Yeah, I'm pretty sure i can get there by myself!! Thanks for showing me around, I'm looking forward to seeing you tomorrow! I'll bring you noodles after lunch, okay?

*he smiles at Mogens, opening his arms for a good-bye hug*

We don't have to hug tho, if you don't want to

*Finnegan can see someone approaching in the distance, even tho they look pretty lost, they're still.. magically finding their way to him. And after finally turning their head the right way, you can see that it's Dash! Wow, he actually did find him! He waves at Finnegan, before walking in his direction*

Hey! Sorry, got a little lost on my way. Were you waiting for a long time? I hope not...

Finnegan perks up and gently closes his book as Dash makes his way over. He stands up slowly and brushes off his coat, directing his attention to the watchdog before him.

The lab was not so interesting, mostly empty and filled with large books and novelty items. Not to mention, rather dim. There was a massive telescope, but the dust covering it seemed to convey the amount of use that it got. There was a long projection on the side of the room with the door, and the intergalactic matrix was displayed there, along with a small terminal—seemingly connected to the projector, on the desk. It didn't seem like his department got much funding.

"It was not so long. Do not worry," Finnegan murmurs softly, his voice not changing in tone. It was like every word he said hung on the exact same note. He then reaches into his pocket and pulls out a small piece of candy, holding it out to Dash. "See."

*he looked over at Mogens, finally stopping with his mumbling to give him a smile in response*

It's a really cool middle name! I've never met anyone with the same one..

*he thinks a little about the day tomorrow. He really needs some sleep, huh... He sure hopes that he'll be able to fall asleep in a giant room with so many people. He should pray to the gods that he can. But even if he can't, nothing that a triple espresso can't fix, right?*

Yeah, i should at least try... You gonna go rest too? You seem pretty tired

Of course!! I wouldn't want you to eat nothing all day... Or eat some bad noodles! You deserve good noodles pal

*he smiles at him, once again seemingly excited about food. He snaps out of that excitement, listening to Finnegan....*

*his pupil dilates, pretty visibly actually, as he processes the information... He never had permission to call someone by their nickname!!! Another new thing!!! And he fucking loves that!!!*

Mogens...... That's such a cool nickname.... Mogens mogens mogens...

*he keeps quietly mumbling it to himself... Seems like he really likes it*

Commander liked my bread reblog... Should i try baking bread?

[dash-the-watchdog-cook]

A room dedicated to kissing people.... Lord Hater definitely has some funny ideas huh. I hope at least some of the funding goes to the kitchen, I won't be able to work on a broken stove..

*he looks around, following Finnegan's gestures and trying his best to remember where all the rooms are. He really hopes he won't get embarrassingly lost the next day... Oh the next day will be fun. His first shift feeding an army. He has to review the menu tomorrow, see what they have, see how the watchdogs here work... Gods the thoughts about all that work tomorrow are scary. But also exciting. He hopes everything will go smoothly*

Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. Sleeping in your lab is probably more comfortable than sleeping with hundreds of watchdogs, huh... Oh, almost forgot, I'll bring you some noodles tomorrow! I think i can sneak some out, if I can't just... You know, take them

You can hear this bread. One second I'll show you. Please listen to my bread

This is a loaf of asiago chunk sourdough. Inside there are chunks of asiago. The dough was mixed with mashed garlic as well. The sound in the video is the cheese bubbling in the interior, echoing in the air pockets of the loaf. I'm going to eat the shit out of this for breakfast tomorrow.

This is the world's easiest sourdough loaf too, with only 6 hours total rising/proofing time!

Ingredients:

455g white bread flour

1 tsp sea salt

285g warm water

100g active, bubbly starter

120g Asiago cheese

(optional) crushed garlic to taste (I use about 2 cloves worth and it's a lot)

Asiago chunk sourdough bread

Cut asiago into smallish chunks

Combine flour and salt in one bowl

Combine starter and water in another bowl, stir until starter is dissolved.

Mix flour into the wet mixture until a dough begins to form. Knead on a well-floured surface until dough is smooth.

Mix in cheese (and garlic) until well incorporated

Dust rising bowl (solid! Not a basket!) with flour. Let dough rise 1 hour in warm spot, covered with plastic wrap

Fold over around the edges, place back in bowl seal-side down for 1 more hour

Repeat folding over around the edges, place back in bowl seal-side down for 1 more hour (3 total rising hours to here)

Shape dough into round if not, and place into proofing basket for 3 hours. Toward the end of this, preheat oven to 450F, with the cast iron pot so it's HOT when you add the dough.

Dump your dough onto your kneading board, fold over around the edges one more time, slice the top DEEPLY.

Bake 30 minutes seam-side down in covered cast iron pot at 450F. Remove lid, bake for another 30-40 minutes with lid off. (Cook time may vary on location and oven... MY OVEN takes this long. I just baked a loaf at a friend's that baked WAY differently, it was done in about 40 minutes total)

Remove and let cool completely before slicing. You can freeze it but slice it first.

I give the new head chef a week.

[dash-the-watchdog-cook]

Huh... I hope whoever's yelling is okay. Or whoever is being yelled at. Anyways, if you don't wanna bother him, do you have anywhere else we can go?

*he doesn't seem... Too disturbed by the yelling, dedicating most of his attention to Finnegan. You know, yelling wasn't exactly unusual is his previous workplace, so he just assumed someone is being berated by their boss. Nothing new.*

Soo... Do you have something else you like on this ship? Besides your lab and the library
