# Episode 105: The Cosmonaut's Garden

## Story

**Setting:** A depressurized greenhouse module on the International Space Station at 04:31 UTC, where 142 days of carefully tended dwarf wheat is turning gold under dying grow lights and the CO₂ scrubber just threw its third fault code this orbit.

### Scenario

NASA ground control has ordered the crew to seal and vent Greenhouse Module 2 after a microfracture in the outer hull started leaking atmosphere faster than the patch kit can fix. The wheat inside — the first crop to complete a full seed-to-harvest cycle in microgravity — is six hours from being ready to collect. Double wants to suit up in an EVA undergarment, duct-tape the fracture from inside, and hand-harvest the grain before the module loses pressure entirely. Bust wants to follow the abort protocol, seal the hatch, vent the module, and let 142 days of botany float into the void.

### Quotes

- **Double:** We didn't water this wheat for five months with a squeeze bottle to let it become space confetti. Duct tape holds this whole station together anyway!
- **Bust:** The fracture is widening at 0.3 millimeters per hour and you want to fight decompression in your long underwear with a roll of tape and a bread basket.

## Reactions

- **Double:** 0
- **Bust:** 0
