She had wandered out of the docking bay questioning herself, and so of course she threw herself into her work, approving the new AutoServ receipies she had been testing and pushing them to the crew-facing menu.  Not only were there new choices, but the choices should be at least palatable compared to the "styrofoam and sludge" taste of the previous chef's recipes. It wasn't so much his recipes as opposed to the shoddy so-called food components he used.  This way at least the crew could grab a quick bite any time of day and get good nutrition and a littl satisfaction as well.  She had added a square of  chocolate on the side to each of the recipies too.  Everything is better with chocolate.<br/><br/>Now on the bridge, she listened and her heart sank.  This, this was something that chocolate was not going to help very much. Her normally inscrutable face was obviously dismayed, her eyes wide, she looked like she might cry.  She looked around at her shipmates.  Elaine was agressive as usual, her hand on her gun.  Thomris looked humiliated and defeated, and so vulnerable, Jin wanted to reach out to her.  Donovan seemed philosophical but firm.  She liked him like that, she noted, even if he was doing something that Jin could not really support.  The doc, she looked sad like Jin, but confused as well.  And she  had a suitcase?  Was she going somewhere , too? Not to mention , there was something not right about her, she seemed off her game, but Jin didn't know her well enough to say for sure.<br/><br/>Meanwhile the captain, she looked grim and yet far too sure of this course.  It did not compute.<br/><br/>"Captain?"   She said "I.. look, ok fine she owes money, and we absolutely have to get Mateo back.  I get that, but i have also been in Riz's shoes.  I have owed some rather.. unscrupulous folks that i had gotten into business with"  Jin's cheeks flushed, she had almost had the senseback then that  they were not only trying to steal from her but to drive her into debt slavery.    "But I know not  everyone has a ... unique family background like me to take care of things like that"<br/><br/>She bit her lip.  "This doesn't make sense...  this crew is your family, its their  family.  I .. I just have to believe you have something else  in mind.  I will trust you Captain, but im praying you have something up your sleeve.  I can't believe you give up this easily.  "   Her words came out more like a plea than a statement of fact or even belief.  At that, Jin reached out and touched  Riz's shoulder comfortingly  and then she stepped back "I.. I am sorry   i shouldn't have said anything"  She  wanted to leave and be anywhere but there now.
