was permitted. While half the soil is contaminated the soil for the control group is perfectly viable for a small vegtable garden. I also have a small hydroponics setup I intended to use as a further platform for both control and testing. Between them I may be able to provide some relief from routine replicated dietary substances. Asking for permission to bring that aboard was part of my intention at my meeting with Lietenant T’Kam tomorrow. But as you are both here and the requrst would need to be relayed to You anyways sir. It seems logi al to catcj two flyiers with one cast rock. Thougj why cadting tocks at flyers is used for such situations escapes me.”Cadet Catt Bennet. Sciences. USS Challenger.
Starr had to admit he was intrigued by the idea that Catt had. It reminded him of his days back in England on the farm with his parents. “To be fair, I’m not the scientist here” he said with a chuckle. “Though I have to admit, I do have a soft spot for vegetables, and well, these ones are delicous, and they’re on par with the ones my family grow on the family farm,” he said as he tucked into a carrot on his plate from the counselor’s banquet.
Simon smiled at the caitain’s expression “We actually have a similar expression on earth. Two birds with one stone, though again, where that comes from I have no idea,” he said with a slight chuckle. “Well, not officially at least,” he continued “there are a few theories, however.”
Cadet Simon Starr, Security
Catt swiveled an ear to face Cadet Starr. Her head turned to look at the security officer as was polite in human culture.
“My experiance of Galactic standards earth idioms is limited. Thank you for correcting my usage. My first language Caitan uses body language heavily. And my second language uses tonal variances to modify meanings. So Galactic Standard can often be confusing in it’s monotones. Also unlike most Caitans. I have a bad ear for linguistics.
