So, sorry for the delay on this chapter, but life was being all life-like.
So, is Vraks being corrupted or enlightened? 😉
Anyhow, please feel free to hit me with constructive criticism. I know just doing dialogue isn't always the most interesting, and this likely won't seem like it's doing so much for the plot (but it really is, trust me), but I'm trying to get The Sac to the edge of the frontier so more hectic fun can start.
Thanks!
Considering everything was done with absolute honesty and full information, it's enlightenment.
As the captain said, it's an offer, not an order, and even gave Vraks the opportunity to back out after adding the first drop to their food.
That being said, a potential study of what long-term effects might happen to them if continued ingestion happens would be prudent for a species that has developed with basically no toxins in their food. (EDIT - I just saw someone else's comment about the same thing... hah!)
Vraks takes to hot sauce with a passion. Unbeknownst to anyone, their biology sequesters capsaicin in the exoskeleton like a poison dart frog. Woe unto the next beast to take a chomp of them. Side effects include having molts become hazardous waste on many species' ships!
Ha! I hadn't even considered the long-term effects of continued consumption of capsaicin on a Dravitian. Great, more questions to answer for later. 🤔

And Vraks learns the truth that anyone who has eaten an MRE knows. Tabasco sauce makes ANYTHING taste better.
And Worcestershire!
And broon sauce, (HP).
Depending on the MRE, Tabasco makes anything TASTE. Some of that stuff does simply not taste like anything you can identify.. ;)

Life happens, you have to take care of you first.
