The trouble is, Wash hasn't had to cook for himself since he was eighteen and he joined the military. And before that there hadn't been a whole lot of cooking himself either. Oh, he can heat MREs, but that is about the extent of his culinary skills, which means frequent trips to the mess here. The dining room. Because he is not fucking subsisting on MREs while he is here and there is real food.

Which is why he's noticed these symbols appearing around the place. Sloppily drawn on the walls, pinned up. Reminds him of the Insurrectionist bases.

And then there's this guy Wash spots on his way down to get food. Wash spoke to him on the network, he knows that. But there's that muttered curse, the furtive look. "If you're trying to hide those things, you've got your work cut out for you."
