“And so, the first taste.” Celyn says putting down a plate before you. Both John and Magnus stare at her every move, following the plates she’s holding with fervent gazes you had never witnessed before. “Here you go too.” She says with a smile as she finishes placing the plates for everyone.
The steaming steak before you is cooked to perfection with butter based sauce atop of it. Without much further ado, everyone digs into the first bite of freash meat you’ve had in years, and the first taste of fresh meat that both John and Magnus had ever tasted.
Utterly ignoring the baked potatoes, everyone around the table, bar Celyn devours a stake and then quickly grabs seconds.
Meat that is not dried, vacuum-sealed, dehydrated or salted to hell back, now that is something you’ve never realized how much you missed in the decade plus you spent eating mainly vegetables and fruits.
“How are you liking it ?” Celyn asks with a smile, the only person capable of maintaining a dignified expression during dinner. No doubt her training is what allows her to be so dignified.
“Ta-“ John begins, still chewing, only stopping after Celyn’s gaze falls upon him. He quickly swallows. “It is tasty, mom !”
“Tasty !” Magnus shouts out in agreement.
“It is delicious, dear.” You say, nodding. Though now that you’ve had a few bites, you had come to realize that it is over seared and the burning, irritating sensation in your throat informs you that she overdid the pepper. But, throughout your years of military service, you had developed a keen survival instinct.
“And for late night snack, I had prepared a freshly smoked flounder. The meat is lovely and tender, goes right off the bone.” For some reason, you feel something vaguely ominous about the end of her sentence.

Title: Food
The news of meat, fish and dairy products being made available after some construction work seemingly set off the entire colony into a frenzy I had rarely witnessed before. In but just short 3 months, a mass collection of fisheries and specially made barns.
The barns themselves are opened to the atmosphere and specially seeded with easily and rapidly growing plants that provided some basic day to day nutrition and the brand-new warehouses would house unneeded by-products of the farms to be given over to the cows.
The fisheries themselves house various sea life in specially made and filled with nutritional mixtures tanks, allowing for well developed growth. Though we had also put out many of the species into the lakes and rivers, the ecosystem there had formed rapidly as many of the animals had already been fully grown.
Might take some time off and go fishing with the boys one day.
Signing off, David Hardrada.</span>
