Here, you're probably thirsty, too. We'll get some carbs and water into ya, you'll be right back to where you were at this morning, you'll see. Salt's probably good for this shit, too, dilute the mako or something. Jerky's a good idea. ...Oh! Y'know what we need? Some rice. Mom used to put rice in the salt shaker to get the moisture out and keep it fresh. 'Course that was uncooked rice, so I dunno what happens once it's in the body... well, whatever! We can try it. I'll see if they have some, they've got a little grocery corner in there, I think. Dried goods and stuff.
