“Thanks, its polite to ask.” Ren said and got up briefly finding a glass and pouring herself a glass of the whisky. It did not smell bad, and looked a decent colour. It would be worse to drink in the apocalypse by far. “Cheers.” She raised a glass and took a sip, the strong taste was almost welcome as it made her feel something real,  grounded her and helped anchor what was reality and what was her own head turning fears, terrors and trauma into something she could not escape. 

“The working overalls are a lot less cute than the stuff they wore on the tv shows. I could rock a mini dress with boots." Ren said, finding humour even in the current situation they found themselves in till she turned more serious. Ren was brought up in a slightly strange family that was more traditional, a mix of conservative and not, it was very hard to explain. Shame about the minidress thing.  Nope. None.

“Sol…” Ren said with a pause and took a drink to cover her brain trying to make sense of things. “Oh, Velia. Eden, the…others. Even if bugs vanish tomorrow. The biosphere, radiation, the artificial weather events… we cannot return for maybe centuries. Maybe my great grandchildren might…but not us.” She said softly and tried to be as gentle as possible, the Kieller xeno biologist being a little sharp edged and trying to actively not be so. 

Ren knew her flaws, knew how people saw her. She had to try to be better. She almost reached out to pat Velia hand but awkwardly stopped. Rens social functions were still…damaged and healing would take time. 

“Even If Sol is a myth, it's a direction, we are doing something. And it beats hanging about a bug planet. If we find a good quiet system on our way, well.. we can name it Nova Sol.” Ren said and agreed fully, was there a risk, sure, where they were doomed if they stayed, likely. Might as well try and see where they could find and build a future. “I.. At this stage, if you say we are going to Sol, who is the plant nerd to tell you otherwise.” The giggle was infectious and Ren felt a tiny bit lighter. 

“now all i need to find is a pool, it really helps me ….relax. il let you know.” She said hopefully, some physical exercise would help and Ren felt like fitness would not be bad to work on.
