“Don’t even go there.” Mathias couldn’t remember anymore who told him that during his first week as XO of Outpost 42, but it was advice he had followed. The Mess Hall provided a great service to all Starfleet personnel on the Outpost, at least in theory. Mass quantities of food were produced without expense to those who would eat it. But it had a reputation of being an awful place to get a meal. The staff produced food with actual ingredients, but those ingredients tended to be nearly expired or abandoned or otherwise unwanted items that were rejected from the nearby restaurants. There were also replicators, but rumor had it no matter what you got from them it tasted much worse than any other replicator on the station.

Perhaps it was because he was just thinking of some play where the king mingled with the commoners in the army on the eve of battle. Or maybe it was that he felt obligated to explore the few remaining places on Outpost 42 that he had yet to set foot in. Whatever the reason, Mathias found himself walking in. Immediately a strong odor hit him like an invisible wall. It wasn’t that it smelled awful. Well, it kind of did, but “funky” would be a better word to describe it. There were plenty of officers in the room, mostly ensigns or crewmen. Somehow there seemed to be an unusual percentage of unattractive people among them. A few shot stares his direction, which he returned with a couple of nods.

Mathias hopped in the back of the line. As he grabbed a bowl and got closer, the funky smell increased in intensity. There were too large pots full of what appeared to be soup. “Green or brown?” the young woman behind the counter asked him. “Green or brown what? What do you call this?” asked Mathias. Rather than answer she gave him shrug with a half smirk. “Brown I guess,” said Mathias. His bowl was filled and he took it to an open table where he sat down. He stared at the soup, wondering exactly why he thought it would actually be a good idea to come here.

Captain Mathias McGarrett, CO

OOC: Bump for anyone who wants to try the green or brown whatever it is. - Adam

OOC: Giving bumping one more try. ~Adam

“I recommend a half and half” A booming base bellowed from behind the Captain. The Bearded Commander and latest addition to the senior staff stood holding a bowl that was clearly holding at least the second serving of the… soup? He smiled widely and indicated at a chair opposite the McGarret “Mind If I join you, sir?” He asked in the friendliest tone he could muster.

SOO - Baldur
