// After Lunch: 3

	I had apparently learned a great deal, during my lunch break.  Much more than I had dared to hope, as it turned out.

Not just what they enjoy for lunch, and in general, the dietary needs, but also how my friends were doing.  They had told me a few things about the ship we had encountered as well.  Now would be the time to pass on what I had heard.  I just had to make sure, none saw me as I transmitted my findings.

I figured, my room would be the best placed, since no Pony was expecting anything.  None had given me a reason to think anyone was on to me.  I'm just another guard to them.  I had pulled my questions off fairly well, but the looks of it.

Moving back to my room wasn't that hard, I wasn't on the list for any duty today, but I was still expected to have my lunch, since none protested.

Once in my room, I activated my communicator, hearing the regular chime, as it promptly activated, just as it should.

“I just heard Engineer Gleaming Engines were greeted on the Harmony.  Furthermore, I just enjoyed my lunch, a salad, with a Cup-Cake for dessert, I'd might add!” I spoke, as if I had been reading out my personal log, or writing a diary entry.

Of course, I don't know if a guard of my rank would commonly make log entries, or if I'm supposed not to make any entries at all.  Though I guess I could have a diary, and just reading out aloud, what I wrote, and explain it away as a bad habit of speaking out, what I'm writing?  Then it hit me, I can't speak while writing, so I would have to change that cover story, if anyone actually mentioned this.

Maybe I could ask around, but it isn't something that would pass unnoticed, and ponies would start to  suspect I'm not quite who I was trying to pass for.  I couldn't have that.

I had noticed the cook, she has a horn in her forehead, I think the worked is 'Unicorn', even if it was merely legends and fables, back home.  Yet, I could clearly see the effects of what was said.  It isn't the tradition of what a Unicorn was said to be, but she does posse 'Magic', and it may be explaining quite a few things we had been baffled about.
