A farm near my grandparents' place had horses, when I was a kid. My cousins and I would feed them apples over the fence sometimes. Never thought I'd end up somewhere that riding them would actually be a viable means of transportation.

And that's some damn' good news on the medicine front. I have a few units of medi-gel, but I'm keeping those back for when it's really down to the wire.

[There's a slight vein of guilt behind the admission, even if it's paired with enough surety to suggest he's going with tactics on this one.]

Maybe the ship will decant a medical researcher or a molecular biologist next.
