Physical or otherwise.

Taylor, Samwise, even Peter if you think he has any good ones.

sad Sam's gonna miss the whole port.

The bug thing. Not just the powers and how much she knows about them, both of which Tendi thinks are very very cool, but mostly how much she cares about them, while still allowing space for them to be as they are.

Like, not trying to keep them from engaging in natural behaviors like hunting and killing each other. It's a very science-minded perspective that Tendi hella respects

T: >,> (shuffles the bugs she runs like machines 24/7 under the carpet.(

lol

TO BE FAIR plenty of bugs run themselves like machines 24/7

Ants sleep for just over a minute at a time

Granted, a couple hundred times a day but

It's mostly spiders and hive insects she keeps an iron grip on. The spiders because they'll all kill each other, and the bees because she wants perfect pollination rather than by bee whims and because she can put 40 queens in a hive if she can keep them from going murderbee.

She's swiping all the drones she can find off this island for new stock too.

Yeah (Tendi might ask her to help her and Angeal get some honey - they're starting a mead project)

T has a mead project!

She can help! If Angeal's okay with it, it's technically his project because Tendi sees nothing wrong with inmates making alcohol in their rooms

T started back when the Barge was looking at serious shortages because she knows people with alcohol issues can die going cold-turkey, so she wanted to make sure there was always a stock on board.

But because she doesn't drink, hers has never gotten better than passable.

Yeah, Tendi's considering making sure she has a stockpile of real alcohol, or trying to reprogram her replicator to make something that's not synthehol

They shd talk about distilling.

yeeees I'll let you know if they decide to get T's help in their thread

T is protective of the honey on the ship, if they nab any of that.

No, Angeal has a lead on port honey that they're going for, so she might be interested because of drones

Tendi would 100% ask T before touching the Barge hives

Hopper1 likes T for her compassion. She surprised it (in a positive way, the second time)!
