[Tim made the unfortunate decision not bother with sleep; instead, he's been looking around ever inch of the ship, and that put him at ground zero. And it's a long way back up to the mess hall. He sounds agitated. Really, really agitated.]

Why the hell don't we have any more real food?

There is no longer food? [He doesn't understand what Tim means by "real" in this case]

[peektuttut]

Just freaking peas now! I'm starving, I want something solid.

[empirical_data]

You did previously mention that there might be hot dogs somewhere. [That's unsettling, even for an android.]

[peektuttut]

I can't find the freaking bowling alley. [Tim's politeness is suffering. Stomach takes precedence. :c]

[arnold_j_rimmer]

The same reasons as before I presume. [My, Tim certainly seems angry.] If you're worried about the ship, however, I'm rationalizing you make it through somehow just so those logs can go to the beginning of the time loop. [If he tells himself enough, it's completely and totally true.]

[peektuttut]

[So very angry.] I don't care about the ship. I mean, I do - God, I'd kill for a burger.

[arnold_j_rimmer]

It seems to me that's a very disproportionate amount of anger related to food when one might be consumed by fusion. I know that would be what I was preoccupied with.

[peektuttut]

So what, I'm supposed to starve until we all blow up?

[callmecrichton]

Dunno. I've been looking. I found a half-shriveled raisin and a Cheerio under one of the couches, but that's it.

So damn hungry ...

[peektuttut]

There are peas. I can't find any meat or chicken or anything, though. [And he will not be sharing if h finds anything. :|]

[callmecrichton]

Peas? Peas are what food eats. Next planetfall, I'm bringing a flock of chickens onboard, and no one is gonna stop me.

[peektuttut]

Let's put cows in the shuttle bay. We have a grill, right?

[onethatranaway]

Well, there's always leather. Boil it, and it's not bad. Quite filling, actually.

[peektuttut]

...Probably as close to a burger as we've got.

I think there's still salt and pepper in the mess. Got any leather?

[onethatranaway]

Oh, get your own leather. [Yes, he's being a little testy.] Boots, watchbands, belts, wallets, purses - I'm sure there are some lying around the ship for you to eat.

Just be careful and try not to chew on any electrical wires.

[peektuttut]

I'm hungry, not an idiot. [But he's wondering how tasty his shoes might be. :|]
