My family are miners. I won't lie, I left New Sydney the moment I had the chance, but I'm not afraid of hard work. I might be able to help figure something out with irrigation, but it wouldn't be much more than educated guess. Tobin's the only one who ever actually tried to garden, and it kind of went. Well. Bad. Very bad. I've actually had nightmares.

[If a couple of days to settle in to Luceti was supposed to help ground her, Ezri missed the memo.]

Uh, anyway. Is there any kind of equipment? Tobin was a decent engineer, so if it's not too complicated, I can probably get it running.

Maybe.

Anyway, I guess I kind of owe you after walking me back to the village, so. Uh, yeah. That. Heh. Or maybe put me in charge of weeds. I can kill plants just fine. Well, Tobin could. Um, well, not in charge, but. Surely, I can help. Food's pretty important, right? Of course it it, we don't have replicators here, so if they stop sending it, we'd be in trouble. That's right, isn't it? How many people do we have to feed? Has anyone done anything like a census? I don't know how many people this area could actually support, but I'm not actually a farmer, either. I mean, I remember some bills Lela dealt with that were pretty important, but that was centuries ago. And let's be honest, Curzon always had at least a dozen reports of this kind of thing he could look at when he needed to. Never really got a feel for the smaller end of things, it was always avert war here and end famine there. Other people took care of the details.

Jadzia studied all manner of lifeforms, but she really knew more about biology, and certainly not all that much about...

[She pauses, as though realizing she may have said more than necessary.]

I mean, when do you need the help?
