DAY 81 | 23:35
FROM: leng.kai@cdc.org
TO: erin@cdc.org; forbes.caroline@cdc.org; gallagher.fiona@cdc.org
Are you free on 84? My roommate will be making dinner. You can come over. We have about a kilo of chicken we need to get rid of before it spoils.

I'll be inviting some people over on 84 after Shepard's funeral service. Just Erin, Fiona, and Caroline. If you have anybody else you want to invite, go ahead. They can help get rid of all that chicken before it spoils. David - you can cook chicken, right?
[ It's not a party until someone dies! Shepard will be organising a funeral service for the recently deceased (OOC Plotting Post) on DAY86 84 YOU DIDN'T SEE ANY EDITS. As part of the main log, there will be an after-funeral party in room 010. There'll be orange chicken and booze (and probably other stuff). While it was (ICly) intended to be private, and only a few people are technically directly invited, this should spread through the grapevine fast - invitations by guests of guests of guests and people just showing up because they heard there was a party are highly encouraged! The more people show up (preferably donating food and/or drinks), the better. It'll be open to all! :D Please see here for details and plotting. ]

You could always just save the chicken for when we drop. We won't always have the rec area, you know.
no subject
You mean you don't know how to hunt for things to survive on?
[He's kidding. ... probably.]
FROM: leng.kai@cdc.org
Not sure I want to leave it lying around that long. Unless they don't have salmonella here, with the tech they have.
FROM: leng.kai@cdc.org
Don't like chicken?
1/2
The usefulness of being able to hunt is entirely limited to whether there's edible prey where we're going. I find it best not to assume, and I've always found food to keep well here.
FROM: sturmhond@cdc.org
Chicken's fine the way David cooks it.
2/2
Thank you for the heads up about the service, by the way.
no subject
I'll keep the next one. But if they send us to a planet without a reliable food source, I hope they didn't think a chicken was enough to survive the entire mission.
FROM: leng.kai@cdc.org
You are going, are you? I thought you were interested since your roommate is one of the casualties. Condolences, by the way.
no subject
Yes, I'm going. I'd go whether one of the deceased was my roommate or not, in all truth. I owe them that much.
[ He'd wanted to save them. Instead, more people have died. If remembrance is all he can do, then he'll do it. ]
no subject
That's very honourable of you. Did you know any of them?
no subject
Hei was my roommate. I talked weapons once or twice with Yulia. Isaac was a good friend of someone close to me.
[ That's of the dead. Of the rest... ]
FROM: sturmhond@cdc.org
Among the transfers, I knew many.
no subject
My condolences for your losses, then.
FROM: leng.kai@cdc.org
Did Hei ever mention which country he was from on Earth? I assume he was Chinese.
no subject
They're not my losses.
[ He accepts the need to grieve. He doesn't tend to indulge, though. ]
FROM: sturmhond@cdc.org
I'm not from Earth myself. His name always sounded vaguely Shu to me, as yours does. He may well have been. I never spoke to him about it.
no subject
FROM: leng.kai@cdc.org
You'll have to tell me about the countries you have in your world some day.
no subject
Having visited a great many of them, I'm the ideal man for that. Perhaps it will mean something to you. There are similarities between my world and Earth, from what I've seen.
no subject
Tell me about yours. Maybe I can tell you what it resembles in my world.
no subject
That sounds like a conversation best held in person, and not over the network. Don't you think?
no subject
That works for me. After the funerals.
no subject
After your party, you mean.
no subject
That seems like a lot of chicken even for five people.
no subject
Probably. I don't even know where it came from. Did they hand out gifts to everybody?
no subject
FROM: erin@cdc.org
Food, maybe. I got... I think they're oranges.
no subject
Oranges? Perfect. You willing to share a few?
FROM: leng.kai@cdc.org
Have you ever had Chen Pi Ji before?
[Here's hoping David can make that.]
no subject
You can have ONE.
[It'll be fine, it's huge. But she's keeping the other one.]
FROM erin@cdc.org
I've never heard of that, so no.
no subject
You'll like it. I'll see if Shepherd knows how to make it.
FROM: leng.kai@cdc.org
One isn't enough for that much chicken, though.
no subject
It's the size of my head.
no subject
What?
no subject
The orange. It's as big as my head. It'll be enough.
no subject
FROM: leng.kai@cdc.org
Alright. Thanks.
no subject
Food? I am totally there.
Can I bring a friend?
no subject
If you want to. We'll probably have enough for another person.

funeral service? damn i dont have enough pizza for all that shit
no subject
Thought you were interested since your roommate died. You're not going then?
no subject
no subject
Commander Shepard. If you talk to her, don't mention I'll be coming.
no subject
no subject
She knows me. We're from the same world.
no subject

The implication is that we're on opposite sides of a conflict in our world.
no subject
no subject
You're pretty nosy.
FROM: leng.kai@cdc.org
Her people consider my people terrorists. My people think her people aren't doing enough to protect our planet and people. That's the gist of it.
no subject
no subject
What? It's NOTHING like that.
no subject
no subject
Sounds good. We should have enough for that many.
FROM: leng.kai@cdc.org
Where did you learn to cook, by the way?
no subject
FROM: leng.kai@cdc.org
Your mother, really? Hard to imagine you like that.
[Because obviously in his world you only learn things in the field or in training. Excuse him.]
