Jack was sitting next to Captain Karl Mate and they were both talking quietly while and after the biologist explained the algae part of carbodioxyde - oxygen circulation. Jack had taken Karl Mate with him as he would be helpful in the hauling contracts and it was important to makes sure that those who would execute these hauling missions knew what they were doing and also why they were doing it.
"Algae? Source of food..." Jack snickered and whispered to his neighbours. "... hey, on Siloso they get Kyushu rice to the maximum... and on Falster... soon Synth Paste with CO2-O2-Waste-Algae slime... as food." and he can't help but give a wide smirk. "I swear, letting the science geeks run our dietary plans... was a bad idea! All healthy, all green... I bet it tastes like it looks!" and someone whispered: "Can't be worse than Synth Paste" and he had to smile. "... true."
Dr. Emily Lindner was watching the small group of "no algae on my plate please" and was shaking her head with some sort of dismay, however also with the knowledge that all those that did not understand the true benefits of this step in the CO2-O2 process were just scientifically illiterate. And so she ends this part with a smirk and a comment towards that group: "Hope you enjoy your meal afterwards. I heard the mensa serves an algae food sample today..."
