"Not sure yet. Lemme have a look around..." she poked into the broken door and looked inside. It was a strange looking place, filled with old technology and mundane boring activities, each having their own section. 'Old music collection' 'Gardening' 'Coin collections' 'Scrapbooking' 'Magical Illusions' 'Cookbooks'.

This looked like a hobbyist's store for people who didn't feel like watching feelies on any given day and turn to something else that required a bit more thinking...but not that much. As she headed to the gardening section, she noticed that most of the seeds appeared to be strange flower hybrids. Marigolds of every color (with clever names like maripurple or marisilver or marirainbow), the boxes proclaiming they were the fastest growing flower crops. Nestled in the middle, there was a single row of fruits and vegetables. Yet again, it seemed more as a hobby than an actual product food source, with strange colors and plants "Grow your own produce!" the sign proudly proclaimed. "A time-tested hobby that dates back since the dawn of time!"

Right. Hobby.

Purple tomatoes? Red Spinach? Purple sweet potato? Yellow cress? Fascinating, but apart from the color, not really stuff she was that much into...

But then! She spotted something amazing. Lash held up the packet, making sure her eyes weren't deceiving her. But no, it really excited.

Romanescu broccoli.

It was mathematics and eatable produce all in one! She didn't care how long these took to grow, she was taking the packet!

...actually you know what, she was taking all of the seeds. These things couldn't take much space, and she knew that seeds of any kind could be useful on the ship. As would this box of miracle grow products.
