No, I get it. It's been crazy over here, too. So, you know, no pressure.

Are you a science fiction guy too, then, or do you prefer other books?

[protective_logic]

[Wait, is this just about small talk?]

I love sci-fi above all else, but I will read just about anything.

[searchandrecovery]

Oh man, me too!

[ Now he's getting excited. ]

Did you ever read Expedition to Earth? It's short stories, not a novel, but they're all really good.

[protective_logic]

No I haven't but... Yes, it's here on the reader I got for my birthday. Is there one you think I should suggest for the bookclub for a shorter meeting?

[searchandrecovery]

They're all fantastic, but I'd probably reccommend The Sentinel. I don't want to give too much away, but let's just say it's got a really interesting premise.

[protective_logic]

I'll look it up. Thank you.

[searchandrecovery]

Awesome! I'm excited to see what you think of it.

[protective_logic]

Hey... you know Maine well, right?

[searchandrecovery]

Yeah, we work together. He's great.

Why?

[protective_logic]

What does he like?

[searchandrecovery]

Oh man, a lot of things, really. Homemade bread. Citrus and vanilla-smelling things. But not like, both at the same time. Cats, although I think that's a secret. You.

[protective_logic]

I... knew the last one. I wasn't aware you did... Homemade bread?

How does one make bread at home that isn't cornbread?

[searchandrecovery]

Wasn't that hard to figure out from book club.

Flour and yeast and a few other ingredients. And time, patience, and an oven. I can show you, if you want. I'm not an expert by any means but it's definitely passable.

[protective_logic]

I... I can't really afford to spend too much time at the base.

[searchandrecovery]

That's fine! If you're comfortable with it,I can come to you. Or I can just send the recipe to you, whichever works best.

[protective_logic]

T-the recipe.

Let me know if you've got any questions. It's pretty straightforward, key is to be quiet while it rises. Don't go around banging on things or slamming doors, and try to keep the little ones from doing that too, if you can. Bribe them with fresh bread. It's amazing, it really is.

[protective_logic]

I don't k now that a lack of loud noises is really possible at home.

...

What makes you think there are little ones here?

[searchandrecovery]

Sigma's mentioned them in conversation. Rumor has it they're pretty cute.

It doesn't have to be dead silence, just try to avoid really loud banging if you can.

[protective_logic]

[Oh. Panic attack avoided.]

You've never been around small children.

[searchandrecovery]

Not too much. I had two siblings, but I was the youngest, so I got to be the small child.

[protective_logic]

Well, quiet isn't exactly going to happen much.

[searchandrecovery]

Oh, yeah, I get it. Good luck on your bread-making adventure though! I'm sure Maine'll love it.

Plus, when you've mastered regular bread, you can try banana bread.

[protective_logic]

Banana bread? Oh god I love that.

[searchandrecovery]

Isn't it amazing? Waiting for the bananas to get ripe enough is really hard on one's patience, sometimes, but the results are so worth it.
