“Here, try one of these!”. Chief Maamau offered me a white blob about the size of a rockworm egg.

“What is it?”

“Food. It’s something I encountered on a planet we crashed on once. They call them Marsh Melons”

I took the blob. It was soft, like a voidbug pupa. I hate voidbugs. “Uhhh”

“They’re better toasted, stick it on this, then hold it near the drive plasma inspection port till it turns brown”

“Is that an OVIPOSITOR reamer?”

“Souvenir. Relax, I sterilized it.”

“Mmmn, that’s good. Got any more?”
