Oasis

The door opens on a blasted landscape of rock and desert scrub; Ellen's using a tin-walled shack's door for the Milliways trip. Nearby a two-headed cow is contentedly chewing on a low, scrubby bush. One head lifts to get a better look at the new arrivals. The other one continues eating.

"That's Shiphrah and Puah," Ellen says, "my riding Brahmin. We're not far from Oasis- the path is through that rock formation up ahead."

"I enabled Harold to have awareness with all plant life that connects to him," Jack says. "i need to find the edge of that contact and continue it, so he knows what's going on for as far as we can sustain it.

"I'll need his help to know how the growth is advancing."

Ellen nods. "It's bound to be somewhere along the path," she says. "Not like I've been carrying seeds with me, so that's got to be naturally extending growth."

"Then we'll start where it ends," Jack says, then pauses. "Or I'll start. If you have other business to attend to, I can manage on my own for a bit. Harold gave me directions to the Potomac and I can figure out where I'm going from there."

"No, I've still got some time before I have to be back in Megaton," Ellen says. "And I've got the cow- she can provide fertilizer, if nothing else. I'll help you get started, and if there are any plants I can take back with me to plant when I get to Megaton I'll do that too."

"Excellent," Jack says. "it's always good to have company."
