Yeah. I use them to do the small labor in there, there's two or three hundred. Put them in something with a lid and a double-handful of the darkling beetles, they'll be good for a few weeks.
The mealworms can eat anything. Kitchen scraps, spare cloth, styrofoam, literally anything they can chew up. The darklings, those are the adults, they don't need to eat. Just let them die, I don't need them.
The lemon ants need carbs. I give them honey from the hives, mostly, and green prunings out of the garden. I have like 40 queens in one container, so if I go down they'll slaughter each other, but let it happen. One group will win and they'll go on fine.
I have moth and spider breedings in there too, but don't bother with them. Replaceable.
More in my cabin, 116. I keep a little breeding population of everything I have in there. My notes about what everything eats are in my notebook - if it's not on me when I drop, it'll be either in my room in 412, in the greenhouse shed, or on my desk in 116. Don't open the tank of gu in there - those are the ones I can't get socialized. Let- let them worry about themselves, it's not worth anyone getting bit to keep them alive. The rest of the gu are usually in the greenhouse or 412. I have six in the time-out tank, 41 more loose around the ship including Jane and Jaws, and two I've given to Hunter and Jon. Round up any you come across, especially the little ones.
Kill the loose wasps and hornets. Fire extinguishers work well. There's a large paper hive behind the vent outside my cabin. Leave the bees alone, and the big spiders in the greenhouse. Any butterfly chrysalises you find around, I'd appreciate if you stuck them in my fridge. There's a box in there for them, it's labelled.
Yeah. [He's giving her a deeply concerned look, but he's not pushing. They both know it's a huge deal, and making her talk about her feelings when they can't take any action that'll stop it from happening is... well, pretty useless.]

[He half grins, rummaging for a notepad, and then holds it up so the communicator camera can pick it up.]
Give me your care instructions and I'll make sure your bugs stay healthy until you're back on your feet. If anything happens.

I... think that's the important bits.

All right. Is it okay if I share this with Shen Wei and Shen Jiye? I think I might need more than one person on some of these tasks.

[He blinks at her.]
Well. Okay then. If they do, that'll save us a lot of having to deal with anything other than feeding your pets.

I'll see if I can share with them what I do... I do a lot out of muscle memory these days.

That sounds like a good plan to me. Assuming not everybody's powers get deactivated at the same time.

Suppose I should get a medic alert bracelet. Help, my senses have shut down and I can't get up.
