Chapter 49 The Floran Colony 4 (1/2)
Lenny woke after 1 hour of napping.
He walked around the ship while admiring it until his started to feel hunger.
He began looking for John since it was his first time in the ship, he didn't know where was the kitchen.
He stopped walking after he saw that he was in front of a door that had a sign on top it that reads 'Crafting Room'.
Walking closer to the door, he was able to hear some sounds coming from inside the room.
[He is here...] Lenny thought. He walked even closer and soon the door automatically opened.
He entered the room and looked around. The room was filled with top notch apparatus and machines that he had never seen before. Suddently he started to smell the stench of blood.
He frowned and followed the smell.
After walking for a while, he soon saw John that had his back turned to him.
John was doing something in the table in front of him. He was so concentrated in his work that he didn't sensed Lenny approaching from behind.
The moment John felt a presence behind him, Lenny was already only 2 meters away.
”Oh, Lenny...” John turned around and saw that it was Lenny that was behind him.
”What the...” Lenny exclaimed in surprise when he was John turned around.
He wasn't surprised by the fact that John sensed him, but by the fact that John was wearing a apron, gloves, and was wielding a knife, that were all covered in crimson blood.
”...?” John confusedly looked at Lenny.
”What's up with all this... Blood” Lenny glanced at the table and saw it was filled with Batongs' carcass.
”Oh... This?” John looked at himself and realized what Lenny was talking about. ”I'm just cutting and processing the meat of the Batongs. Also, I'm taking the poison from their tongues and placing it on this bottles” John showed a few bottles filled with some kind of transparent liquid.
”Great...” Lenny glanced elsewhere. ”Where is the kitchen?”
”Hungry?”
”Starving.”
John lightly chuckled. ”Wait a few moments, I'll make something for us to eat.”
John placed the knife on the table, took out the bloodied apron and gloves, and left the Crafting Room. He entered the Captain's Quarter and went directly for the kitchen.
”Hmm...” John searched around and saw that almost everything he had was canned food and some dried vegetables. He frowned. [Looks like I'll need to make use of Batong meat...]
He took the meat out of his PIPS and placed it on a chopping board, then he took a new apron he found on one of the kitchen's cabinet.
With a kitchen knife on his hand, John got ready to start cutting the meat.
His hands were very fast as he separated the meat from the bones and also cut the meat in small pieces.
After he was done with the meat he started to slice some vegetables.
John took everything and started to cook a soup.
In just a few minutes he had finished cooking. He opened the lid of the pan and the delicious aroma of the food exploded out of the confined pot.
”Food...” Lenny appeared like a ghost behind John. His mouth was hanging open while a fine trail of sparkling saliva came out of his mouth.
”Hey!” John slapped Lenny's hand that was almost reaching for the pot. ”Go sit down on the table over there, the food is almost ready.”
