[ Kurama probably doesn't deserve this. Ukoku probably doesn't either, but in a different way: he's having a great time right now, hogging the map and abusing their equipment to see if it'll scan things it wasn't meant to scan. Will they make it through this without irreparably destroying something (their reputations, prematurely, perhaps)? It is a mystery. ]

It can get tedious, but modifying the molds at the most fundamental level to suit my purposes--in this case to properly recreate the aging process of certain Earth cheeses, as well as to prepare new cheeses from different resources as we continue through space--is uniquely satisfying.

[He really likes playing god with plants and fungi, okay? And collecting seeds apparently, he's already got several more in the seed extractor just while he was talking.]

One of the molds we have in the early stages of development is intended to turn cheese naturally purple.

Really? Is that so you can trick people into thinking it's something else?

[ This might be a "what's the purpose of purple cheese" question, but it, too, sounds pretty straightforward.

He was just picking at his plant-scale-thing harmlessly, but now he's leaning back against the plant itself. He's probably just being thoughtless. A high priest would never resolve to engage in a campaign of being increasingly useless until he's scolded. ]

No, it's just to see if we can make edible purple cheese. [This is the same company that thinks novelty flavored mushrooms are a profitable idea, so it's not that big a leap.

Even Kurama's patience is getting a little frayed by this point, though, so when Ukoku just kicks back like there's nothing else to do, Kurama decides to offer up a helpful suggestion.]

If you want to be helpful, you can taste test one of the pieces you've already removed to see if it's as refreshing as our information suggests.
