How To Get By In A Hostile World, Thursday

"Today, I want you all to take five bucks and use it to buy enough food to last you three days," Atton said.

They were sitting in a normal classroom. He had a stack of five dollar notes sitting in front of him.

"Bring it back here, we'll check it out, that's it."

Beat.

"Go."

Go Shopping

No, seriously. Go shopping anywhere. Five bucks, three days worth of food. Go go go.

Skel would have been an obvious choice if it had been available here. Instead Breq returned with a box of rice and some kind of very cheap cheese. It wouldn't taste good, but it would keep her alive, and she was an ancillary. Good food wasn't wasted on ancillaries.
