06 - Hearty fish chowder; fresh bread and butter; char-grilled eels on rice; coffee

01: sustenance
With refugees in the Vault, the Milk Run as a business is less important than making sure the new ones, the strangers, are properly fed. Senshi and anyone capable who cares to help him have set themselves to this task, making sure there’s enough nice hot soup and bread for any starving miner or factory worker, now cut off from their old life, to at least not have to worry about their next meal.

Whenever possible Senshi takes a moment to make sure the new uns are settled in and have a warm bed, and does his best to make them feel welcome, but he knows with a crowd this size that’s not always possible. So many mouths, so little time. Still, he makes the new arrivals feel human whenever he can.

02: luxury
Senshi is going around with a survey, asking new and old what luxury foods and ingredients they most miss from the Empire and carefully noting down the answers in a notebook.

If asked why, he says, “Simple: next time I’m out shopping with the Milk Run, I’ll try to find some.”

He’s dead serious.

What flavors and treats do you miss most?

Oki does manage to catch him as he's making the rounds and gives him a smile at the question. "Oh, it's simple. Coffee. Coffee and milk - and I may see about the means to make the best use of these."

She looked at him with a smile and a slight tilt to her head.

"I operated a coffee shop once, and I may do so again - I remember just about all of the recipes, but the technology to make best use of them is a step for after I have the time and resources needed. Coffee is simple. Espresso is less so."

She broke into a sunny smile.

"The other supply worth looking into is chocolate, preferably the dark stuff."

Oki nodded, giving the Dwarf a rare smile. "Excellent, keep in touch - in future, there may be even more to this idea than just the ingredients."

She actually winked at Senshi, closing her dark left eye.

"But that is the secret to a great many things, isn't it?"
