[SCENE START]

SETTING: A messy apartment. Red lights flash outside the window. Distant sirens blare.

MARA: Kai! The evacuation shuttle leaves in six minutes. Why are you sitting down?

KAI: I’m downloading the "How to Farm" offline database. It’s at 88%.

MARA: We are being invaded by literal lizard-men from Andromeda. Forget the carrots!

KAI: You say that now, but when we’re on the moon colony eating synthesized protein paste, you’re going to wish I had the recipe for sourdough.

KAI: I’ve tethered to the neighbor’s emergency beacon. 92%... 93%...

MARA: You’re using a military distress signal to download baking tips?

KAI: And "The Office" Season 4. For morale.

(A giant green scaly hand slams against the window.)

KAI: 99%... Done! Okay, let’s go. But I’m carrying the tablet, you carry the laser-axe.
