((due to a suggestion from a friend, in the future I’ll attempt to make the pictures less tall so the posts don’t become quite so long. Bear with me as I figure out a good format.))

Have you chatted with the Plant Monster lately?

Well, yes, actually. If you could call me protecting our limited supply of fertilizer from the pilfering menace ‘chatting’.

This is all I managed to get from the creature, but at least he didn’t get anything of mine.

And you know what they say, “When life gives you lemons-”

“-Put those lemons to good use.” -Pryce and Carter 439.

And these “cuttings” finally give me a use for these mugs we can’t drink out of. Stick them in a sponge and monster bits can liven up any room, as long as you incinerate them before they start to move on their own.

Minkowski out.

Those are gorgeous! But don’t you feel a bit nervous using something sentient as a hair ornament?

[askreneeminkowski]

I do see what you’re saying, but after the first few dozen “samples” failed to gain autonomy or visible signs of sentience until a few days after separation, I figured they were pretty harmless in that window of time.

Besides, moments and sources of cosmetic vanity are few and far between on this station. It just so happens that this has become one of mine.

Greetings from Red Dwarf Wolf 359

This is Renée Minkowski, Commanding Officer of the USS Hephaestus Station. After the previous... incident, shall we say, Command decided that this mission required a new ambassador to answer any questions coming from Earth. Feel free to send any questions you have about our mission my way, and I will do my best to answer them in a timely manner (if the station manages not to explode before I get to them, that is).

This is Commander Minkowski, signing off.
