The Mess hall is a large room, longer than it is wide. Two thirds of it is devoted to long, wall-to-wall tables with benches. The remaining third is the Galley itself, which can be entered through two steel doors to the hatches left. With numerous cooking stoves and appliances, as well as cabinets stocked with utensils, dishes, and minor supplies, this can only be seen when you are lined up to receive your meal. Everything is clean and in pristine shape.
The Unity has no Officer's Mess, so the crew eats together.

Hey baby, won't you take a little ride with me.
Have a look around,
See what we can see.
I've got the paddle,
I've got the boat.
Come on baby, I know she'll float.
We'll go rolling on the river of love.  ❤ Peter Ryan ❤
"If I could breathe, I'd sing a song for you. Life's but a dream, and I'm dreaming of you."
Ryan arrived at the Galley, though he was using a flashlight to see.
"Hey, anyone here? Anyone need help?"
Drift away from all these city lights,
Might rock a little bit,
So hold on tight.
Let's get carried away with the gentle flow.
Might get caught up in its undertow.
We'll go rolling on the river of love.

~~Serena Fayne~~  "Thou be a bootless beef-witted crutch!"
Serena was in the galley trying to make as much food as she could muster whilst in the dark. She was swearing at herself not at her helpers though. In any event it would be a miracle if any food was served at all, let alone it tasting any good.
"I wouldn't go back there Mate, she's ordered us all out of the kitchen. Says she'll do it herself."
About five men walked past Ryan, grins on their faces. They sure did love it when Serena went off. You never knew what was going to come out of that pretty little mouth of hers.

"If I could breathe, I'd sing a song for you. Life's but a dream, and I'm dreaming of you."
"Oh...kay?"
Ryan gingerly entered the Galley, watching where he stepped. He stopped when his flashlight hit blue hair.
"You wouldn't happen to be the cook here, would you? Need any help?"
Drift away from all these city lights,
Might rock a little bit,

~~Serena Fayne~~ "Ye distempered boil-brained canker-blossom!"
Serena spun around when she heard Ryan enter. She brought her hand up quickly to shield her eyes.
"What... Oh, pardon me. So sorry, was I going off again? I do apologize. Yes I'm the cook, chef, thingy here... Could you please bring that light over here? I can't see a dogfish over here! Oops there I go again, please do excuse me... "
Serena spun around and began chopping blindly once more before she spun around again, blue hair flying and knife in hand.
"Oh dear, I am sooo rude! My name is Serena." She pointed the knife at Ryan. "What's yours?"

"If I could breathe, I'd sing a song for you. Life's but a dream, and I'm dreaming of you."
Ryan moved back a little at the knife, but kept the flashlight pointed where she'd asked.
"Peter Ryan. Are you sure you should be in here? The ship's gone haywire and there's no lights here. You could hurt yourself."

~~Serena Fayne~~ Serena chuckled softly, her shoulders shaking a little.
"Heh! Of course! I barely ever leave this place. Plus I can chop with my eyes closed."
She shut her eyes and sliced a cucumber so thin it was a marvel to behold. She opened her eyes again and looked at what she's done, quite proud of herself. She smiled.
"See... Plus the only time I hurt myself is when I run into something because someone else forgot to put it away. Though I do cut myself sometimes..."
She picked up the knife and looked at it in the dim flashlight. She turned her brilliant smile on Ryan.
"Would you look at that! No blood!! It's a good day indeed."

"If I could breathe, I'd sing a song for you. Life's but a dream, and I'm dreaming of you."
Ryan stared, slowly shaking his head.
"You know, this would be easier if you got the lights on. Computer, lights!"
There was no response. All the power was off.
"Hmm...have you tried requesting a power redistribution?"

~~Serena Fayne~~ "From My Lady? At a time like this? No, never! Plus I can handle it. And the Sickbay will need it more than I do. My Lady knows I can work in the dark. But..."
She took the flashlight from Ryan's hand and placed it light up on the bench. The flashlight now gave a wider range and also bounced back off the pots hanging above.
"That's better. Now, if you like, you can butter the bread... Though it isn't real butter. Terrible stuff it is, tastes like plastic... Maybe when we're back in action I'll ask My Lady if we can find some real stuff. What do you think?"

"If I could breathe, I'd sing a song for you. Life's but a dream, and I'm dreaming of you."
Ryan couldn't think of anything to say. This woman was absolutely mad! The ship was falling apart, and here she was, making food, in the dark.
"Uh, Miss Serena, when was your last examination from the doctor?"

~~Serena Fayne~~ Serena stopped what she was doing and brought the tip of the knife to her chin in thoughtfulness.
"Do you know what? I truly can not remember. Ha! It must have been awhile. Why do you ask?"
She shrugged her shoulders and went back to chopping up the next lot of vegetables.

"If I could breathe, I'd sing a song for you. Life's but a dream, and I'm dreaming of you."
"Well, for one thing, it's completely dark. The ship is falling apart. And you're casually waving a knife around."
As a passenger, Ryan had no authority to request power be routed to the Galley.
"At least get some lights on in here."

~~Serena Fayne~~ Serena was confused.
"Yes... I know there are no lights on in here because they go to where they are needed most. When it's meal time, they will soon be directed here, so not to worry. Though I still have no idea what that has to do with me and a check-up from the Doc."
Serena placed all the vegetables in the biggest pot the kitchen owned. It was a huge heavy thing but she seemed to be able to do it. She hefted it up under the tap and started adding water to cover the vegetables.
"Plus when I start the stoves there will be more light. And there's your flashlight. This is actually better than what I normally have to deal with."

"If I could breathe, I'd sing a song for you. Life's but a dream, and I'm dreaming of you."
The lights flickered, then blazed on, revealing the entire Galley, as well as all the damage and debris.
"I guess I can clear some room while you cook. I'm sure we'll have guests in here soon."
Ryan began clearing the debris off the table, though he just pushed it onto the floor, right now, all they needed was room. Later, he'd help her actually straighten up.

~~Serena Fayne~~ "Thank You, you're a real sweet heart. I would never have asked her for light in a million years. Fie! Look at this mess! It's a wonder I didn't knock myself out... Ohhh that's what you were getting at."
Serena smiled weakly before lugging the giant pot to the stove and turning on the burners. She walked into the pantry at the back of the galley and ruffling sounds could be heard.
"Where on Se-Combeian did I put that evil-eyed bum-bailey now? Oh, here it is right in front of my eyes. Seriously..."
Serena walked back out, beef stock in hand.
"Oh, I'm so embarrassed, I forgot you were still here. I really should mind my manners a bit more."
