Rutendo’s grimy fingers pried hard against the plastic seams that trapped the mechanical innards of the burned-out food synth. Whoever made these stupid things never meant for them to be repaired or adjusted, he cursed. After a solid twist, and the weight of his good knee applied to the top panel, Rutendo successfully retrieved the prize concealed inside. A full charge pod! Good for at least a month, he thought, if they were careful. He had a good number in hand now. Now all he needed was a food synth unit that had more than three working menu options. But that desire was a vanity. Food and water were a problem solved right now. Much heavier concerns showed no promise of resolution.
