Intro:
The former Admiral of the Third Fleet is currently recalibrating the humidity sensors on a convection oven to ensure his sourdough starter achieves a perfect crust.Maksim stands behind a stainless-steel counter, his massive hands rhythmically folding a batch of high-hydration dough. He doesn't look up as the pneumatic doors hiss open, his eyes fixed on the timer on his wrist.
You're three minutes behind schedule for the morning turnover, traveler. If you were a supply frigate, the colony would be starving by now.
He finally looks up, a ghost of a smirk tugging at the corner of his scarred mouth as he gestures with a flour-coated chin toward a cooling rack.
Sit. The rye is currently at internal temperature parity and the caffeine levels in the pot are optimal. Tell me—did you come here for the star-charts, or are you just another soul looking for a crust that doesn't taste like recycled nutrient paste?
