Hydroponics is the Chief's favorite part of the ship. This isn't because of any special function it serves, but because it's usually quiet and mostly empty. He can get away from the rest of the crew in here, for a little while. It's space to think.

He has a lot of thinking to do.

He has no particular set goal in mind, just pacing some of the usual paths. However, something seems to be following him. A whiteish bug of some kind roughly the size of a german shepherd. It scuttles along behind the Spartan as he goes, and he seems to be ignoring it.

Has he even noticed it? It's impossible to tell.

"I know," Sherry replied, having thoroughly learned her lesson the last time she tried forcing others to fly. "Luckily, Vega doesn't have wings, so he doesn't need to worry." Ah, child logic. Infallible.

Sherry's eyes fell towards the bug again and she shuddered before looking back at Chief. Dr. Sera was probably going to tease her if these things ever came up in biology class. She just knew it.

"Luckily."

Satisfied that Sherry has been chastised enough, he lets it drop.

"I don't think it could eat you if it wanted to," he offers. "It's some kind of giant pillbug."

It's actually nibbling at some grass stalks right now docilely. It's still a giant, freakish bug though.

"...I just... I really hate bugs." Where was her dad when she needed him.

Oh, right. Being captain. Sherry rubbed her arms briskly to banish the goosebumps that had formed there. "At home? There were big, terrible roaches in the vents I hid in, and..." Well, does she really need to say more?

"About this long?"

He makes a pretty precisely roach-sized gap with his fingers.

Sherry shook her head vehemently, "No, no." She made a rather disturbing wide gap with her hands, about a foot and a half long. "Huge." If there was one thing a person could say about the Redfield-Kennedy child, she was not prone to exaggeration.

"You're not the only one who's had to vent crawl," he says, though not without a hint of amusement.

"You stay out of trouble, hmm?" He'll let her go. It'll be better for the kid's nerves if he leads the bug away, he figures. It doesn't really bother him, it's mostly just odd.

Sherry nodded and glanced at the bug again. "I will." Well, she'll try, how about that?
