PART 3the prepping of the space ship continues, while a few of the crew members are taking a break from working. Sev sits in a beige Eames chair and reads a book by Michel Houellebecq. The crisp sound of turning pages and the concentrated look on Sev's face makes Goodrum look at him in awe.
Soon after, a NASA engineer goes into the space ship to give the whole crew an important lecture about space and its scientific characteristics. He starts talking about black holes, and how, once a black hole has formed, it can continue to grow by absorbing additional matter. Any black hole will continually absorb gas and interstellar dust from its surroundings and omnipresent cosmic background radiation. The engineer then asks if they can comprehend how a hole can absorb that much mass. The whole crew sits still while thinking. Tbombz is the first to raise his hand, and he tells the engineer that he thinks he understands. Goodrum giggles a little.
The engineer finishes his lecture, and it is time for dinner. Sev and Basile can't really agree on a menu, but they decide that Sev will choose the menu if there will be served plentiful amounts of red wine. While Sev ponders what to cook for dinner, Primemuscle walks up to him and says:
Cock on your mind?
Sev looks delighted and says, that it would actually be nice to cook Coq au vin; the French dish with chicken braised with wine, lardons, mushrooms, and optionally garlic. They all work together and get started on cooking the dinner.
