Kit was in the ship’s galley using her Orion firepot to make her version of Irinari Drunken Insects. She had already added the mixture of Orion ale, Orion rum, and Orion whiskey and had it in a low simmer she had also added the Irinari insects and was now adding Orion wing-slugs to the broth. She had in some earbuds and was listening to an Old-Time Radio show called the Whistler.

Jackson happened to be strolling by on his way to grab some grub when his nostrils began to flare. Turning toward the direction of the scent, he shuffled over and peaked over Kit’s shoulder. Might that be… actual grubs? he thought, something between a smile and a grimace laying itself onto his face.

Not terribly loudly, Pryce said “What’s this, then?”

Kit had her ear buds in listening to the Old-Time Radio show Whistler and was therefore startled by Ensign Pryce and his question. She turned and removed the earbuds, blushing a little. “I am making my version of Irinari Drunken Insects. Would you care to try some?” she asked. “I assure you it is perfectly safe for you to eat.” As she said that she pulled out a squirming Irinari blade hopper and placed it in her mouth.

“Can’t say I’ve had the pleasure. Please.” He extended a hand to take whatever Kit gave him to eat. Interesting, he thought. A cultural preference, eating them live. No clear moral dilemma. Will have to know her further.

“You part of the new crew complement?” he questioned.

Kit got a bowl and poured some Irinari Drunken Insect mixture into it. “You can say that I work in the science department, I am kind of the ship’s resident expert Cryptozoologist, Hominologist, Entomologist, Arachnologist, and Ecologist. Careful now a couple of those insects, even drunk, tend to bite back. It does add to the flavor and excitement of eating them though.”
