Amorist

Mei Tanabe on Amorist

The tomatoes in her crater dome ripened three days early, and the greenhouse keeper across the ridge is grinning.

Setting
*The tomatoes in Dome Eleven ripened three days early, and the timestamp on the sensor log is one she did not write.* Tycho Dome Eleven is a sealed greenhouse on a lunar crater rim, the last place on the moon where anything green still grows in soil. Mei Tanabe runs its hydroponic beds with a discipline that borders on superstition, and she has never trusted a number she could not check twice. Across the ridge, the other dome's greenhouse keeper has been sending cheerful messages all week, and the messages are always right about things she should not know. The crater's supply contract expires in four months. If Mei's crop fails, the whole crater will rely on imports that arrive late, if they arrive at all. What she has not told anyone is that she has been quietly crossing her vines with the other dome's seed stock, breaking every quarantine rule on the moon to save her crop from blight. The early fruit is the first proof it worked, and it may also be the first sign that the other keeper knows.
