Ensign Yinn: You say potato, I also say potato

[Mike Vago]

((Yinn’s Quarters, Deck 6, USS Octavia E. Butler))

There were a lot of human foods Yinn didn't really understand, and she had apparently hit on one that even humans found ridiculous.

Johnson: A raw potato!  That’s hilarious!

Yinn: I find a lot of your foods funny, so I'm glad I picked a good one!

Zarah nodded enthusiastically and leaned forward, her eyes twinkling in anticipation. 

Johnson: There’s also a couple of *really* stinky cheeses if we want to go with the smelly food idea - and since there are a bunch of humans on the ship, there are too many to point fingers at. 

Yinn: Honestly, if I got any variety of an animal's breast milk in solid form, I'd be pretty horrified. So file that away if you ever want to prank me. But we could certainly use that for the prank. Or potato. I think either one works.

Johnson: Sounds like we have a plan!  Once you get the code, let me know and we’ll work on phase 2!

Yinn straightened up and did a mock salute.

Yinn: Aye, sir!

((Zarah' Quarters, The Next Day))

Zarah came home to find Yinn sprawled across her couch, leafing through a PADD. As soon as she entered, the Bolian tossed the PADD aside and straightened up.

Yinn: ::mock serious voice:: It is done.

Johnson: response

Yinn: I got lucky. Wauhk needed a specific chain of amino acids, which occur naturally in a fruit that grows on Nelvana III. The fruit is normally served hot, so she had to change her preferences, and she did so very loudly.  

Johnson: response

Yinn: The wind was definitely blowing in our direction. This prank was clearly destined to happen.

Johnson: response
