Menu idea for this case
My suggestion from the recipes in my videos – not part of the PDF, and every recipe is free.
Who's at the table
8 characters – everyone plays one. Tap a name for more, no spoilers.
Kim VargaHead of Supply and Galley
Kim keeps the supplies in order and turns freeze-dried rations into meals the crew talks about for days afterward. Tonight Kim has invited everyone to dinner in the mess.
Dario FerranteShuttle Pilot
Dario flies the shuttle between the station and orbit and considers himself the best pilot on Mars. In the storm he is stuck like everyone else, and bored out of his mind.
Dr. Yuki HartmannHead of Geology and Drilling Program
Yuki led the deepest drilling operation on Mars; the first drill core from 400 meters down is her pride and joy. Without her drilling program, the station would not exist.
Sanna KowalczykCommunications and Navigation Officer
Sanna is the voice of the station: every message from Earth crosses her desk. Since the antenna failed in the storm, she has been trying to get it working again.
Ezra MollBotany and Hydroponics
Ezra tends the greenhouse that grows every fresh tomato on the station and talks to the plants when no one is listening. Ezra is the youngest crew member.
Dr. Lena OkaforStation Physician
Lena patches up cuts, measures radiation doses and knows every crew member's medical file. She's the first one people call and the last to leave.
Tomás ReyesChief Engineer, Life Support and Power
Tomás keeps the air, water and power running and knows every pipe on the station by its first name. Since the storm he barely sleeps.
Viktor SandströmEnvoy of the Operating Company (Nereid Consortium)
Viktor has been on Ares for two weeks, sent by the consortium to assess whether the station is still worth it. He is polite, well dressed and asks a lot of questions.
