Plan 06

[best_day_ever]

[Phineas is on the cafeteria deck and it looks like he's just gotten a sandwich. He seems to find it really interesting since he's just staring at it, so of course this catches Cambot's attention too. It looks like someone burned the bread. And the meat. And the lettuce. And somehow even the mustard.]

Is it just me or has everything been getting darker here the last couple days?

[Sam gasps! Clearly this is more important than all of the terrible doubles...]

That! Does not look safe to eat!

[best_day_ever]

You can say that again. I wonder what happened to it?

[youreallweirdos]

Likely an uncovered, moist place! You should throw that out.

[best_day_ever]

The food synthesizer hasn't malfunctioned like this in a long time, though. We should make sure it isn't broken.

[youreallweirdos]

Oh, yes! We should! Making sure that food-producing equipment is in proper working order is essential to having proper working food.

[best_day_ever]

Exactly! It'll help if I can find some blueprints of how it's supposed to look first.

[youreallweirdos]

Blueprints, I'm afraid I cannot help you with. Although perhaps the library on the ship has some.

[best_day_ever]

Good idea. There's gotta be something on the satellite that explains how everything works just in case of an emergency.

[punsofiron]

No kidding. Seems like the whole Satellite's gone nuts. Well...more than usual.

You doin' alright, kiddo?

[best_day_ever]

Oh yeah, I'm fine! It looks like it's the food synthesizer we need to worry about.

[punsofiron]

I think there's more than that going on right now. Gypsy can deal with that, at least.

Just be careful, okay?

[best_day_ever]

Still, if there's really that much going on it would probably help everybody if we do whatever we can.

All right!

[sailorlaughter]

...ewwwwwwww! Did that come out of the food machine thingy?

[best_day_ever]

Yeah, just now. [He lifts one of the pieces of bread to examine everything else again.] I'd say it's been in there too long but I don't think that's how the technology works up here.

[sailorlaughter]

I've never EVER seen it burn anything before...

Well, if you're still hungry, I could just make you something! I've got a TON of extra ingredients around, we don't even NEED the food thingy!

[best_day_ever]

Not to mention that burning something usually means there would be some level of dehydration as well. But it feels just like a normal sandwich.

That sounds great, thanks! Who knows how long this'll be out of order?

[sailorlaughter]

Okie-dokie-lokie! What can I do ya for?

[best_day_ever]

I did want a ham sandwich, but if you don't have all the ingredients for one something else would be all right, too.

[sailorlaughter]

Iiiii don't think there's any ham in the fridge...

[She really only stocks ingredients for things SHE likes to make, after all. Meat doesn't usually figure into it. But she goes to check anyway.] There's probably peanut butter though! Or daisies...do humans eat daisy sandwiches?

[sailorgenerous]

[That...doesn't look very appetizing. Rarity is eyeing that sandwich like it might be poisonous, and for all she knows it may well be.]

You might not want to eat that. If you're looking for a meal, why not ask someone to cook for you? I'm sure Pinkie Pie would be more than willing...though you might wind up with a cupcake instead of a sandwich, or possibly a cupcake sandwich, but at least it will be edible.

[best_day_ever]

Normally cupcakes aren't considered part of a standard meal, but if we really can't get any other food it's better than not having anything. A cupcake sandwich sounds interesting, though. Is it like an ice cream sandwich?

[forthescience]

I'm going to be making gingerbread, if you'd like something that doesn't look completely burnt. I enjoy people and cake.

[best_day_ever]

Cool, thanks! Those are two of the best things to enjoy, besides having fun.
