“I have one program I’ve come back to over the years. It’s of a beach on the other side of the Golden Gate bridge in San Fran. Muir Beach. I discovered it when I was at the Academy. Makes me feel at ease. And heights I can do,” Faye said with a grin. “Don’t have fears like that, so all good there.”

Kaia’s grin widened, then she calmed down. “I’d love to show you my program if you’ll show me yours,” she decided, leaning back on her hocks.

“It’s a deal,” Faye said. “Just let me know when you’re free next and we’ll get together.” Faye brushed the dirt off her hands. “And there’s still a few beds free if you want to claim one for yourself and grow stuff. There’s a couple people looking to share a bed as well. Options,” she said, a genuine smile on her face.

Kaia nodded and thought about it for a while. “You know, I’ve always wanted some freshly grown Pad’thesh. The stuff the replicator makes always has a far too uniform consistency. I’ll see if I can get some seeds on the next shipment from the Alpha Quadrant,” she said. “Maybe some Ja’nen beans too… wait, those grow on trees. Maybe not.”

Faye pondered, her gaze shifting to the side and she then looked up and over the beds. “Depending on the beans, we have lots of trees here. We can probably find one suitable to grow something up. I don’t know what Pad’thesh is but unless there are unusual growing requirements, we should be able to accommodate it as well. We have the greenhouse where we can start seeds as well.”

“I should clarify - the Ja’nen is a tree. I think the cocoa bean on Earth is a comparable plant. Big tree, needs lots of heat and humidity,” Kaia explained with a small giggle. For some reason she always forgot aliens didn’t have the context she did. Luckily she’d done a lot of traveling around Earth during the summers while she was at the Academy, and tropical South America was her favorite location. So many beautiful trees and animals in those rainforests. “And Pad’thesh is a hardy melon that can grow just about anywhere. It fixes nitrogen in the soil too, so it’s great for crop rotation. It’s so juicy and savory, I’d be glad to share some with you. Might have to cook it a little to make it palatable to your human tastebuds,” she considered it.
