Thank you for the information. When the miscellaneous thing Pen doesn't end up eating becomes part of the main plot of a post, I'll ask those questions. As far as my assumption there wasn't a lot of food on board... I believe, when Pen asked at the start of the RP, you're the one who pointed out fresh food wouldn't last long on a spaceship and shut down any idea of hydroponics without even asking our GMs if it were possible. That in mind, the fact that fresh food is scarce in most of the outer planets, and the amount of food cooked on New Melbourne and to Greenleaf, it seemed feasible the food supply would be low.
